How Does Shaq not get tossed?

Anybody see that footage?? Shaq is clearly choking Jermaine O'Neal, but he doesn't
get tossed, or even a technical??


Worry not David Stern, the NBA double standard for it's stars is still alive and well....
 
If you're talking about being tossed from the game, that's hardly David Stern's doing, it's the refs. If you want to blame Stern, you'll have to wait and see if anything is done after the fact.

With that said, I've not seen the video, and am kind of curious now 🙂.

I was speaking rhetorically about the NBA having a double standard on how it treats the stars.. I realize David wasn't ref'ing the game!!!!

But he should have been ejected!!!!!



 
Superstars in the NBA have always gotten away with a lot, but IMO Shaq gets away with so much more than anyone else it's should be embarrassing to the commissioner.

CtK is partially right. He can't even shoot a jump shot or free throw, which is a big part of "basketball tallent." The only reason he can score is because he is big.

Shaq just has one over the other. You think Yao would be in the NBA if he wasn't so tall? 😕

Was this not CjK's point? He didn't say Shaq shouldn't be in the NBA, he just said he has no talent.

Same thing they said about Wilt Chamberlain .... ohh wait, are we talking points or chicks ??? Cause he did both !!!
 
My conclusion after watching the highlights yesterday night was that Shaq was just holding Jermaine back, as he wasn't struggling to breathe or appeared to be in any pain...he was just kind of leaning into Shaq's hand while glaring at Haslem. At least Shaq's learned something about fighting...I remember the last time he tried to punch someone, it looked like a 12 year old girl trying to fight. (Seriously...he was swinging his arms as to hit the other guy on TOP of the head or something...guy doesn't know how to punch)
 
He wasn't choking him he was just holding him back on his upper chest area, Jermaine O'Neil even said so. Aparently him and Shaq are actually good friends.

So how did this no-talent big guy get elected to the top 50 NBA players of all time?

There are plenty of big guys who have no talent. Shaq is not one of them.
