Photo fun: Shaq's new Suns jersey

By J.E. Skeets



Whatever you do today, don't buy Shaq's new Suns uniform for Steve Nash. That dude is downright scary on his birthday. Example: Last year, I bought him a card that read, "Getting older is a lot like basketball ... there's just a little more dribbling between the legs." I mean, cute, right? No! He almost broke my neck.

    And I hear a new Shaq belt is on the market..."The Hip Brace" but you can only get it if you have Medicare.

    With Shaq going to the west were about to see again what has continously made him one of the premiere big men in the history of round ball.Yes it is true that in miami shaq lost his drive or his desire because he felt that he had proven what was needed to be proved to win four championships in the N B A is something most players dont even imagine.Thus doing so has propelled him into conversations about elite players.I have watched the man child play ball now for almost 20 years [ includeing his three years at LSU] to say he has dwindled in skill is a major mistake.SHAQ is about to show you when hes wanted and he feels more important that he can still dominate.Im not going to fool myself and say i can see the old shaq comeing onto the court but i will say this shaq will once again be one of the beter centers in the west TRY TO STOP A HEALTHY DEISEL

    Does the NBA allow its players on the court with a walking stick?

    Everyone said Hill was too old and injury prone. Everyone said Nash is to old and he would never keep the pace up. It's the same with The Diesl, I guess people don't realize the Suns have the best trainers in the game and can get anybody in good shape. Phoenix Suns 2008 NBA champs, just keep hating. Its worked out pretty well for this team so far.

    To all the people saying Shaq is back...where have you guys been the last 2 seasons? I know old people like to move to Arizona to rejuvenate themselves but this is too much. Suns fans need to think long and hard about what they are missing in Shawn Marion. A versatile athletic player who could play 36-40 minutes a night, guard really well up to 4 positions, hit clutch shots from 3, stay out of foul trouble, and hit his free throws. They replace all of that with a guy who maybe can play 20-25 minutes a night, try to guard 1 position, brick shots from point blank range, stays constantly in foul trouble, and can't make free throws.
    Unless Shaq has a Delorian or that magic lamp from Kazaam I highly doubt he wins a fifth championship.

    Good or bad, we're all probably going to be glued to our tv sets watching the upcoming Phoenix games. Gotta give the Suns credit. They like being on the forefront trying innovative things. True, Shaq's scoring is way down this year but he's only averaging 10 shot attempts per game in 28 mpg. I trust Nash can get him the ball more than 2.5 time a quarter. And if Shaq goes
    5-12 from the foul line? A killer in fantasy but in real life he just put the other team's center in massive foul trouble and on the bench they go.

    #18, do you really think shaq is gonna be changed by the suns trainers. The thing is that he's not just old, bu he can't play the suns offense. The suns offense is a run-n-gun offense, that means shaq has to RUN down the court. He won't fit in.

    That's the best Suns jersey I have ever seen. They forgot one thing though, his 32 on the front and back. Hahah! When is the big fella going to play anyway? Sometime soon I hope, and watch, hes just going to get injured faster trying to run and gun with the Suns. Is all clear to me now... They are going to change their game plan to "Cherry Picking" offense. Teams are going to have fast break numbers all day!!!
