shaq needs to hang upthe size 45 shoes this off-season.

 

[Yankees2772]

He can't shoot FTs for shit, but he is actually pretty effective when he plays even to this day. (Shaq)

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I agree Yanks but at the same time this game isn't over and he's a great spark at this point.

 

[Pugz]

his body is done though. and when you had the success he has its kinda bad as a fan to see him hardly play throughout the regular season.

shaqs not capable of playing 15+ minutes anymore

and averages low numbers

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Boston has two different teams. The team with Shaq, and the team without Shaq.

 

[fizzjsp]

totally agree, shaq wasn't a good pickup

his careers over.

Well, on the season he averaged over 20 minutes per game with 9.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.1 bpg, while shooting .667 from the field. Yes, he's old/slow as fuck, and always hurt, but when he's on the court he still makes the team better. With him on the floor, they are 8 points better than when he's off.

im not denying hes still a "force". he is. if healthy and gives up 18-22mpg he will help. but to me, hes an icon for our generation of nba fans. to see him get this amount of time or lack of, is kinda sad.

 

[fizzjsp]

i admit, he's a great presence inside + alters shot, but now they don't have a "real" center.

Rio on that KU shit

 

[The Young One]

Pierce swaggin

 

[bosoxlover12]

thats how ya do it

 

[Yankees2772]

They didn't get rid of Perkins because of Shaq... They got rid of him because they probably thought he'd never be the same player again.

I think Shaq is the best player of all time (yeah, a bit out there...) and it is sad to see him deteriorate like this, I agree.

 

[fizzjsp]

pierce,KG,Allen raping this game.

how do you quote someone btw?

and he was asking for ridiclous numbers too.

Jermaine O'Neal has done just as much as Perk would in these playoffs

bill russel is the goat

i admit he has, the team still has all roles filled

 

[The Young One]

Interesting question here...

Did we as fans overrated Perkins defense..people used to talk about how he played Dwight as good as you could play him. But that was before D12 started working with the Dream.
