Reading the post-Game 1 comments of Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal, it's hard to believe he has a Master's Degree from Louisiana State University. It's also hard to believe that he calls himself The Big Aristotle.
O'Neal was telling reporters that he said he doesn't plan to change anything for Game 2 after scoring 11 points with five rebounds and five personal fouls. The five personals were a sore spot for him, and he let it be known.
"I ain't [sic] changing nothing [sic]," O'Neal said. "I've got 700 days left (on his contract), and I ain't [sic] changing a (expletive) thing. Screw that. I got four (rings) doing it my way, and I'm going to continue doing it my way."
O'Neal accused the Spurs of using their thespian skills to trick the referees into calling him for fouls, adding: "That (flopping) is some bull. Then you all write like these (expletive) guys can play. Give me a (expletive) break."
Wow, what an articulate way to express oneself. O'Neal's problem is that he comes from the Phil Jackson School of Thought when it comes to fouls. It's only a foul if he thinks it's a foul. If the officials call him for more than four in a game for any reason, then they're out to get him.
