Shaq, “A Ring for the King, Baby!”
Lebron's New Bodyguard
Blogging about the Cavs this coming season might even be more entertaining than watching the games. Now that they have another huge personality with the team we should expect quotes (from the upcoming SI Magazine) like this for at least another year.
“Here’s my motivational slogan for next season,” said Shaquille O’Neal last Saturday by phone from his home in Orlando. “A ring for the King. He wants one, and I want another one. A ring for the King, baby!”
“Everybody is going to say, ‘Whose team is it?’ “said O’Neal, two days after the Cavaliers acquired him from the Suns for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, a second-round pick and $500,000. I want you to print that in double-black-bold print. It’s his team. He’s the King, and the Cavs have hired a known hit-man bodyguard. My job is to protect him.”
This is exactly what I want to hear from The Big Diesel. He knows that this is Lebron’s team and he’s perfectly ok with that.
