Shaq talks more shit...relationship with Pat Riley ended on bitter a note.

Snippet:
"I love playing for this coach and I love playing with these guys," said O'Neal yesterday. "We have professionals who know what to do. No one is asking me to play with Chris Quinn or Ricky Davis. I'm actually on a team again."

The once-blissful marriage between Shaq and Riles ended badly. As their championship core crumbled, so did their relationship. Heat officials believe Shaq quit on them and point to his chronic hip problems that prevented him from playing in Miami but have not stopped him from averaging 29.3 minutes a night with the Suns. Conversely, Shaq believes Riley quit on him and saddled him with the blame for the franchise's implosion.

"I guess when you have a lot of power, you can do what you want," O'Neal said. "Me? If I ever came into that kind of power, I think I'd be willing to admit it if I messed up."

"I have not left any of the teams on good notes," O'Neal said. "We players have our own little fraternity. We talk about stuff, so I've got to figure the coaches do, too. They are probably saying I'm an [expletive]. So I came to Phoenix prepared to show them what kind of person I am."

LOL...this is the same guy who said Pat Riley was his greatest coach ever (as a shot at Phil Jackson).

Same story different team. Won't take long before this starts happening in Phoenix too.

^ you beat me to the punch... I was just about to say that it's only a matter of time before we hear that D'Antoni is the biggest piece of crap that he's ever played for.

^If he brings a championship to Phoenix first, I think it's a fair trade.

You guys act as if I said that the Suns are going to win a championship.

This is the thing I have a problem with, why call out teammates by name? Ricky Davis and Chris Quinn aren't the reason Miami sucked. If people STILL can't see this guy is a cancer then they just don't want to see it.

I give Pat Riley his credit cuz I remember last season he said "if Shaq wants to take off half the season thats fine but he needs to give us half of his season earnings".

Off-topic: NIK, whats up with the quotes you were gonna post a while back about Shaq's problems in the Orlando days?

What a douche, and Ricky Davis (who came off the bench) was a better scorer than his fat ass

The question is this:  Does NIK hate Shaq more than he loves Kobe?  I say yes.  So much negativity NIK, you should consult "The Secret" immediately.

Come to think of it, I haven't liked my last few bosses either.  Fuck authority.  Get em Shaq.

Talking about a coach is one thing but to call your former teammates that never did anything to you is bullshit

lol, how do you know his former teammates never did anything to him?  Bottom line is, everybody tryin to take issue w/ what he said doesn't know the deal and its all speculation anyway. 

I mean shit, Kobe shitted on Bynum hard as hell and snitched on Shaq to the po po. 

That really is the most pathetic shit, snitchin on your teammate to the police about gettin ass on the side.  Kobe loses again.
