Shaq's startin' again

Shaquille O'Neal has again lost the respect of me and probably most of Lakers nation.  He apparently performed a rap freestyle dissing Kobe and blaming Kobe for his divorce -- 4 years after Kobe's ill advised mutterings. 

Let's dissect this shall we?

  1. Let's make it absolutely clear:  Shaquille O'Neal has again (as has been the case 99% of the time) started with Kobe.  So when everyone says Kobe drove Shaq out of L.A., once again note who started whining and crying.  Notice who started talking shit first -- The Big Nobody.
  2. Shaquille mentions the Lakers loss to the Celtics in the Finals saying something to the effect of 'Kobe couldn't win it without me.'  And Shaquille fails to mention that he rode Dwayne Wade's coattails to his only non-Kobe championship.    He also fails to note that his team didn't make it out of the first round.  Or that Kobe and the Lakers defeated the team that ran through them so easily.
  3. In a quote to the media, Shaquille says something to the effect of 'Nothing personal, it's a freestyle, it's what M.C's do.'  Someone, anyone, please tell this 300 pound mass that he's a lot of things -- a has been, a sheriff, a bad actor -- but an M.C. he is not.  He has never been.  Exhibit A:  'I'm a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting a divorce.'  huh?  wtf? horse, divorce, what?
  4. Blaming divorce on someone ratting you out - no matter how anti-man law snitching on a man's sex life may be - is really not sensible.  Don't blame Kobe for your divorce...blame your dick!
