It was always hard to know who to believe in the whole Shaq/Kobe/Phil circus. But there's absolutely zero question, at least for me, as to the truth on this one - believe Nash, not Shaq.
Honestly, I've always given Shaq the benefit of the doubt. But this story knocks Shaq down several rungs on my respect-o-meter. What an arrogant baxter.
What's interesting is that if Nash did the show, it really would have been a competition because Nash can actually hold his own as an athlete in different sports. With Shaq, the show isn't seriously competitive, it's mostly just a joke (though Nash would have been plenty funny too). I watched part of the Shaq vs. Roethlesberger the other night and it was a total joke. Ben even beat Shaq at his own game (HORSE).
Two thumbs down for Shaq.
