Lakers/LA Miss the Big Fella

These are words I never thought I would type: I miss Shaq.


No, now don't get all worked up. Sure, the Lakers have not won a championship since he left, and he has gone of to Miami and gotten himself another ring. But that's not why I miss the "Big Ego". I miss him because of his media presence. I remember getting excited to wait for the 11 o'clock nightly news to come on back home in California. I could always count on Fred Rogin or Rob Fukazaki to relay some stupid quote that Shaq had said during practice or in an interview that was made after the game.

Now with Kobe trying to show the public what a stand up guy he is, I very rarely see any moments as entertaining as this:

I love Shaq and I love the Miami Heat! But, I do not like Kobe. I know athletes are cocky, but Kobe is just too much. He thinks he is god’s gift. And after the scandal he pulled, cheating on his wife...I just cannot make room in my heart for him. He might be a great athlete, but I don't think he is a true stand-up kind a guy!
