Great doc
His agent was slimy and wanted la from day 1 and steered him there even after magic matched.

The real heartbreaker to me now is Nick Anderson.
Dude if I miss shots in a simple 3v3 it haunts me all week. I can't even begin to imagine the living hell Nick Anderson went through

Like seriously he missed 4 on a large stage and it just absolutely destroyed him

Watched it last night. It was really good. But was Shaq sincere in his Orlando apology to Penny at the end? Sometimes Shaq likes to be a dikkrider or just concentrate on the moment itself. It seems like he really wanted to play in Orlando and had the most fun there. Had no idea they low balled him like that. Of course he should get paid more than Zo. Hard to feel sorry for Orlando if they really low balled him like that .

Says a lot about his mental state actually been watching a lot of shyt about famous choke jobs and errors in big games. Some dudes can't take the failure and commit that:mjcry:

It's crazy tho dude really had to just hit one and couldn't. He really completely fell off basketball wise after that:to:

Great doc I wish they could of made it longer the end was definitely feeling rushed. The beginning parts were great I enjoyed that about as much as the U or Winning Time

Anybody shytting on that Webber trade forget that Webber was a surefire superstar while Penny was considered a huge unknown due to playing at a small school. Knowing how Webber's time in Golden State turned out it's easy to shyt on that trade, but in reality if Webber stayed in GS those draft picks wouldn't have been all that valuable and having that one superstar is way more valuable than the depth of some mid first round picks. Only problem was that trade turned into a worst case scenario for GS with them giving Webber a bad contract that let him force a trade and Penny turning out to be completely legit.

When Shaq gets older he may regret not staying in Orlando more then he regretted beefing with Kobe. At least they got 3 rings and reached the top of the mountain. But in LA he was just another star. If he would have stayed with Penny and they would have won some chips (and after maybe 98 no one would have stopped them I don't think) he would have reached legend status in Orlando and been treated like a God. Not to mention I don't ever remember him and Penny actually having a problem on court cause Penny was the best ever at giving him the ball at the best spot for him in the post. I think it was more cause Penny was probably the bigger celeb with the shoes and the commercials (though Shaq had a lot of his own too) and Shaq probably couldn't deal with that deep down inside. But on court their chemistry was top notch.

Yeah that was sincere. On an Open court episode last year, Shaq admitted that, in his first few years in LA, he thought he made a mistake going there. He missed the fin he had in Orlando. Shaq clearly loves the city, since he never moved from there.
