Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
Even though he will get less money a year....it opened up room for them to get Walker, and Williams.
Miami is going to be unstoppable next year.
Funny thing is....I don't think Shaq's body can handle five more years.
Go Lakers!

Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
It's all about security. He knows he can retire when he wants to retire, and not a day earlier.

Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
Fucking basketball players are so overpayed. Most of these guys bitch and complain all season, and they make more money than the people fighting in our military. Who needs(deserves) a better paycheck?

Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
Well, just about anybody can join the military and learn to shot a weapon, or drive a tank, or work on a ship, or direct an aircraft on the ground.
Also, the government never pays anyone more then they are worth, unless they are Politicians.
NBA players have to have skills. Damn good skills. The have to be big. They have to be able to run and jump. They have to be able to shoot very well. They have to be able to hit free throws. They have to travel a lot. they have to practice and play at odd hours an over holidays.
Cmon, give them a break, it is a tough job.

Shaq? Run hard?? I've been watching him as my Laker for 8 years. And sorry, but he does not run very hard. Shoot the ball? He does not shoot the ball. I've seen him attempt a 3 before though. Hit free throws?... ohhhhhh man. I'm sorry, but HE is getting too much.

Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
Somebody is sore because oh wait; he's not a laker anymore. Lets see how many more rings Shaq gets Vrs. Kobe in the next 5 years. Shaq might have gotten one more before he went to LA if MJ hadn't unretired himself the first time so don't say he needs Kobe to win. Probably no other GM would refuse to sign such a deal if there team was in contention for the trophy and they needed a dominant big man.

Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
joerockhead, honestly dude if you think about it that way you must be a fuckin retard man...yeah they both have to do all that, but whats more important someone training and fighting for our country putting there life on the line and not gettin paid shit for it or some ghetto fucks runnin around on a court shootin a ball in a hole and who go on the DL because they have a fuckin hangnail...AND SHAQ is a fuckin dirtbag I hate that man...ever since I watched some of his interviews I realized what an arrogant fuck he is and he aint shit..he is a dominant bigman in a time where he is the only fuckin good bigman, not much competition...and if i was half as athletic as i actually am and was 7 foot 3 inches i would run circles around that big dumb fuck

First of all joerockhead might have been sarcastic, so chill the fuck out. Second, if you don't like what these athletes get paid, then don't watch them or buy the products that advertise during their events.
If you think being a soldier is so valiant, drop your baseball glove...hang up your sneakers, and join up. For you to spew that bullshit shows your ignorance toward Shaq. If he hadn't grown to over six foot tall by the age of 12, he would have been a career military guy just like the man who raised him. Btw, Shaq isn't from the ghetto, you assclown.
I agree soldiers, cops, firemen, and teachers don't get paid enough....but I don't bitch about how much people do get paid. And I don't bitch about the taxes I pay to support these civil servants. If you feel athletes' pay is so wrong, get your fat ass off the couch and do something about it.

Re: Shaq signs for $100 million
lol wayne brady. i love you man.
jbarnes, don't accuse me of being sour because he's not a laker anymore. I've learned to cope with it quite well already. (although i think his statue still hangs in universal citywalk...) I don't hate shaq, but the reality of it all is that he's in the twilight of his career. How many more injuries can he sustain? I don't think anyone has been as injury prone as him. as for Kobe vs. Shaq... i don't know, why don't we ask everyone here? Who's going to win rings in the next 5 years?
BTW-- Lakers in the playoffs definitely this year.

I don't like what they get paid. Don't get me wrong I am an avid sports fan, but that doesn't make me believe that they should be getting paid a $100 million dollars to play a fuckin game. I contend in one of the toughest sports out there and I don't get a fuckin cent for it. Pro sports should be about the game not about how many millions of dollars a fuckhead can get for playin it.

If he hadn't grown to over six foot tall by the age of 12 he would have been a military guy, huh? Since when do you know what you are going to do by the age of fuckin 12?? I wanted to be a fuckin astronaut, a pilot, a fuckin porn star, u catchin the drift yet dipshit?? He might not be from the ghetto doesn't change the fact that he acts like an arrogant fuck and the ghetto was a generic term not specifically to Shaq...

Why not bitch about it...the money you pay in taxes is going to a worthy cause. To pay for the people that put there lives on the lines such as millitary, firemen, corrections officers, police, etc...they get paid shit while dirtbags like Darryl Strawberry and Michael Irvin make millions. Its fucked up and should be changed. Then next time u call somebody a fat ass you should really know who you are talkin about fuckface, I would do more pushups, situps, pullups and outlift you. Not to mention run circles around you and throw you on your retarded head.

You can bitch about it, but yeno what? - it's not the system, it's the fans. it's the people of american. we allow these people to reach such an importance to us, that now its pretty reasonable for them to ask for millions. It sucks, but it's marketable. Teachers aren't marketable.
I'm not saying it's right for them to be paid this much... but face it, its cuz of us. We are idiots. America is so infatuated with celebrities.
