so there is a God.....

Lakers suck. Phil jackson is the most overrated fuckin coach in sports history. dude is just in the right situation at the right time and with the best players in the league. All that "zen" master bullshit is a disgrace to basketball. I bet half this board could win a championship with jordan and pippen or a 400 lb ogre that takes all his shots 2 feet away from the basket, along with kobe. Anyone with shaq's size could do the exact same thing he does without having any skill whatsoever. it's like when jim brown played and dominated lacrosse lol

go nets!

Shaq does have some skill. It doesn't take much though when you're the bully on the playground and much bigger than everyone else.

What skill does shaq have?? He is pretty solid at 2ft shots from the hoop and dunks. Not much else than that.

The basketball gurus say that he has very good footwork for such a big man. He's a better player than he was when he first came into the league. You could argue that he just overpowers people. I think he get's away with backing people down with his size and when they try to stand their ground, they get a foul called. What else can you do when a monster is backing his huge ass into you? They have to push back.

 

[calveless wonder]

yeah i always hear the commentators saying he has great footwork... of course Baby Huey does when he's taking 3-4 steps into the lane and just plowing over people. he's a living traveling violation. That's why he was nowhere near as dominant in Orlando despite his size because he never got the type of calls he does now

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

Phil is a very good if not great coach. I dunno about all the Zen master stuff and some of it sounds a bit silly but the Lakers didn't win anything untill he got there and they had arguably better talent before he arived too. The 4-peat just seems like something that's just not gonna happen again but who knows. I'm not a Lakers fan but other than Kobe and Shaq the team isn't very good at all so I give those two their credit. Kinda like A.I. and he's one little big man doing it all by himself. I wanna see Dallas win but I think San Antonio is gonna take the whole thing.
