back on topic, when do you guys think shaqs number is gonna get retired on the lakers? i mean i don't see any other team retiring his jersey, so it has to be the lakers it'll be a shame if nobody retires his number.with that said, before or after kobe? and i wonder if they retire both 8 and 24

Lakers will probably retire Shaq's jersey in the next couple years. if he wasnt such a bitch, it'd probably be the first thing on the lakers' to-do-list, but considering no one likes him in LA, they might just take they time on it.
¨^^^^^ Shaq is ranking himself number 5 behind the 4 you cited on the all time centers list
I'm almost done with the book,but either shaq is being real or he's just really persuasive, everything he's done thats being labeled "selfish, spoiled, or being a big headed ignorant superstar" has reason to it.but there are some things that i think he's just too prideful of, but he's a human, and it really expresses that.when i made this thread, i only read quotes and such, and he seemed unreasonable, but it was out of context. what he says isn't that bad considering the excuses he's giving.but than again, the way he explains his relationship with d-wade was pretty contradictory considering he could of changed his attitude with kobe during the last season and treat kobe like he did with wade.and it shows how much of a player kobe was, shaq never had to encourage kobe, but with d-wade he had the express that he needed to take over games and be dominant. i just wish they worked things out, I'm positive they would of won 6-7 championships together in total with them acquiring another young talented big man down the road to develop (giving that he has the same mentality he did at the heat) but if he would of willing to let another young big man develop like he said he would d-wade develop , we would never know given that wade played out in the peremiter and he was still the main big man. (don't wanna bring it down to a single player or what not)but a front court with shaq and bynum, i can't imagine how it would be.but he was still petty more petty than he should of been.what made me humble him was that the fact he wanted to be laker for life, but than he didn't want it enough to break his pride and talk to mitch or buss or at least have a true deep talk with kobe.shaq will forever be my favorite nba center, was my favorite player back in the day, and imo the most dominant center ever esp to get average bout 30 points per game 2 time and taking the scoring title. i don't see any big man in the league today that can accomplish it. then or now because both eras had too many guards and forwards that can put numbers up on the board. dwight will never live up to shaqs legacy and it baffles me when people do compare the two.the reason shaq isn't my fav player anymore is that kobe just mezmorises u, the shots he takes the emotion, the impossible shots, and the important clutch shots that he makes when it matters.i don't see anyone else thats in the caliber of kobe or MJ, id say magic and bird too, but I've only seen their stats and throwback games, never live so i don't feel like i have the right to rank them. only the players I've seen.
what are u talkin about?...if shaq is guna write a book, of course he's gunna tell his side of the story. if that can really persuade someone, then they haven't read the countless other books that detail different sides of shaq's bitchmade tendencies, which, knowing shaq's personality, he conveniently left out to make himself look great.
