 Bill Walton, Shaq Exchange Slaps
I believe this qualifies as our second manufactured, somewhat embarrassing media-vs-player fight in recent times, following the Terrell Owens-Keyshawn Johnson spat. (Funny, same network involved. Hmmmm...) Luckily, Shaquille O'Neal rescues this tete a tete with ESPN commentator Bill Walton by quoting a little-known regulation from the Big Man Code. [link]

Bill Walton Takes Shaq to Task
Published 2/13/2008 by Larry Brown at Larry Brown Sports
... I remember watching Walton’s criticism of Shaq air on ESPN Sunday. I thought it was harsh and poignant, and most of all, accurate. I didn’t think much of it at the time because I was in agreement with Walton’s assessment. Well, come to find that Walton’s comments have created somewhat of a stir that resulted in a response from Shaq. Thankfully Tom Ziller posted the video at FanHouse (via ...

Shaq Daddy will smack yo ass down if you dare cross him!

I mean seriously. I don’t think that ANYONE thought that when the Suns acquired Shaq last week that he would already have the impact he has had on Phoenix without even playing in a game yet. He really is a lot funnier, witter and more lively than I ever thought. Enjoy… [AOL FanHouse via YardBarker] ...

THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS A SHOW

... who think." But, as we may or may not learn when Shaq takes the court with the Suns, it's best not to count the Big Aristotle out of any contest.  His retort isn't necessarily spirited or even rational, but I certainly enjoy his citation of Big Man Pecking Order Code Ordinance 2257.   Not to be confused with Ordinance 2258, which rules that Ralph Sampson may not sleep with a woman until Wilt Chamberlain has turned her down or had sex with her.

Bill Walton and Shaquille O'Neal exchange zingers

I'm a little torn on this one. On the one hand, Bill Walton sort of has a point. (Whoa, that felt weird to type.) Are we really supposed to believe that Shaquille O’Neal is all of a sudden healthy and ready to lead a team to a title just ...

Shaq responds to Walton, "would like a little respect"
Not everyone liked the blockbuster trade that brought Shaquille O'Neal to the Phoenix Suns — especially Hall of Fame center Bill Walton. "If this works out for Shaquille O'Neal, this will be a terrible indictment of him because he was doing absolutely nothing, saying he couldn't play at all, now he's saying he's going to win a championship?" Walton said on ESPN. "What's up ...
Shaq Takes Shot at Mr Acidtrip
I remember catching one of the new ESPN segments where Bill Walton and Screamin A Smith talk back and forth about the current state of the NBA and sometimes actually agree with one another. It’s no secret among my friends, I’m a huge Bill Walton fan. Face it, the guy is a character still stuck in the 60’s. He speaks his mind, makes up words and always seems to be ...
Shaq swings back at Walton

Shaq Would Like Respect from Bill Walton, Takes Shot at Creator of Atari
From the East Valley Tribune, by Jerry Brown: “(Walton) being disrespectful to me is like me being disrespectful to Bill Russell. (Walton) has one and half, maybe two championships. I have four. I’ve been (to the NBA Finals) six times. He criticized me for being injured … he only had two full seasons in his entire career. One thing I hate in life is a hypocrite – I hate them, despise them. ...
Bill Walton vs Shaquille O'Neal: Who You Got?
It's hard to believe these two pretend philosophers/quote machines have never gone at it before, but it was worth the wait. Shaq wins in terms of making his point, and calling out Walton's hypocritical ways, but the Big Red-Head delivers a killer line. "Shaq's arrogance is an insult to people who think." Oh snap. Who's side are you on here? You're allowed to ...
Shaquille O'Neal Trapped in a Double-Team of His Own Making
"Shaquille O'Neal's arrogance is an insult to people who think." That amazingly honest public statement was made by Bill Walton Sunday on ESPN's Sportscenter. The show's host Chris McKendry - understandably - laughed uncomfortably and tried to verbally wiggle out of and around that damning comment. I've had conversations with people recently about O'Neal and the stunning similarity in his ...
Bill Walton vs Shaq: What should the show be named?
Ok so apparently Bill Walton doesn’t like the Shaquille O’neal deal to the Suns. On ESPN last weekend, he made that very clear and he also happened to be pretty critical of Shaq’s confidence. Well this displeased Shaq who happens to be on my short list of people I don’t want to piss off. The other people are on this list are Ron Artest and Lorena Bobbitt. Here is ...
Walton Vs. Shaq
Former self proclaimed "Celtics great" Bill Walton (who our blogger Mike does a great impersonation of) has just ripped Shaq on ESPN and he has responded in typical Shaq fashion, a humorous way. In case you don't know what Shaq was talking about when he mentioned former Utah Jazz Center Greg Ostertag. In 1997 Shaq slapped Ostertag in pre game warm ups, hard ...
Round One: Shaq versus Walton
I missed this on Sunday morning, but apparently Bill Walton called out Shaq Diesel on Sports Center in a piece with Chris McKendry. Walton said that the trade is a "no win situation" for the center because he either lied in Miami by saying he couldn't play or he lied to the Suns by saying he would win a Championship. Seems like a stretch, but here's the video. Let's play the feud! Great ...
