Title: Re: Shaq retiring Post by: 2Stater on June 02, 2011, 08:11:38 AM Gotta admit, he was good in his prime.
Title: Re: Shaq retiring Post by: ricky023 on June 02, 2011, 09:01:08 AM He should have retired 5 years ago I think. He has not really had any pep in his step since he left the Lakers to me. The dominating force is long gone. I really think he might make a good assistant coach somewhere. He knows the Lane work in BB. RTR!

When it said after 19 seasons. :what: Title: Re: Shaq retiring Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 02, 2011, 11:41:22 AM Shaq could stil be a very effective player if he woud take care of himself and lose weight. If he had played, at say 255 instead of 335, he could be a major force . He has been so out-of-shape and overweight, that he has been pretty much useless for the past 3 or 4 years, at least. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a big contibutor to the Lakers when he was 40, because he worked out, did yoga and stretching, and kept his weight around 240-250. Shaq retired at the age of 39, while Jabbar scored 22 points a game when he was 39. At age 40, Jabbar averaged 17 points and played when the Lakers won the title. Jabbar was disciplined while Shaq was lazy.

I was a fan of his when he played for the Magic. Let's hope he doesn't turn out like Sir Charles.
