    GG Shaq, one of my favorite athletes of all time. Beastly on the court, larger than life and hilariously awesome off it. What's your favorite scary movie? Kazaam.

    which is a scary thing to say. The most dominant player of a generation, didn't live up to his potential.

    Glad to see him hang it up, it's never fun to watch the great ones go on for years after they should have quit.

    Finals MVP

    2000 -- Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Lakers
    Averaged 38.0 points, 16.7 rebounds and 2.67 blocks to lead the Lakers to a 4-2 victory over the Indiana Pacers and the franchise’s first NBA Championship since 1988. O’Neal’s best Finals performances came at the Staples Center with 43 points, 19 rebounds in Game #1, 40 points, 24 rebounds in Game #2 and 41 points, 12 rebounds in Game #6.

    2001 -- Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Lakers
    Averaged 33.0 points, 15.6 rebounds and 3.40 blocks to lead the Lakers to a 4-1victory over the Philadelphia 76ers and the franchise’s second consecutive NBA Championship. O’Neal’s best Finals performances came at the Staples Center with 44 points, 20 rebounds and five assists in Game #1, 28 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists in Game #2 and 34 points, 14 rebounds in Game #4.

    2002 -- Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Lakers
    Averaged 36.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.75 blocks to lead the Lakers to a sweep of the New Jersey Nets and the franchise’s third consecutive NBA Championship. O’Neal’s best Finals performances came at the Staples Center with 36 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks in Game #1, 40 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in Game #2, 35 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in Game #3.

    One of the greatest centers ever to play.

    2000 shaq was a fucking beast. pacers couldve won that title if he wasnt sooo dominant. he was unstoppable period.

    i remember shaq as a power forward in college, cant believe im at that age where i can remember someone in college who played 19 more years in the NBA. getting old

    Shaq's the man, all time great center, hilarious personality etc but I really don't see him on any of those NBA live shows like the one charles is on. That's not his style at all. People love to make fun of Charles but the dude knows his shit and is fairly decent at saying it and giving good reasons. Can anyone here see Shaq sitting next to kenny breaking down Dallas' defensive struggles against Lebron or even going on for more than one or two lines about anything basketball related? Sorry, Shaq might get some cameos in a few movies, that's it.
