Shaq was plenty fast and athletic in his younger days.

As for the nickname, all I have to say is "meh". The passing of the nickname is kind of a passing of the torch between the old dominant and new dominant big man more than anything, whether Shaq likes it or not.


Yeah I know, I saw Shaq in his rookie year, but I'm saying he doesn't remind anyone of Superman speed-wise, he never did. Jordan reminds people of Superman because he was moving like the speed of light (especially during the 80s) he looked like a taller version of Iverson. And of course he could fly and hang. Shaq is such a big figure and not fast compared to guys like Iverson and Jordan. Superman is just not the image.

Id rather be batman, he's had Catwoman,Poison Ivey, Katie Holme and Nicole Kidman


Thats what makes Superman so great, he has a gay outfit, squeeky clean ungangster image yet the Superman symbol is the most recognisable icon in superhero history and also overall in society its very historical almost like a religious symbol.

Shaq can say what he wants because he was that damn good...he's still good just not that good.

shaq can shut up.

Shaq has had a great career, the third best big center of all time, but right now can he just stop being so pompous and shut his mouth and play? Thanks.
