nba - Shaquille O'Neal Retires.....

Respect Shaq. Foste uma importante peça de muitos jogos e passas-te por várias equipas: Magic, Heat, Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers e Suns (não por esta ordem).
Sempre foste impressionante tanto no tamanho, na relação velocidade/tamanho e naquela espectacular característica de ser uma quase completa NULIDADE nos lances livres. Grandes tijoladas que ainda se viam a sair da tua mão, com bolas quase sem arco nenhum.

Mas pronto. Obrigado, e agora siga para comentador e vendedor de carros :D.

Best-of da sua época de rookie. Grande velocidade, poder de elevação.... sim senhor...



"A generation that never saw Russell or Wilt and only captured Kareem with a bald spot will forever swear Shaq is the best big man ever. Hard to see why not. Nothing this big moved this quickly and covered more ground except a passing cloud."

Relembrando a famosa jogada em que a tabela não levou a melhor....


"What the numbers don't tell is how Shaq changed the way teams prepared for his teams. He was much like Wilt in that regard. Wilt was so much more overpowering than the man guarding him that it really was no contest. It almost wasn't fair. The league either tweaked certain rules or changed them completely when it came to Wilt. That didn't happen with Shaq. However, the rules for guarding big men were outdated when it came him. He was too big and strong for that. And so teams resorted to Hack-a-Shaq, to exploit Shaq's chronic and hopeless form at the free-throw line. "

"His commercials, hawking a diverse list of companies and products, flushed out his sense of humor and endeared him to a society that tended to fear or be intimidated by human beings his size.

"And now, after 19 years, that's a wrap. To borrow a Shaqism, it was, for the most part, a Shaqtacular ride."
