Shaq just said his Magic team had 17 days off before the '95 Finals

[1987_Lakers]

I looked it up and they only had 2 days off.:facepalm

[DuMa]

Yeah i was like wtf 17 days? thats damn 2+ weeks. And he said that was the main reason why they lost because they were 'rusty' Shaq is a huge dumbass

[Tarik One]

I was about to make the exact same thread, but instead posted in the LAL/OKC thread. :oldlol:

He's so full of sht.

Plus his team beat the Bulls in the SECOND ROUND, not the conference finals. They beat the Pacers for the conference championship

How could his team have been rusty if they jumped out to a 20 point lead in game ONE of the Finals (before choking it away)? :biggums:

Shaq should keep his mouth muted on things he clearly knows nothing about

[xhuegox]

wtf wow

They need to replace Shaq w/ Webber but also have Webber do play by play... I guess what I'm saying is that they need two Webbers.

17 days off when their ECF matchup with Indy went 7 games?

[bdreason]

He must have been referencing the year the Lakers swept the playoffs. That's the only way they would have had a long break. Doubt it was 17 days though.

[Abd El-Krim]

I think what he actually said was that they had 17 days off before they played the Bulls and that's why they lost to Houston in the finals.

[NugzHeat3]

No, he clearly said they had 17 days off after they beat the Bulls/before the finals started when in reality they only had a couple of days off.

He's forgetting they faced the Pacers in the ECF which can only mean Shaq has a bad case of amnesia. That entire Nick Anderson situation was probably traumatic for him so it has definitely impacted his memory a bit. :oldlol:

They weren't rusty either, not when you establish a huge lead early on in the game.

[Shepseskaf]

Anyone have a link for this? Not doubting for a second that Shaq is a lying dumb@ss, tho.

[The Macho Man]

Shaq has a terrible recollection of his career. Thinks he won a ring the year Fisher hit the .4 shot (04) has mentioned it a few times recently.

You may be right, he always sounds like he's having a stroke and I can't understand shit.

[Shepseskaf]

Or, he's just a liar.

[tmacattack33]

[04mzwach]

He's saying that the teams he faced in the playoffs before them were like having days off. They had 17 playoff games before the Finals. Thank you. Delete thread.

unless shaq is completely disregarding that 1995 Pacer team. if shaq meant that then LOL. Shaq can be kinda witty at times but somehow i doubt this.

[The Macho Man]

:oldlol: That'd be such a dumb thing to lie about.

I'm sure they will call him on this at halftime or on Inside.

[G-train]

Or, he's just a liar.

Or he has a poor recollection, as I have seen many great players forget how things went down years ago amongst 1000's of games, under the pressure of national tv.

Name one instance where a great player "mis-remembered" like Shaq allegedly has in this case.

time off = no real competition

edit: if i'm wrong, we'll probably see during halftime

[The Macho Man]

edit: if i'm wrong, we'll probably see during halftime

If that was his intention, which seems too clever for Shaq, why would he then say they would practice 3 days then have 2 days off?

[1987_Lakers]

I'm 100% sure he said what I think he said. Kenny even asked him what they did in practice with all of those 17 days off. I can't believe Kenny bought the BS considering he played against Shaq in that Finals, guess his memory sucks ass too.

[04mzwach]

I don't know. I tried to figure out what he meant. Hopefully he elaborates during halftime because that's confusing to me.

I just figure it's a jab. It's hard to know for sure though.

[04mzwach]

Then again, he could have just been making excuses for losing. Having no competition being one of the excuses and who else knows what he added to it that was improv.

[tmacattack33]

I thought Indiana took Orlando to 7 games? If so, there is no way Shaq would have the nerve to say that playing Indiana was like having a bye week (or two bye weeks and three days for 17 days total to be exact lol) .

[IGotACoolStory]

Honestly, who cares?

Shaq is a moron and terrible at his TNT job. We all knew this before the incorrect comment.

[vinsane01]

Maybe he was trying to be funny and failed miserably? I dont watch their show often but i got to say, i prefer the trio of kenny, charles and ej doing the show by themselves. Shaq mumbles and tries too much to be funny.

[Whoah10115]

There is nothing to dissect.




He said they had 17 days off before playing the Rockets in the Finals. He said that the rust was the only reason they lost to Houston. He also said that they'd beaten Houston every game that season, whatever that means.



That's what he said. I just thought hew was lame for making more excuses. But apparently he lied too. And I doubt he just forgot about the Pacers. The home team won every game that series.




He's an idiot.

[guy]

He exaggerates a lot. I remember when he was criticizing Howard this year he said a great big man should average 28 and 15, ignoring the fact that he never even averaged 15 rebounds a game. The other day he also said that great players should average 5-10 more ppg in the playoffs then in the RS which is really overboard and also something he never did.

yes...I was watching it, even rewinded the dvr to make sure we heard him right because I'm a Pacer fan and obviously remember us taking them to 7 games...:facepalm

Olajuwon and Clyde dominated in the series so he is still butt hurt and making up weak excuses.

[dude77]

I like how he has to add in at the beginning .. 'when we played houston in the finals .. we beat the great jordan' so not only was he making excuses for losing but he had to add in that he 'beat jordan' .. I think he's on there just to troll :lol

[inclinerator]

lol he was so confident when he said that too

[OldSchoolBBall]

Anyone have a link for this? Not doubting for a second that Shaq is a lying dumb@ss, tho.

I dont think it's that he lied so much as his memory is not very good. I remember a segment last week where he was talking about the "memorable moments" from role players during his three-peat, and he said "for my first title, Derek Fisher with the shot with .4 seconds; second title, Robert Horry with the 3 on the loose ball." Clearly, Fisher's famous .4 shot wasn't during the 3-peat, much less at the BEGINNING of it.

You're giving him too much slack. Yes, I understand that memories can be faulty for certain things... but a 17-day layoff? At least the other things you mentioned actually happened, even if the timing was off in what he said.

No one has a 17-game layoff during the playoffs. That was a clear exaggeration/lie on his part. He just made it up on the spot.

This. Everyone so quick to dump on Shaq before thinking about what he's saying. Dude is pretty likeable and he's one of the most dominant players ever. Although he can't speak well, he deserves to be on air...if you don't like him don't watch--pretty simple.

I don't think he ruins the show or anything, but he trips over his words and slurs too much. He sounds like an old fighter who's been clocked a few too many times.

If Kenny is the one I think he is, Dude almost jumped out of his chair when he heard 17 days off. :oldlol:
