Does anyone know what martial arts are combined with kung-fu to form the deadly fighting style known shaq-fu. ? And could it withstand my tiger claw ?

Here's the link he's looking for:
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/o ... 2335.story

Here's the quote in that Sentinel story:
While everyone else has beamed over the emergence of Orlando's young Dwight Howard, who donned the Superman cape to win the Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend, O'Neal bristled at the thought of anyone upstaging him. Even in the twilight of his career, he deems no one else worthy just yet.

"Superman is still mine," O'Neal said definitively last week. "He [Howard] has to do something first to be called Superman. Anyone can win a slam-dunk contest. The real Superman is dead. He was assassinated by Pat Riley [in Miami]. I'm the Big Cactus now, and ready to roll again."

I was wondering how long it was going to take Shaq to say something about that. He's had that Superman logo since he played here. I figured that had something to do with why he's been talking up Amare all the time -- plus the fact that he's his Suns teammate now.

He's just saying this now, because he plays with Amare.

It's simple; whichever sidekick (or in this instance sidekicks) Shaq plays with, he tries to hype them up like crazy. Shaq's always great for quotes, but you really can't put much stock into what he says.

Funny thing is that he (shaq) tried so hard to give himself that nick but it never caught on, he went as far as making the godawful movie Steel but still didn't merit getting called superman. Dwight on the other hand did something that made the media and fans call him Superman and it's rubbing shaq thae wrong way. For once in your life shaq just STFU!

And FYI, I'm the real Superman!!!

There's a difference between insisting people call you Superman and being called it.

Shaq, I have never had a conversation with anyone where they've called you "Superman" just for your information if you happen to be reading this.

Dwight is Superman, end of story. Shaq, you're old.

Thank you for your time.

LOL.

That's true. Shaq has tried to suck up every moniker available during his career, I think. He's even created a whole industry of his own nicknames. The fact that he never settled on one maybe hurt his chances of holding on to many of them.

yea i never thought of that, but Shaq was never called Superman out of the blue. Dwight HAS earned it, more so than Shaq ever did. (i'm not saying Shaq didn't earn the nickname either, but Shaq gave it to himself, others gave it to Dwight).

The Big Cactus?
...or The Big Prick?

Nah, I still love Shaq. He just likes to talk crap and fill columns.

Someone has started a thread on the general discussion board asking which is the real Superman.

Shaq's nickname should be the "Big Turd"...its more descriptive of his body type, and it also works cause everyone knows he's full of shiiat.

The Diesel fit him better anyone. I love the guy, and The Big Cactus just cracks me up. Shaq will keep doing what he's doing and I always enjoy the show.

I think he is referring to how he is a big stiff/prick now.

Brian Hill said Shaq had the biggest cactus he'd ever seen.

Shaqs old and washed up...He should just quit while hes ahead

He always has something against Dwight sayin he should earn this and that and know saying hes not superman

NEWS FLASH Shaq...Dwight is a top 5 player in the league and hes earned everything that hes accomplished...He earned to right to start in an all-star game, probably 1st all nba, dunk contest...So i think hes more than qualified to call himself whatever he wants
