MSNBC had this bulleted list over on an article of theres, this is what the critics seem to be going nuts over:
- Shaq can’t play anymore.
- He’s not going to be satisfied just being a defensive player and inbounder.
- He’s too slow to keep up with the Suns speed and fast break.
- Western teams play small and who will he defend?
- He’s out of shape and always injured.
- D’Antoni doesn’t like a postup or halfcourt game, which was Shaq’s specialty when he was the Big Diesel.
- He was complaining about his touches even in Miami.
- Are you taking the ball out of Steve Nash’s hands to run offense through Shaq?
- Shaq didn’t defend the pick and roll even in L.A.
- Marion was the Suns best defender.
- It’s just an overreaction to the Lakers getting Pau Gasol and the Mavericks reportedly trying to get Shaq in their game, which does feature more half court.
Shaq’s big thing is that he is big, which can be a good thing, but in this case it is not. Being big on a basketball court just allows your to block super well, but the Suns big thing is that they have an incredibly fast offense, will Shaq slow them down?
I remember Shaq from the old days, back from when everyone worshiped him and tolerated his horrible video game skills in Shaq-Fu. Now a days, Shaq just might be out of gas.
Now that the Suns have their Virtual Locker Room up, what do you think the chances of seeing some Shaq memorabilia around, you know like a Kazaam poster or a flash version of the Shaq-Fu game?

Sounds like Shaq might add some funk to the locker room.
No kidding. Self-admittedly, he has gas.
