“Big Baby” Davis kept looking me off and taking it himself. Doc is shouting at him to go inside, but he won’t. So Doc calls timeout and draws up a play for me. I go out there, and I back Andrew Bynum way under the rim. I’m loose, I’m ready. I’ve got Bynum under the basket and again, Baby won’t give me the ball. So I go up to him and say, “If you ever miss me again I’m going to punch you in the face.” I was hot.

Two nights later we’re playing in Sacramento and here we go again. I take three shots the entire game and again I’ve got my man isolated underneath the basket, and Baby ignores me and takes a jump shot. So the next time we’re in the huddle I let Baby have it.

I tell him, “Pass the [expletive] ball inside.” He comes back at me a little bit and now I’m really heated. All hell is breaking loose. We’re going back and forth. Doc is standing there and he’s not saying a word. The message is pretty clear: Work this out yourselves. I tell Baby, “You’re a selfish player. Everyone on this team knows it.” Hey, all the fans knew it. He takes shots when he shouldn’t.

That is not going to help Davis and his acceptance issues.

Then there is the story of why Doc Rivers never really loved Nate Robinson the way most fans did.

I wasn’t surprised at all when he got traded. Nate was always trying to get noticed by the public. He was always tweeting videos of himself punking his teammates … Some people are a little too focused on Twitter and Nate was one of them. He was too worried about how many followers he had. He kept saying, “Shaq, I need more people. Help me out.”

Haha oh Shaq. Thing is he's right. I noticed that about Nate Robinson too. I don't really mind him but he seemed like he wanted to be the "fun" guy more than playing the game. Although, with the playing time he had, there was plenty of time to do stuff like that.

this book sounds like its going to be dope. but really, what hes saying about big baby seems to be true. i dont follow him but when i see him play he makes dumb plays for a big man. and about nate, wtf. shaq loved the game but his ego off the court and how he was always a fan favorite is just what nate is wanting to be. lol

Shaq is on some other stuff with this book. I'm not sure I like this. It seems more like he's outing everybody in the L.
