Walton vs. Shaq: Breaking the "Big Man Code"

    I've been waiting for someone to mention it, and the last person I thought I'd completely agree with is Bill Walton. Just like Pau Gasol's chronic back injury that has mysteriously gone away and is apparently no longer an issue, I find it rather dubious that all of a sudden O'Neal is ready to lead a team to a title.

      What, you don't buy the assertion that the Phoenix medical staff is light years ahead of the rest of the league?  Or that there's healing juju in the land of the sun?

Shaq Takes Shot at Mr Acidtrip
SporTech Matter — 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 in the best mood. I’m pretty sure you can take a crap in his lunch and he still will smile, making light of the situation. Most recently, Walton called out Shaq exclaiming that if this ...

Bill Walton vs Shaquille O'Neal: Who You Got?
FanIQ Blog — 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 say their both idiots and choose Marisa Miller's side.

Shaq at the Top of His Game
Cobra Brigade — Shaq's basketball skills may have deteriorated but his interview skills certainly have not. Two things about this video....1) it's hilarious. If you don't find Shaq funny, you're dumb. 2) Don't people realize that Shaq is just looking for reasons to be pissed off? If you don't want the Suns to win the NBA Title.....stop talking about him. Just ignore him and hope he falls asleep.

Article Ordinance 2257
SportSayers.com — With the latest trade of Shaq to the Suns, it appears that Mr. Bill “Jealous” Walton has a few complaints about the Big Aristotle. Apparently, Walton doesn’t appreciate the fact that Shaq couldn’t play with the Heat, but with a playoff contender, the Big Man can now step out on the court and begin to practice. But who could blame Shaq? I mean I don’t want to play with someone who has lost 23 out of its last 24 games. I would play hurt too. Anyways, back to crybaby Walton. I think Mr. Walton has what they call the Father Jealousy Complex. After the trade of Pau Gasol to the Lakers, Bill fears that his ...

Three Idiots on Sports — One thing the now settled writer's strike has confirmed, there IS such a thing as too much reality TV. Now, as we anxiously await the return of shows like the Office, we are at the end of our collective ropes with the current crap that's on TV. America has reached the tipping point with these shows, and there's only way to save them ...

Bill Walton, Shaq Exchange Slaps
sports.aol.com 2/13/2008 — 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.

Shaq vs. Bill WaltonFrom Courtside
I’m not too sure about Big Man Code 2257, but whatever it entails, Bill Walton broke it. Shaq is one of the most respected and well-liked players in the NBA and its very rare to hear someone scrutinize him at that level. There is no doubt; the Big Fella has a lot to prove. (Assist: Fanhouse)
