Shaq still doesn't think highly of Chris Bosh

Back in 2009, Shaq had some less than kind words for Chris Bosh after Bosh suggested Shaq got the benefit of some kind officiating.

 

"I heard what Chris Bosh said, and that's strong words coming from the RuPaul of big men," O'Neal said. "I'm going to do the same thing (in their next meeting) I did before - make him quit. Make 'em quit and complain. It's what I do."

 

Well, they haven't exactly kissed and made up. We all know Bosh is in Miami now as part of the whatever you want to nickname them. Everyone's made a big deal about the 3 stars The Heat have on their roster. But Shaq doesn't quite see it that way.

“They got a great 1-2,” says Shaq, who disdains Chris Bosh so much he refuses to make it three. And then he started listing the Celtics, the long list of young stars and old champions fighting the fade into twilight. “Everyone is young this, young that. I’ve been in [the NBA Finals] six times in the last [16 years] years, and I haven’t seen a young team make it all the way and win it. They may look better, but they don’t do what we do.”

Not sure how credible this source is, but I think it's legit.

In a way, he's correct in saying that the 1-2 punch is great compared to Bosh...because compared to the other two superstars, he's not.

 

Now, I wouldn't call the duo great, either, and I don't use the word "great" to describe very many players...but this is just Shaq making Bosh look bad. When you look at the comment as a whole, and you consider who said it, then yeah, he's in the wrong.

Haha he's been doing it his whole career.

 

I know he has, but not at this frequency. He realizes that people aren't taking him as serious as before so the only way to stay relevant is to take shots at other players.
