Shaq Attacks Kobe: You Ruined My Marriage

Shaq Attacks Kobe: You Ruined My Marriage!

Shaquille O'Neal took the mic at a NYC club last night, unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant -- blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to "Tell me how my ass tastes." After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, "I'm a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced." The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he "Should have done what Shaq does ... Shaq would pay his women not to say anything." The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident. Calls to Kobe's reps were not returned.

Shaq Attaq!

As a resident of Phoenix, I think there's defintely an exciting vibe going in the air of professional sports. I'll give you a hint: it's 7 foot 1 inches tall and has three consecutive NBA titles.

Shaquille O'Neal is certainly all the hype here in the Valley of the Sun. Here's a link to an article straight from www.suns.com. It's about the Top 10 Reasons why the SHAQ trade will work.

Suns Acquire Shaq

Let's face it. Phoenix isn't really known for being a consistent league championship city for professional sports. I'm not counting NL championships or Division championships or Conference championships. I'm talking about Super Bowl Championship, World Series Champions, League Championship - the best in their sport championship!

Shall we go down the list?

Phoenix Suns: none

Arizona Cardinals: 2 (1925, 1947)

Phoenix Mercury: 1 (2007)

Phoenix Coyotes: none

Arizona Diamondbacks: 1 (2001)

Okay, I'll bite my tounge. Out of my list of Phoenix acknowledged professional sports, 3 out of 5 teams have not won a championship in the last decade (or ever for that matter).

I am a huge Phoenix Suns fan. In fact, I'm typing this blog as the Suns move to a 3rd OT....

Okay, in the minute passed trying to type, Stojakovic (Hornets) just sank the last basket preventing a 3rd OT. Unbelievable.

Here lies a point, bringing in Shaquille O'Neal is a positive to the Phoenix Suns team. Here is why:

• Phoenix Suns - Run' & Gun: According to the Suns, they are going to work Shaq's 325-pound self to run with the big boys.
• Shaq's Jumpshot: Inside the paint, there's less pressure on Amarie. Guess what, Shaq can shoot too.
• He's Shaq: With the Suns' previous lineup, opponents weren't ever afraid to step into the paint. Shaq will defintely bring that inside presencse.
• Suns Chemistry: There are players on the team who were "unhappy" (Marion). There are players in the NBA who want to play with Steve Nash. I believe that there is great chemistry.
• Championship Rings: Shaq has them.
  

I say Steve Kerr made a great move and I can't wait to see Phoenix acquire another Championship team! Go Suns!
