Give me a break. Of course it's near the end of his career, he's not going to be as good as earlier. <br /><br />Was it Shaq's fault Kobe sucked from 1996-1998 and he had no other help, and hence couldn't win more titles? No.<br /><br />You'll be writing this article once Kobe is in year 2 of his new contract, struggling to score 18 ppg.Norman Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238436295918908065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021833364511301475.post-67906995537047602312010-08-06T11:05:56.279-04:002010-08-06T11:05:56.279-04:00Yeah, like so many people respected LeBron's m...Yeah, like so many people respected LeBron's move. And I can't wait for my kid to look up at me and say "Daddy, THIS is the guy you made a big deal over? THIS is the dominant big man you were talking about? Puh-lease, he can't carry Howard's jock!" That's what I want my kid to remember.<br />No one enjoyed Jordan struggling with the Wiz. No one enjoyed Emmit Smith getting barely 2 yards a carry with the Cardinals. No one enjoyed watching Armstrong finish an hour behind in the Tour de France. When athletes hang on too long it's nothing but sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895582857023093876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021833364511301475.post-49536166283875295002010-08-06T08:25:07.113-04:002010-08-06T08:25:07.113-04:00You spelled ‘Unnecessary’ wrong in the title and y...You spelled ‘Unnecessary’ wrong in the title and you contradict yourself when you say that “The window to be a pro player is so short that everyone should be able to squeeze every drop out of it.” Be respectful for his decision like how some would have respect for LeBron bookin’ it to the Miami Hate. Wouldn’t it be nice for all our kids to see Shaq play one more season? Seeing him as a role player may illustrate to all that he’s a team-player that gains respect by contributing to his capacity and not overplaying as a ball hog. He’s not interested in money, he made $20 million last year, and he has lots more. What makes you think that it’s beneath him? He’s still making more money than anyone I know with the veteran minimum. Respect his decision; he’s not Brett Farve!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180809722662353189noreply@blogger.com
