SeH....forgive me for being so nitpicky...but I had two questions for you.

1. I remember you posting that nobody can equal Shaq. How is it that he doesn't find mention among your top 5 NBA players?

2. Do you have an inherent dislike for spin bowling? I see that both your current and retired lists of bowlers have only pacers in them.

My top 5 NBA players (Alltime):

His Airness

Earvin "Magic" Johnson

Yao Ming

Vince Carter

Jason Kidd

5 Characters I tend to dislike (This one is in decreasing order of dislike):

Whoever devised the water supply system for Hyderabad. Bugger makes us fill drinking water at 3am.

Pravin Togadia

The caterer in my office

Shaq O'Neill

Manoj Prabhakar

I never adored him. It was a combination of Kobe n Shaq helped Lakers all these years to my best knowledge. I am eager to look on this season how lakers perform without the mighty Phil Jackson n Shaq. I hate Kobe he got attitude dude.

He's a good player....and he can carry off that attitude...but methinks its too early for him to behave like His Airness reincarnated.

by **lizard king** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 8:16 am

i kind of disagree with both of u about Shaq, firstly, he totally deservbes the adulation he gets for the quality of player that he is, and there are nt many players in NBA (not that i know of, and its been a long time that i have nt followed any major sport except rugby), but shaqueel is a wizzard, his passes are amazing, his execution is probably the best known, and more than anything, he has something called the team spirit and gets the act together.
