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

[Black_Smoke]

lol wouldnt be that big of a differnce,shaq looks like a dummy/retard when hes shooting freethrows anyways..

[Don Jacob]

like shaq said "i always make them when they count" and "what is dirk's free throw %? 80 something? and how many crucial free throws did he miss?" and again shaq makes them when they count

[WC Iz Active]

Rick Barry was a GREAT player! Shaq is a idiot, he probably doesnt even know Rick Barry's team was on the winning end of the biggest upset ever in Nba finals history in the early 70's.  I think that was also the year Barry averaged 35 points per game and won mvp.  Fuck Shaq

it's rick barry....it's not like it was jordan or magic , plus i really doubt shooting underhanded would help any. he just needs to bring back that taco neck syndrome from 97' lol

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

LMAO, all of what you're saying doesn't matter, it's an excuse for Shaq to act classless...The point is, Ricky Barry is a legend who came BEFORE Shaq, therefore, Shaq should show respect to the man, especially since he specializes in an area Shaq lacks in...He's been playing and teaching basketball his whole life, dude is a way more humble person than Shaq can dream of being...You don't talk shit to a hall-of-famer who offers you help, that's tasteless, and that's exactly what Shaq is, tasteless...


PS. Rick Barry was 2nd in NBA career free throw %, but he was 1st in the ABA.

like shaq said "i always make them when they count" and "what is dirk's free throw %? 80 something? and how many crucial free throws did he miss?" and again shaq makes them when they count

Shaq makes them when they count? LOL. You really love him, huh? Show me something that proves his percentage is higher in clutch moments, and I will agree...Shaq has said this his whole career, but I ALWAYS see him missing important free throws...And yea, EVERY free throw counts...LOL@Snaq.

remember when shaq hit those free throws in portland in 2000?
remember when shaq hit those free throws against seattle in 97' ?
remember when shaq hit those free throws against minnesota in 2004?
remember when shaq hit those free throws against the sixers in 2001?
remember when shaq hit those free throws against the pacers in 2000?
remember when he hit those free throws against the pacers in 95' ?
remember when he hit those free throws against detroit in 95'?


again you can shoot 80% through out he year but miss clutch freethrows when they count, anyone remember "the mail man doesn't deliver on sundays" in 97' ?

can you name a solidary playoff game that shaq missed clutch free throws that cost the lakers the game?

[I Am The Anton]

Maybe if he would actually hit his free throws early on in the game maybe there wouldn't be as many situations where his team NEEDS a free throw from him......

Dude, he hit free-throws, that's EXPECTED. but it doesn't matter, he's missed so many more that only a groupie can come up with an argument defending Shaq as a free-throw shooter. He's missed his share of clutch free-throws, he's been sat out later in games primarily because of hack-a-Shaq. But all that don't matter. Bottom line is that Shaq made a tasteless comment about a legend, and that's just the type of person he is...PeACe

[Don Jacob]

give me an instance where he missed a CLUTCH free throw that cost the lakers a playoff series or game.

and he didn't really diss rick barry he just said " he doesn't have the reseme to come in my office to get a job" i mean shit if i was shaq i'd take the offer , but that's what makes him shaq he stands by what he says and he's confident in his decisions. he didn't say rick barry is whack, he didn't say rick barry sucks, he just said that he's not on his level. which is true. it's like  don nelson trying to give phil jackson player relations tips. phil's won without having to do what don nelson does. same with shaq, shaq's accomplished so much more than rick barry without barry's help. Shaq has made them when they count and won so why does he need rick barry.

He didn't say "Ricky Barry's resume isn't as good as mine" he said "Rick Barry's resume isn't good ENOUGH", which is basically pissing on his legacy...Rick Barry was offering advice on shooting free-throws, something Shaq is terrible at and Rick is a specialist at, not asking Shaq for the approval of his resume...Shaq is a classless moron, there probably haven't been that many clutch free throws he's missed, cuz he usually doesn't get the ball in clutch situations anyways, but I know for a fact that his free throw shooting alone has cost teams games and games, including the Lakers...PeACe

I don't need an example, cuz that's not my main point, my main point is that Shaq is a bitch who made a bitch comment. But here's an example...Any game where Shaq has missed 50% or more of his free throws and the Lakers lost by a small margin, that's a game lost thanks to Shaq's terrible free-throw shooting...I'm sure you can find many examples on your own, I'm not gunna sit here and do that, but like I said, that wasn't the main point to begin with...PeACe

[Don Jacob]

and my main point was so what if he MILDLY dissed rick barry , again it's rick barry not someone who's done more than or had a better career than shaq, if shaq was 20 and was saying this fine, but it's now and it's not that big of a deal, no one else is making it a big deal other than you and a few other bitter laker fans.  and again shaq has almost always come through in the play offs with clutch free throws

I'm not making a big deal, you are by trying to defend it, I just said it was a bitch-made thing to say, as it obviously was...Can you honestly picture Kobe or Jordan saying some shit like that? It's not even on Charles Barkley status, it's straight Shaq...PeACe
