Don’t Underestimate Shaq
I’m just warning all you pundits out there in these parts known as the Internet: Shaq doesn’t like losing, and he sure as hell didn’t come back for another season to miss the playoffs. I predicted he was going to retire if he won a championship, and I was wrong - apparently one more wasn’t enough.
Wade will be back for the playoffs, and until then Miami are climbing aboard the Diesel’s shoulders for one big push towards respectability.
I don’t care how old, injured, or tired he is. Shaq doesn’t miss the playoffs. He just doesn’t. Wanna look it up? Aw shucks, I did it for you. How kind. From his NBA.com bio:
the only year his team failed to qualify for the playoffs was his rookie year (1992-93)
When the time comes for the real season to begin, my money is on the Don Dada to be there. Seriously, don’t tell this man his team isn’t going to repeat as champions. He will move mountains to prove you wrong.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

[…] Two weeks ago, I said “Don’t Underestimate Shaq” when things looked their bleakest in Miami: the team was slumping, Dwyane Wade went down with what was then called “a season-ending injury” and Shaq hadn’t played in double-digit games so far, coming off what was essentially a prolonged vacation. Guess who’s looking like he’s 29 again? That’s right: Diesel. Last night, the Heat completely dominated the Jazz in the 4th quarter en route to a comeback from down as much as 17. They won the game 88-86 on a last-second miss by Carlos Boozer. With a collective NBA age of over 100, the Heat looked like spring chickens last night: Shaq looked great inside whenever he got touches, Gary Payton played almost the entire final quarter, Eddie Jones played defense and ran the floor, and more than anyone else, Antoine Walker played some terrific basketball to lead the Heat comeback. They only played on terrific quarter, but it was the one that counted, and that’s been the story of Shaq’s post-Laker career. […]

I just want to thank Shaq for being an inspiration to the Harrison Family. H e proved to us that money, fame, and most of all materialistic things does not matter if you don’t have family that you love beside you every step of the way up until the day of mourning for the one who has been your biggest FAN. We were so moved when he did something very special, it made me see him in a better way. Most of all his heart is Bigger than his super hero. THANK- YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A LITTLE SOMETHING.
