Shaq: Who is Spencer Hawes?

[Cruel_Ruin]

Found this on Sactown Royalty:

Question [Scott Howard-Cooper]: Would you go to Sacramento as a backup and be a tutor to Spencer Hawes?

Answer [Shaquille O'Neal]: Who's that?

Q: Their first-round pick last year.

A: Oh, I didn't know that. That's his name? Can he play?

Q: Apparently in time.

A: In time. Spencer Hawes? No.

LMAO at Shaq. A motivated Spencer Hawes is terrifying.

Hilarious for a guy putting up 15/8/1.3bls. We have 3 big guys putting up numbers pretty close to that production (none of them are Mikki Moore of course). I think Hawes will show what he can do since he has more blocks and rebounds than Shaq already. We'll see how he answers tonight.

I'm sure Shaq knows who Spencer is. He's just being Shaq. He did the same with Kaman:

Shaq? Who is that? Isn't he that washed up fat man that thinks he can still play basketball?

[pillwenney]

Kind of a dumb question, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Shaq didn't know who Spencer is, but I hope Spencer uses this constructively as motivation. I say "constructively" because a motivated Spencer can also be really over-aggressive and impatient on the court in an effort to prove himself.
