Why Shaquille O’Neal Believes He ‘Robbed’ Celtics In Final NBA Season (via NESN)
Shaquille O’Neal had an amazing NBA career. It just didn’t end how he envisioned.
“Had the career-ending injury. Said to myself, ‘I’m old. I don’t wanna do the whole rehab thing and try to be the great Shaq player,’ ” O’Neal recalled in a recent interview with Kristine Leahy on FOX Sports 1’s “Fair Game.” “Because one thing I am with myself, I’m honest. I’m Shaq, but I’m not Shaq . Shaq is not Shaq when he’s averaging seven, eight, nine points . That’s not Shaq. I can still entertain and do stuff to make people giggle, but that’s not Shaq. I’m robbing the people.
“I’m used to parades and banners and making people complain to the refs and making people say, ‘Oh, we’re playing against Shaq. I don’t want to play tonight.’ That’s what I want to be remembered as,” O’Neal said. “And growing up in that military family, my father said, ‘You always gotta look a man or woman in their face and be honest.’ And I felt like I was robbing them. I didn’t feel right. Doc told me when I came in, he said ‘We’re not gonna need you to do much. Just rebound.
