none to classy on Shaq’s part. Man there must be some real bad blood between him and Kobe. I thought they were over it, guess i was wrong

Juvenile? Absolutely. Still, he got a whole room to say “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes”, and that is a sweet sound.

Of course JSun beat me to a post on this! Gossip site whore!

And I have to admit I thought this was kind of funny until the horror dawned on me that Shaq is indeed a Sun. Then I became considerably less enamored of the display. In addition to bagging on Kobe, he got cheap shots in there at Patrick Ewing and the homeless, so at least he’s an equal opportunity douchebag. And there’s your Bright Side. Yikes.

But, he’s on the Suns.

You can’t talk smack when the smackee owned you last season. Now, we’ve got “that guy” on the squad. Just lovely.

Also, why, exactly, does Kobe have that taste in his mouth?

I wouldn’t have to comment here until next season. Those lyrics were horrible and we all know you would be laughing at him had he not been traded to your team (though him pretty much screwing up one of the best teams to watch can’t give him to much love either).

I don’t know if any of you listen to Jim Rome, but even here in the LA area the Laker flagship station has been playing a sound clip of him (Rome) riffing on Shaq after the Lakers lost game 5 last week, something along the lines of how Shaq was pretty obviously the happiest guy outside the Celtic locker room, doing an imitation of Shaq laughing at Kobe “can you dig it” etc., pretty much a cleaner, non-rap version of what Shaq just busted out with.

I’ll take this as a funny, non-basketball, off-season diversion that continues to rain on Kobe’s parade. And yes, I know that makes me a hater. Just think about how this will add a little more spice to Suns/Laker games next year, and then we can watch Mark Jackson and JVG whip themselves into a frenzy about how ridiculous this all is.

He just hates being out of the spotlight.

At the risk of sound like a clueless, uptight b*tch with a stick up my ass (tell me how my…nevermind), this whole thing is why I have had trouble getting too into the NBA in the past. I love to watch basketball. It’s a great sport…lots of action…fun rivalries…but then we get so distracted away from the sport itself with stuff like this that it stops being so much fun.

I couldn’t care less what pseudo-expletives Shaq used and what personal laundry he chose to air with the divorcing horse…thing…Shaq looked like a trashed buffoon in that little performance, and he did it without the cred of having a championship with his current team to back it up. His current team. The ones watching their rep melt under the Big Sun’s heat.

When the season starts again with Shaq on the court, how many of us are going to look at him without thinking about this little stunt? When the Suns play the Lakers, are we going to be watching Shaq’s and Kobe’s skills, or will we be wondering who will be rapping next in a club near you?

I just want to get into the game!

Sheriff Joe…HA!...I know who he is, and I live 2,000 miles from his ranch.

End rant.
