Yes, I threw SHAQ in there. The same Shaq that shytted on teammates and called out teammates, feuded with Kobe, went at the Kings and all other big men in the media... yeah, THAT Shaq. He's an @sshole, or was as a player. I don't think it's a coincidence that when Shaq stopped with all of the rap albums and movies and goofiness is the time frame they won those titles.
There's a reason why certain players end up with the "right team" around them. Kevin Durant had the "right team" around him in 2012, that team just came up short.
Shaq was always affable and fun though. He was never an antisocial a$$hole even when they were winning. Talking shyt about other teams, which he admitted was to ramp up interest, doesn't make you antisocial. He was still friendly with other players. As a matter of fact the only guy that you listed that wasn't all buddy buddy with the opposition was Bird.
It is a coincidence that he stopped all the rap albums and movies around the same time that Mike and all the great bigs of the time either retired or became
and every superstar but he and Kobe was stuck on an island.Durant had the right team and ran into a better team with a better player who has a similar buddy buddy personality and ran right through "right attitude" Kobe in the process.
