DALLAS -- Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal was fined $10,000, and the team an additional $25,000, after he did not make himself available for interviews Sunday night after Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
O'Neal had a career playoff-low five points on 2-for-5 shooting in the 99-85 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat trail 2-0 heading to Tuesday's Game 3 in South Florida.
The NBA announced the fines about an hour after the game ended.

what a bitch
somebody should hack-a-shaq
(http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/Machetes-Added.article.jpg)
-
He should of been suspended 8)
-
Fuck Shaq.
-
You can tell he must have been very pissed and very sad after that loss.
Hack-a-Shaq is working better than ever now lol. Counting the missed calls before lane violations, he's 2-19 FT% in the Finals. That's something someone who never played basketball could manage due to a little luck.
-
2-19 is a joke.
-
I love watching him get interviewed. He says the most absurd shit. I loved "i'm like pythagerin's theorm, I can't be solved" (C squared Shaq, C squared)
-
Fuck Shaq.
Hater :p
-
A proud one. 8)
-
LMAO. PLANT, where are you? "Shaq will be Finals MVP!"...LOLLLL. He's not even a tenth of what he used to be. I bet he wished he still had Kobe on his side to bail him out in these situations...Anyone who watched the 3peat Lakers in action on ESPN Classic yesterday morning, followed by Game 2 saw the big difference between a Wade and a Kobe...PeACe
-
^I still don't understand how anyone can seriously think Shaq is gonna be the finals MVP. Face it - Nowitzki is getting the finals MVP and a championship ring.
-
All you guys who hate on Shaq are assholes.....You should at least show some respect to one of the top ten players to EVER play the game, and the most dominent force of this generation....The only reason half you dickheads talk shit is becuase Shaq is not in a yellow and purple uni anymore. And if Miami does come back to win, the reason will be because Shaq takes over. I already said that Wade can put up 30 any night and the heat still lose, but if Shaq plays well Miami ALWAYS wins. Therefore if Miami wins, I feel Shaq will win the finals MVP. You watch, the Big Man will come out and play superb in game 3 and 4 in Miami.
Fuck all you haters. Grow up.....And all you cocksuckers who dropped my karma by -30 or so in the last few days can suck on Deez Nuts you buncha bitches

LMAO. Please explain how we're haters. You obviously fail to acknowledge that Shaq basically tried tearing apart the Laker franchise and cried like a big baby until he got his way. When he got traded, instead of moving on like a man, he continued bashing the Lakers, their front office, the owner, Kobe, the franchise, fans, and even the city!...And it goes on until this day!! But only now, he can't back his immature shit-talking up, because he's not even a shaddow of his old self...Please explain how we're haters? :-*
-
Yo the beef is over between Shaq and the Lakers, don't you think it's time to move on?? Damn leave the big fella alone, would you actually want to do an interview after you just got your ass handed to you, but watch out for the Diesel in the next 3 games, he's gonna run shit
-
fuck you dickhead
-
I got nothin against Shaq, obviously bein a life long Laker fan I'm glad we had em and he brought some titles back
however, I did want them to keep Kobe rather than him, which is obvious because of the age difference
but I loved those people who hated both Kobe and Shaq (Laker Haters) and then he left and all of them took his side just because
when the previous year when they had Malone and Payton, everyone hated Shaq, when the Lakers won everyone hated him
then he leaves and everyone loves him, routing for him, and sayin how the Lakers are gonna regret trading him
obviously had the Lakers kept Shaq instead it would be a nightmare right now
it was completely common sense to not pay a guy close to his mid-30's $30 million a year
even the season he had last year which was good still doesn't spark a debate
bottom line, dude is getting old, not strong enough and outta shape
when I heard him say 2 years ago that he wanted 3 more titles I fuckin laughed, I knew it was beyond impossible just because
-
fuck you dickhead
Excellent reply. 8)
-
when I heard him say 2 years ago that he wanted 3 more titles I fuckin laughed, I knew it was beyond impossible just because
It definitely woulda' been possible if he woulda' wised up and played behind Kobe for a few more years, accepting what he was worth, and not bitching for the spotlight like he did...PeACe

I'm talkin about when he left the Lakers, he got to the Heat and was all like "I wanna get 3 more" WITHOUT Kobe
I mean fuck, even with Kobe it woulda been an uphill battle, guy talked about it like he was gonna grab 'em like items in a store

LOL. I know...He guaranteed a title to Miami last season. :oi: :grumpy: :cow:

excepting what hes worth? are you serious? the guy took a 25 mil paycut so they could get players like J Dubs, Walker and Posey....Shaq didnt have to do that. He did it for the team because he wants to win unlike slefish ass Kobe who nobody wants to play with and quit on his team in the 4th quarter of a playoff game.....too bad the lakers are sitting at home watching your Daddy play in the NBA finals right now.
Shaq is loved by everyone in and around the league....Hes a great teamate and person....Does alot for the community and is down to earth. The only people who dont like Shaq are fags like NIK who choke on Kobes dick every day of their life.

