Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

After a few days of not talking to the media in "protest" for his almost being traded, The Big Media spoke today.

You will be surprised to learn that Shaq thinks the Suns need to play some defense in addition to scoring a lot of points and oh, by the way he wants more touches. That didn't take long.

Before you jump all over Shaq for speaking out against the system, lets not forget that he's not the first Suns player to do so this season.

Not a peep

I’m going to let the Big Ego off the hook. Mainly because Matt at HP already said it far better than I could have anyway.

To many

 Demanding ego’s I guess? Maybe that is the entire problem. It seems to have gummed a well greased machine up and help lead to a Marion trade for Shaq. At least I think it did? That story still changes per week though.

that just laid down over 420 points in three games.

:-)

too small a sample space, to draw any conclusions from

Whats up doc?

Of course he wants more touches

He’s just trying to keep the ship afloat until Amare returns … then he’ll fade back into being a second or third option.

He’s The Big Peacemaker, after all

As soon as people start double teaming him again...

They

should tell him. For every defensive stop or rebound. You get one touch.

only

if they tell Nash the same thing :)

Yeah, there ya go

Let’s run the offense through Jason Richardson! He gets to shoot every time someone other than himself doesn’t get a stop or a rebound. Unless he wants to shoot anyway.

He wouldn't touch the ball!

Dated quotes?

I’ll swear that’s some kind of mash-up of quotes from a couple days ago and more recently. I’m pretty sure I read some of those quotes in an article before the Celtics game.
