I’m not a big basketball fan, but I really hate all the fawning compliments given to Shaquille O’Neal. Yeah, he’s huge, that goes without saying. So because of his size he doesn’t need much of a vertical leap to swat shots away and rebound. Offensively, it doesn’t take all that much skill to walk up to the basket and dunk it when you’re as tall as he is. And his free throws? C’mon now, I suck and I can do better than that. Finally, someone else is willing to come out and tell it like it is: Shaq’s “skillz are wack.” Now beyond any name-calling, this reporter has some well-written arguments listing why any other NBA player would not be able to last in the league as long as Shaq has.
