"and you know that."

Nah...

See, the NBA has a million players who can stand around and shoot. They can hit an open shot easily. But they can't create their own shot.

All Shaq needs is someone to give him the ball. If you can cut off the ball from Shaq, you can stop Shaq. But if he gets the ball, you will throw three bodies at him, and two players will be wide-open for a J. That's how Rick Fox, Derek Fisher, Kobe, and all that, were overrated, just being on a team with Shaq. If I wasn't being defended, I'd be okay at basketball, I think.
