Hopefully he’s ensured that we don’t remember Shaq for any of his on-court greatness, but as one of the biggest jackasses in sports history. A big, hyper-sensitive child.

If Steve Nash is defending in that situation it’s the most obvious charging call in the history of charging calls, but since Shaq is an immovable object no call was whistled.
