Shaq giveth and Shaq taketh away
Just hours after his best game as a Sun and making solid strides to winning the affection (or at least respect) from this Shaq hater the Big Dominatrix said this:
“I felt fresh. Usually after two days off I feel fresh thanks to the upper management and their decision. You never know until you really get out there, but two days off you can’t complain about that.”
But then, I guess that was just too sane for a Shaq feeling his youthful oats so he let this blast fly via Twitter of all things:
On the plane back to #PHX, another Suns W. Bogut is Erika Dampier with a beard
Thank you Shaq. You've played well this year for the Suns and have made a real difference on the floor with your large presence. You are playing like a man re-born.
Isn't that enough with out needing to disrespect two of your opponents?
Lesser men each who weren't born with the body of a giant combined with a certain measure of basketball skill. Of course, that's all relative too since Dampier and Bogut aren't exactly Ostertag.
There's something to be said for the old school rules of baseball or hockey that would deal with this kind of thing with a fastball high and in or some old fashion goon action.
Basketball in the Stern age doesn't allow for self-policing and so Shaq's disrespect to the game goes unpunished.

Shaq
It does get old, but this is what he is, always was and always will be. I too wish he would lace em up and play ball, but this is a whole different world with these athletes. Ego is a big part of all of these guys. Someone somewhere makes an off hand remark, and it is " He disrespects my game" and nothing turns into something.
Funny what several millions of dollars will do.

No, it's not Shaq's twitter
If the @DeronWilliams twitter account was fake, then this is doubly fake.

Yeah, but
Didn’t Dampier say something stupid like he was the next Shaq after Cuban gave him a butt-load of money?
Interesting comparison to Ostertag, since someone like that is all STAT needs to be the next Mailman.

Yeah, Damp said
He was the second best center in the league and a “Shaq Stopper”.
If this is the worst thing Shaq does all season it’ll be a good year.

Shaq is promoting vitamin water by twitter?
Isn’t Nash the spokesplayer?

Good point
This is a pretty smart way to get attention for his sponsor. Say something silly that gets attention for your sponsor.
I take it all back. Shaq is a genius marketer and has been playing me all along.
Mad Men!

This is pretty small
I mean, Shaq harasses a woman? Criticize him. Shaq talks trash about his own teammates. Criticize him.
Shaq “disrespects” opposing players? I mean, it’s cocky, but who cares? Trash talking is part of the game. Frankly, we need someone who can do that. Remember Lebron jawing at Arenas? Jordan, Isiah, and Bird at everyone? Barkley leaving notes in the Pistons locker room that just said “Dear Bill, Fuck you. Charles.”
I don’t really care about that kind of stuff, and, in a way, I support it. We’re kinda soft.

On the court
that’s fine – I mean look at KG right? That’s part of the game. That’s getting into a guys head and under his skin.
But this just feels petty. This isn’t about the game. This is about Shaq running his mouth because he can. Or he thinks it’s funny.

If it were plain cockiness, I would fully support it
However, the widespread application of these digs by an otherwise elder statesman Shaq seem to come from insecurity rather than cockiness.
It’s the fear of a 7 foot 330 pound insecure man that scares me.
