Here's to you Shaq

Shaquille O'Neal finally retired last week (June 1st announcement, June 3rd press conference), and will go down as one of the greatest big men to ever have played. A carpetbagger of sorts at the end (last 4 seasons). Going from town to town chasing another title. Did he ever play to his full potential? Was he the best center to play in the NBA? Let the sports historians decide. He was awesome. He entertained. And yes, he was dominate. 

Great Expectations

The "Big 3" in South Beach have painted themselves into a corner, and try to cry foul when the fans and media say their not living up to expectations. When you have an hour long "Decision", and self-aggrandzing pep rallies for three players what do you expect. I can envision this three headed beast becoming a real threat down the road, but the burden and weight of their own words will always be on their backs.
