PHOENIX -- Shaquille O'Neal says he is ready to run with the Phoenix Suns. Really.

"I'm going to be looking to get out like Randy Moss and Terrell Owens," he said Tuesday after going through his final workout before making his debut with the Suns on Wednesday night against his old team, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The prospect of the 7-foot-1, 325-pound O'Neal, at age 35, fitting in with the high-octane Suns has been ridiculed across much of the NBA.

The Lakers' Phil Jackson, O'Neal's former coach, said Shaq's role would be "taking the ball out of bounds and waiting for the other team to get back."
CLASSIC!

good quote from phil

Bring it, just sad we don't have Drew for the spectacle.

^ Seriously, this game won't be the same without Bynum. The next time Bynum will see Shaq is either in April/May or next regular season.

Is there a new rule that each traded player has to make their debut against us?

Im all for it .
Let him get his Fat A55 handed to him on a plater by his former team .
It will be sweet if we beat him without Bynum , and it will even be sweeter with Bynum in the Playoffs .

Pick and Roll on Shaq till they bench him....

Heck, I'd bring in Coby Karl just to hack-a-shaq

"O'Neal said he hasn't played with a passer as good as Nash since his days with Bryant and, before that in Orlando, Scott Skiles."

Last I heard he was ghost writing for Peter Vescey.

the Shaqtus will run out of gas in the first quater.

Shaq will run out of gas, sprain a toe, and foul out all in the first quarter.

I'm getting this "prove yall wrong" vibe...and I don't like it.

more like "I think y'all are right"

Anyone see footage of Shaq's tuesday's practice? The man ran the floor and attacked everything that moved like a machine on a mission. I think the Lakers have really pissed this machine off.

As a Lakers fan, I really want to be proven wrong when I say this but I believe Shaq is going to make a huge statement to not only the Lakers but the entire Western Conference.

When Shaq is motivated, at 29 or 35 he will do some damage. If he really wants to run then he will run, just for tomorrow perhaps but yes he will run! Moving Amare to the PF spot will do wonders for the Suns and it's up to the guys to run the pick and roll against Shaq to slow him down.

Nevertheless, I sense a rude awakening for many doubters of the Shaq trade after tomorrow's game.

Go Lakers!

I feel the same way

I hope I'm wrong.

I saw the footage, and he looked like a over weight has been, trying to relive his glory days. Just my take.
