If someone involved in the game of basketball ever bad mouths Shaq in any way, he better run and hide behind the goal posts on the playground, ’cause Shaq is coming with an arsenal of childish insults that have no grounds. Unfortunately, that is what Shaq has been known for in the latter part of his career: yes, he’s the funny man on the microphone, but he’s also a man who asked Kobe to, ‘Tell him how his a** tastes,’ and he called Stan Van Gundy a ‘front runner and master of panic’ just ’cause he felt like it. He may have had some sort of run-ins with Kurt Rambis and Mychal Thompson in the past, but seriously? As a man who claims to be all that and a bag of chips, why does he have to stoop to that level? It’s irritating and it’s clear that Shaq gets away with it simply because he’s Shaq. The Big Diesel joined Mason & Ireland on ESPN Radio in LA to mock Thompson and Rambis, comment on NBA players’ ignorance when it comes to supplements, and his hopes that PETA doesn’t come after him when he breaks out his winter clothing.

We heard you in an interview and your response to the worst player you ever saw was a tie between Kurt Rambis and Mychal Thompson. What didn’t you like about Thompson’s game?
“I never even really seen his game, they just told me to name some horrible players. Those were the guys that came to mind, never really waste your time and saying things as a youngster, ‘Oh, I wanna be like Mychal Thompson. Oooh, look at his baseline fadeaway. Wow. Daddy, can you teach me the Mychal Thompson fadeaway? Sure, son. Forget Kareem, let’s work on Mike’s moves. If I could be like Mike.”

What do you think of Kurt Rambis as a coach?
(Shaq makes distortion noises over the phone, hangs up and calls back). “That’s what I like about him, and if you ask me the same question again, I’ll lose another connection.”

He knows he's only this relevant by having a big mouth. Shaqzilla means in english- not funny.

Shaq? He's just dumb. I'm having a very hard time understanding why anyone sees him as being a funny, unless you happen to be into the "Tyler Perry" type of humor in which case I might understand. Other than that, I'm just not seeing it.
