Shaq is an Idiot.

It's well-documented that Shaquille O'Neal has high standards for coaches. Typically, it takes one of iconic status such as Pat Riley or Phil Jackson to impress him. That makes his praise of LeBron James that much more notable. "His basketball IQ is phenomenal," O'Neal said of James. "He could coach in the NBA right now." The 24-year-old James has impressed O'Neal with his thorough knowledge of the game -- his understanding of angles, of defensive principles, of how to set up teammates, of how opponents defend various plays and players, and of not only his own responsibilities on the court but those of all his teammates as well.

People wonder why I hate Shaq and it's for shit like this. He doesn't believe half of what he says. He just loves to hear himself talk and see his name in the headlines. I guess this is what it takes to stay relevant when you're the 4th best team in the East after you said you'd be the champs. Why don't people ever bring up how teams actually play better after he leaves? Or how he's been cheating on his wife with Gilbert Arenas' baby momma. Yeah. Tiger isn't the only piece of shit in town.
