“Put somebody on their (expletive) back,” O’Neal said. “Don’t let nobody oopsey-doopsey layup on you, then be laughing at you. You ever see me get dunked on? No. Because I put (expletives) on their back. Period.

“That’s what I told him. If he’s going to be a big man, be a big man. Don’t be out there (expletive) around. Lay somebody on their (expletive) back. Wilt (Chamberlain) told me that. Bill Russell told me that. Hakeem (Olajuwon) told me that. All the great big men told me that.

“You lay someone on their (expletive) back. That’s what I told him. I don’t give a (expletive) who likes it. As a big man, that’s what you’ve got to do. Can’t let people do oopsey-doopsey layups on you, laugh at you.

“Do something. Either block it or lay them on their back. Period. That’s what you’ve got to do as a big man. Don’t flop. Lay them on their (expletive) back. That’s what I was taught and that’s what I’m trying to teach him, instead of being out there like a (expletive) loose tree, blowing in the wind.”

The writer also got another thing right. Lopez was a crap pick at 15. He wasn't even that good in college. He wasn't a star, nor was he even a starter, the guy came off the bench.

Lopez is a guy that averaged 7-5 in the Pac-10 playing against 6'9 centers, why Kerr took him at #15 and passed over guys with all-star potential like Speights, Jordan and Mcgee is a headscratcher...

It wouldn't be surprising if Kerr drafts either Chase Budinger or Tyler Hansbrough this summer because those seem like his type of guys along with Tucker, Lopez, etc...

I am not the biggest shaq fan even when he was a laker but the man does have a way with words.

"That’s what I was taught and that’s what I’m trying to teach him, instead of being out there like a (expletive) loose tree, blowing in the wind.”



LOL

I agree. Kerr made a horrible decision. Lopez was never a good fit to begin with. His skillset is lacking, low basketball IQ, defensive technique is aweful, slow lateral movement, and he always looks lost on the court. What was he thinking drafting a project when we're still trying to compete right away?