LMAO. You don't pay attention...He wasn't willing to take a pay-cut with the Lakers, he bitched and whined for the maximum extension when he still had 3 years left on his contract and we had 2 well respected future hall-of-famers playing for basically free on our team... he only was "willing" to take it with the Heat because he realized no one was gunna pay a slow overweight aging injury prone center as much as he wanted...JERRY BUSS WAS WILLING TO PAY HIM THE SAME AMOUNT HE SIGNED WITH MIAMI FOR, BUT SHAQ WANTED MORE!...And nobody wants to play with "selfish ass" Kobe (who fed Shaq the ball better and made him look better than anyone ever did)?? You ignorant muthafucka, the whole league wants to play with Kobe VVV
Baron Davis was on ABC last night saying any player would love to play with Kobe and that he LOVES Kobe, being his biggest fan. Pierce was also giving mad props and said "regardless, everybodys dream is to be a Laker."
You're just an ignorant fool feeding off the media because you don't have a mind of your own. And you resort to childish insults because you have no credible arguments, it's hilarious, all you can say is "Kobe's sitting at home", when it's obvious that Kobe is a WAY better player than Shaq is currently...PeACe
-
PLANT, I'ma start off by sayin I like ya so this isn't directed towards you, but here is what I think:
he wants to win unlike slefish ass Kobe who nobody wants to play with and quit on his team in the 4th quarter of a playoff game
c'mon man, that's enough of the quitting shit, and I would say Shaq and Kobe are both equally selfish to an extent
too bad the lakers are sitting at home watching your Daddy play in the NBA finals right now.
would be a good thing to say IF they weren't down 0-2 and Shaq wasn't coming off the worst game of his career
Shaq is loved by everyone in and around the league
true, most people like him, but as far as the NBA fans go - they hated Shaq when he was on the Lakers
u don't know how much shit I heard people talk about Shaq around the country when he was winnin titles with the Lakers
then when he's off everyone hops on his dick, which kinda goes to show the resentment towards the Lakers franchise, or Kobe Bryant
The only people who dont like Shaq are fags like NIK who choke on Kobes dick every day of their life.
I will give u that mostly the people that don't like Shaq now are Laker fans
but, that's mainly because he talked shit about the organization and the city
so, if you're me and it doesn't mean too much - I don't give a shit
if the Lakers are your main team and b-ball is your main sport, I can semi-understand why fans don't like him now
just how I can understand Kobe being cocky and coming off a rape case and "breaking" up the Lakers as some see it, people hate his ass for that
I just feel it's all blind hate..... people who hate Shaq don't really know why they do, and the same with Kobe haters, they just do and try to prove the other wrong
-
and Kobe haters are really annoying cuz they don't have supportive statements
the Lakers are my team, Kobe is my favorite player, I live in Los Angeles, you can understand that
I'm no fuckin dickrider like I've stated, but Kobe catches a lot of heat for lame shit
-
how you gona say I dont have a mind of my own NIK? you fool.....im from Canada, my team is the Raptors....I CHOOSE to like Shaq.....you moron....you dont like Shaq because he left you are just like everyone else you weeny....
why dont you give him some props for bringin those titles to the lakers.....Shaq was winning games with LA when Kobe wasnt even a starter for that team. Are you gona hate Shaq for the rest of your life because Kobe wont win one without him?> Move on man, and grow the fuck up
-
all you can say is "Kobe's sitting at home", when it's obvious that Kobe is a WAY better player than Shaq is currently...PeACe
how is that not credible? Its a true statement, is it not? your are an idiot man....and I never once said Shaq is better than Kobe...in terms of carreer, yes but Kobe is a great player, just not someone I follow becuase I dont like his Cocky wanna be Jordan attitude and I dont think hes a good teamate. But that fact reamains, that Shaq is still playing and Kobe isnt....Shaq is the 3 time NBA Finals MVP and Kobe isnt....so roll that one up and smoke it, bitch.

