Shaq: ‘I Could Average 27 and 10 in This League Easily’
SLAM Online — by Marcel Mutoni Shaquille O’Neal is having himself a fine season. The big fella is dropping in just under 16 points a game, snatching nearly 9 boards, and taking the more than occasional day off to rest. It’s not a bad deal. Shaq, being Shaq, believes he could be doing more. A lot more. Like, say, putting up historical numbers like he used to do in a former life. From the Arizona Republic: “I could average 27 and 10 in this league easily,” O’Neal said. ...

Fanster's Suns Community — Just as an FYI, anytime I can reference The Dark Knight...I will. Suns beat writer, Paul Coro, came out with an article today where Shaq says the Suns are still developing their style. I know for a fact that a quote from Shaq will make most fans lose their minds, freak out that the Suns aren't going to run, and look for a ledge to jump off of. I'm not one of them. Here are his quotes... "I could average 27 and 10 in this league easily," O'Neal said. "Easily. In this conference, in this league, easily. Eyes closed. I can but I've got to get ...

Shaq’s Talking About Touches
BallerBlogger.com — From Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic: “I could average 27 and 10 in this league easily,” O’Neal said. “Easily. In this conference, in this league, easily. Eyes closed. “I can but I’ve got to get the opportunities. I’m not really the first option on this team but when I get it down there, I’ll do what I do.

Worst of the Night: December 18, 2008
Basketbawful — ... : "Both Blazers big men were dull tonight -- Greg "Lumpy Addams" Oden was in foul trouble throughout and only played 17 minutes, was somewhat of a factor inside, but it was a statistical dead heat with the Vanilla Gorilla, who logged 30 minutes (J-Prizz had less points, including 3 bricks in 4 attempts from the line, but pulled down 3x as many boards). As far as Suns' bigs, Shaq played his newly-created position of point center pretty well, but Lopez was his usual self (7 minutes, one basket, one board, zero defense), and Amundson -- whom the Suns love ...

Another perspective on the recent Shaq article
Fanster's Suns Community — I thought it would be beneficial to reference another perspective regarding the recent quotes from Shaq. Brandon over at BallerBlogger wrote a great piece regarding Shaq's quotes to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic. This was the same article I wrote about in my Dark Knight-ish post yesterday as well. For the entire piece, click here. He makes some great points, especially since he's followed Shaq much closer for far longer than I have. Here are a couple quotes from the article. "Even at 36 years of age, there isn’t a ...
