Why is everyone shytting on Shaq's agent? That Cac did his fukking job and got Shaq ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS and Shaq went onto get multi0le championships. Y'all act like he stole from him or did him dirty but Shaq said repeatedly that once he saw Alonzo Mouning get paid then he wasn't gonna take less than 100 Millie. Both Shaq and his agent were the smart ones in this situation.

TYRONE GA!
You talking about present day? Jerry was on the Russillo & Kanell show the other day and immediately shot the idea down when Russillo asked him if he'd go back to LA if they expressed interest. "They wouldn't want me back there" were his words

That relationship has to be repaired. No way logo shouldn't be part of the front office. shyt is asinine.

In my opinion, it they wouldn't have been as effective as Kobe/Shaq. Shaq in Orlando wasn't the same as LA Shaq. Orlando Shaq didn't really have the soft touch, the jump hook and the other intangibles that he developed in LA. He was only a force that dunked on people. And Penny's drop was once they took the ball out of his hands as much, making him a 2. With his knees going to hell, he could've still been dominant as the PG, from the post. They turned him into just-another-player.

I will say this though: Orlando DID offer him in the end higher numbers than LA and recall on the day or the night before Sportscenter reporting 123 million (He signed for 121) and I think in the documentary that moment when he John and Pat met Leonard at the Atlanta volleyball practice they all knew Shaq had taken the LA deal. Whether or not that was Armato then cutting off any communication with the Orlando party when Shaq was still holding out or not is pure speculation but I also recall Shaq's mom saying she wanted him to stay in Orlando and like the doc showed neither of his parents them were at the press conference or during the negotiations.

That's not to say he cant be his own man but I think there's always been a feeling he was closed out in the situation and he seems to weirdly all of a sudden allude nowadays he would have second guessed it. I Personally still dont buy that, I think he always wanted to give LA a go and when he saw they had Eddie and Nick Van Exel plus pieces he was like cool. I dont think it was about $100 million since both bargained up pass that point and neither went to $150 million like he wanted.

:mjcry: What a great documentary. That shyt was my childhood. I remember I had Penny jersey ans my friend got Shaq jersey so we played together against other people at basketball park.

Nick just :wow:

Free-throw line was :demonic:

He was so shocked and :damn: , :whoa: at the free-throw

:snoop: at the owner/front office and the fans fukked up with whole Shaq. :russ: at Charles Barkley.

Penny deserves to have a ring, at a least one bro :mjcry:

I love Penny's first shoe :noah: I wanna buy again.

Forgot about Shaq's commercial :ohhh:
