Shaq AKA The Big Dope Questions Rick Barry's Credentials.

Check My Resume?

Snippet:
What we can argue with is what Shaq told Stephen A. Smith about Rick Barry’s long-standing offer to teach him to shoot free throws underhand: “Rick Barry’s resume is not good enough to even come into my office to be qualified for a job. I will shoot negative-30 percent before I shoot underhanded,” Shaq said. Wow. All we’re gonna say is that Rick is in the Hall of Fame, has a ring, averaged 23 points a game over his career, and shot 90 percent from the stripe …



What an idiot...He has no respect, who the fuck does he think he is questioning a hall of famer's resume like that? Especially on free-throw shooting...

LOL, of course Shaq ain't gonna get down like that.  Dude shot freethrows underhand.  It's like the line from White Men Can't Jump - "You'd rather look good and lose than look bad and win".  Even if it did improve his FT shooting, he'd be too worried about getting clowned on for shooting underhand.  I'd bet that the overwhelming majority of NBA players would agree.

You guys are making great sense! Why does the big immature faggot have to say shit like, "Rick Barry’s resume is not good enough to even come into my office"? WTF? Kobe would never say some shit like that, yet he's the one who gets portrayed as the "asshole"...

[rik]

Dudes a fuckin moron for that. It's okay if he doesn't want to shoot underhand but to call out a hall of famer like that is just outrages.

Maybe he's tired of hearing it being brought up and lost his cool.

If you lose your cool in an interview with Steven A. Smith when you know millions are gunna hear what you say, you're pretty much stupid...Not saying I expected any class, I mean, this IS Shaq we're talking about...

Ummm...Yes. It's Rick Barry. The greatest free-throw shooter in the NBA's history as well as a champion and a hall-of-famer...Just because you're not old enough to remember him doesn't mean he's not a legend...Snaq has no rights questioning the resume of an NBA hall-of-famer, especially a free-throw shooting specialist, it shows a lack of class and respect...PeACe

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

Shaq should start hangin out with T.O.

Listen man, I respect you as a bball head.  But you gotta let the whole Shaq thing go.  He's gone from LA, yall got a whole new team pretty much with assloads of potential.  It probably don't help that he won the championship with Miami, regardless if it was handed to him on a silver fuckin platter by the officials.  Let that shit go though, spend your time droppin some more bball knowledge.  Peace

It's not like I'm just looking for things to hate on Shaq for, dude blatantly showed a lack of respect to a legend and I just informed ya'll, thought ya'll would find it interesting...I'm very excited about the potential on our current squad, but that has nothing to do with this thread...PeACe

Ummm...Yes. It's Rick Barry. The 2nd greatest free-throw shooter in the NBA's history as well as a champion and a hall-of-famer...Just because you're not old enough to remember him doesn't mean he's not a legend...Snaq has no rights questioning the resume of an NBA hall-of-famer, especially a free-throw shooting specialist, it shows a lack of class and respect...PeACe

actually i do know who rick barry is , he has two sons who play in the league each of whom who have played for both the clippers and the lakers....and again it's RICK BARRY, it's not like it was jordan or magic. like shaq said he doesn't measure up to him, barry has 1 championship and the second best best free throw % (mark price is the best), nice but  shaq's got 4 championships. shaq's also got 6 different mvp awards,a shoe in for the hall of fame two scoring titles, took every team he played for to the nba finals, dubbed the most dominant player in NBA history, arguably the leagues best center in history, an olympic gold medal, a FIBA gold medal, #15 on the all time scoring list (with the 2nd fewest games played), 24th on the all time rebounds list (witht the 3rd fewest played games), 8th  on the all time blocks list (with the second fewest games played, 2nd on the all time field goal percentage list, 7th in points per game, 20th on the all time rebounds per game,10th in field goals made, 12th all time blocks per game......and all this with either the 2nd or 3rd fewest games played  out of all players on these lsits. shaq said he's going to play 4 more years and if he gets HALF of what he got last year he'll move up DEEP into these all time lists in just next year.

shit talking yes? but it's not like he's talking down on someone who has a better reseme than him
