Warriors' Ellis quietly putting together an All-Star season

Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal was sitting in his locker after Monday's victory over the Golden State Warriors discussing the game, and out of nowhere, O'Neal proclaimed Warriors guard Monta Ellis the seventh-best guard in the game.

 

O'Neal is known for outlandish rhetoric, so a skeptical reporter asked the well-traveled O'Neal, a self-proclaimed "student of the game," to name the six guards he places before Ellis.

 

"Kobe, LeBron, D-Wade, Roy, and one more, that cat from Sacramento, Tyreke Evans," O'Neal said.

 

Never mind that that's only five. O'Neal, after all, said he once made 1,600 minus 800 minus 200 on his SAT. So we'll cut him some slack.

 

The point is that even without Shaq's unsolicited knighting, Ellis now has arrived among the upper echelon of his contemporaries ... and very few know anything about him.
