My 5 Least Favorite Memories of Shaquile O’Neal

1. Becoming a Boston Celtic

When it comes down to it everything on this list is pretty inconsequential but there are certain offenses for which forgiveness is extraordinarily hard to come by. Could the revolutionaries forgive Benedict Arnold? Could Caesar forgive Brutus? Can Lakers fans forgive Shaq for his Bostonian betrayal?

What upsets me isn’t just that Shaq shamelessly went to a title contender just for purposes of picking up an extra ring (jealous of Kobe much?) but he picked the most hated rival of the team upon which he built his legacy. As callous as Kobe might have seemed over the years, do you think he ever would have done that? Would Magic? Would Bird or Michael? No chance.

All in all, despite anything I might say here and any reservations I might have, when Shaq’s jersey is hung in the rafters of Staples Center next season I will be standing and applauding with everyone else, making sure the big fella gets the due he deserves. Just want to get the bad memories out of the way first.
