It's still hard for me to decide how to think of Shaq. For me, the 3 championships are still over shadowed by his laziness causing us at least 2 more rings, his immaturity after he-left drudging up the feud with Kobe after Kobe had seemingly moved on, his comments about the Lakers and that terrible freestyle he did.

But at the same time, he's still a really funny guy. He still has hilarious press conferences, media clips, dance moves, his Twitter page can be very entertaining.

It's not like he's an unlikeable guy or anything, I think he might be one of those athletes that after he retires he'll be easier to figure out with some perspective.

Though EliotTheFan is proving once again that many here are still obsessed with the man.

Only Shaq is big enough to steal the spotlight from Lebron if/when they meet the Lakers in the Finals.

when it's all said and done and the smoke clears, I'm sure I'll start to like him again. But right now he's either a giant douche or, i just don't think about him anymore.

Has-been. Should join the circus.

Cost the Lakers 5 years of title contention and ruined possibly 4 or 5 more titles because he couldn't share the spotlight. If you don't believe me, go ask Dwayne Wade and Penny Hardaway. And then in a year, ask Lebron James, if he isnt traded by the deadline.

I think of him as being the second best Center of all time, but a complete idiot and waste of talent. I don't have a problem with his funniness and attention whoring in the media, but I do have a problem when he tries to steal attention from his teammates.

What I have a problem with is his complete lack of an E.Q. and his destruction of every single team that he has been on up to this point. He's like a DEATH SENTENCE eventually.

Orlando was good, then blew up.
We were great, then blew up.
Miami was good, then blew up.

Penny, Kobe, and Wade, three of the hardest working players of all time, all come to a consensus that he is a lazy loser. We could have won at least 2 more titles if not for Shaq's laziness and attention whoring.

He's basically a loser.
