Check My Resume? (http://dimemag.com/smack.asp)
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...:grumpy:
-
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.

hahah yeah thats pretty bad... but damn did you hear about that guy named kobe? he cheated on his wife and accused of rape? thats freakin crazy
LMAO hahah just fuckin with ya... ;)
-
I wouldn't shoot underhand either. But Shaq is an idiot for that comment.
-
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"... :-\
-
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...

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 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

Shaq should start hangin out with T.O. ;D

damn, 90%

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

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.

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

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?
-
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

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
-
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

My side? Are you fucking retarded? My side was that Shaq made a tasteless comment about a legend for no reason. if I was Ricky Barry, I would now hate the person who Shaq is...That's the only point I was making in this thread, along with the fact that Shaq is a terrible free throw shooter, and everything I have said has been right. :-*

if you defend your side you're makinga big deal out of it as well. i CAN picture kobe saying that, but behind closed doors , now which is worse it depends on your possition. i think if you're going to say something and mean it, say it loud and proud, don't go out in the media and give some bullshit (what everyone expects you to say) and then turn around and say or act how you truely feel. kobe does, did, and will do this til he's dead. Jordan is a southern gentleman, if he had a problem with someone particularly a legend he'd give them props but then shoot them down kindly (he did that THROUGH OUT all of his championship runs). Barkley is another one of my favorite players, and i can see him doing the same thing as shaq, i think he'd take it a step further, actually, but would he be justified....no, i don't think barkley could get away with saying something like that because 1, he's never won a champion, 2 his resume isn't AS crisp as barry's, barkley is the better player no doubt but like i said barkley's resume isn't as strong to get away with a coment like that, Shaq's is. Moses Malone could say that, Karl Malone could say that (when he couldn't hit ft's) , Wilt Chamberlin could say that, Kareem abdul jabar could say that, Tim duncan could say it, ect. again, no one in the media cares about these comments , it's not sending shock waves within the basketball community, and it's not in the papers. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL! like i said the only people who care about this are you , a few bitter laker fans, and probably rick barry's mom lol.

See, you don't get it, it's not about who COULD say that, it's about who WOULD say that, and the bottom line is that only Shaq (and probably Charles Barkley) would have enough bitch in them to make a comment like that, cuz only some loud-mouth punks like them would feel okay with saying tasteless shit like that...PeACe
-
I'm far from a Shaq hater, but Shaq's comments were straight up disrespectful, there's no way around that.