Again...The reason I don't respect Shaq is A.)Because he talked shit about my city and me as a fan B.)He did help bring us titles, big props, but the dynasty coulda' been so much bigger, 7+ titles had he not been selfish C.)He has no work-ethic and doesn't apply himself nearly as much as he can and D.)He's an immature asshole who kisses the medias ass to get him on their side so that they can suck his dick. I know this for a fact...I was a Laker fan when he was here and I saw him at work...PeACe

What does that have to do with the argument at hand? You clearly lost, mitch, cuz we know Shaq is in the finals, but he's not even the 1st option on his team, while Kobe is pretty much the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd...Also, what you're saying has nothing to do with Shaq being a selfish person and an immature asshole...PeACe

LOL, I'm sure I wouldn't want to talk to anybody after a game like that either. Shit was disgusting. It's also hilarious seeing some of these Lakers stans act like they don't hate Shaq with a passion. I know you guys are loyal to your team but I swear some of you get more pleasure out of seeing Shaq lose than Kobe win. We$t Coa$t seems like the only rational Laker fan on here.
I don't have an NBA team that is my favorite, as my home town didn't have an NBA team. I don't have a favorite player, I apprecatie lots of different players and lots of different teams. I'll say with complete honesty that I had zero interest in watching a Lakers game this year, because one man basketball isn't that interesting to watch. I don't give a fuck about someone being dunked on, or a cool crossover. However, I did watch the Lakers / Suns series (as I watch as much NBA playoffs as possible) and Kobe actually decided to play team ball, they were actually a fun team to watch. Kobe made some incredible clutch plays, his teammates were involved and it was good quality basketball.
Laker fans have tons of history to be proud of, but for some reason there are some on here seem really insecure if you say ANYTHING negative about Lakers. It borders on bitch behavior.

You don't understand anything. Shaq is the ultimate Laker villain. He hates our organization, his number one reason he wants to win a title is for his "vindication" of leaving the Lakers and talking all the shit he's been talking, being the biggest reason the media is anti-Kobe etc...He tried destroying the franchise and talks shit 'til this day...How can you not understand why we don't like dude?
-
I think what Jrome is tryin to say is just don't worry about Shaq
I'll admit when that shit happened a few years ago I didn't like Shaq for the shit he said
but I didn't really take it to heart, I knew he was just bein a baby about the situation, that's it
it was apparent that the city of LA chose Kobe or him, so he was pissed about it, but can u blame them?
we're lookin out for the franchise, not for some dudes wallet
but Shaq seems like he's almost hittin the curb, not tryin to kick him when he's down
let his actions speak for themselves, with his Finals play it's becoming more apparent that the Lakers made the right decision
I can understand being mad at Shaq for fuckin up the dynasty with more money, but it's Kobe's fault too
the fact that they are both fuckin morons and couldn't come to make it work shows that they are both to blame
just forget about Shaq and let the Kobe bashers bash, no ones opinion will be swayed, no matter what facts are presented, which is sad

Never said I don't understand it. I do understand that you guys hate the guy with a passion. And there's no doubt you're more informed about that particular situation than I am. My point was that several Laker fans on here are EXTREMELY sensitive to any comment short of "Kobe is God".

I agree, but I don't think they are both fuckin' morons...When Phil asked Kobe to adjust his game and become a playmaker to have the offense run through Shaq, he did it with no questions and the Lakers won 3 championships...When Phil said it's time to run the offense through Kobe, Shaq got jealous, bitched, and whined until he got his way. They actually went back to running the offense through Shaq in 2003, because he was angry that the offense was running through Kobe and couldn't stand it...His immaturity and selfishness is the reason for the Lakers break-up...I don't believe I'm anywhere near a hater, it is what it is and it's how I see it...I can't forget about Shaq when he's still in the media talking the same old shit about my team and players...PeACe
-
damn thats fucked up that he got fined for not giving an interview.

It's part of their job. They sign on for it BEFORE hand, it's not like they don't know they have a press-conference to attend after every big game. He's already getting paid 80 million through 2010 when he's worth a lot less...If there was no rule, almost no one would give interviews...PeACe

ya I'll give ya that, very true

The beef is over why can't anyone get over that, I haven't heard Shaq say anything lately plus he made up with Kobe, that shit was in the past, time to get over it

He was on ESPN talking shit again about Kobe just recently...Even talking shit in his latest song "Can't Stop The Reign 2006"...He didn't "make-up" with Kobe, he's fake...PeACe

maybe the tension between those 2 is over, but the "beef" itself will never be over becuase of the fans. as long as assholes like you are going around giving shaq all the glory & trying to discredit kobe, lakers fans are gonna stand up and tell the real.

What have I ever discredited Kobe with, he's the best in the league, yeah I say Shaq was the 3-time MVP cuz it's a fact, yes i'm grateful to Kobe for the three championships, Shaq has been my favorite player since he came into the league so it's obvious i'm gonna praise him, and I never once dissed Kobe, your the asshole for calling me an asshole and makin' up fake stories about me
