Rasheed Wallace says no defensive game plan actually worked against prime Shaquille O’Neal because he was simply too dominant. Carmelo Anthony : What was the scouting report for guarding Shaq? Rasheed Wallace : The goal was simple. Don’t let him get a post-up dunk. Force him over his right...

Brian Shaw explains why Phil Jackson had to coach Kobe differently during the first three Lakers Championships: "Phil had no problem cussing Shaq out or getting on Shaq, but he would never say anything to Kobe early on." "So I have German Shepherds and they are protection trained.. And my dog trainer always said to me the first six to eight months that you had his puppy don't ever tell it no because what we want to do is we want this dog to be so confident that he feels like he could do everything." "The discipline part can come later on, once his confidence is at a certain point." "So he gonna chew up your house dig up your yard or whatever. You just got to deal with it let your dog do what it feels like, he's the dude, he's the man." "When we had the team meeting and I remember asking Phil how come you don't never say nothing to Kobe, I mean you always say everything to Shaq, you don't say nothing to Kobe... and he said because for this team we always need Kobe to be in attack mode." "And then that immediately made me think about what my dog trainer said about my German Shepherd needs to be in attack mode, and it was exactly what our team needed." "Shaq came from a disciplinary his father was his stepfather was military. Yes sir, no sir, and whatever you asked him to do, told him to do. He was obedient." "Kobe was that German Shepherd puppy that nobody ever said no to... He had sisters, he was the only boy, father played in the NBA, and he was the The Golden Child..." "Phil nurtured that confidence in him, at the expense of the rest of us on the team, getting the brunt of him yelling and screaming and what have you. But not saying a whole lot to Kobe.." "But we needed that, he was always in attack mode." "You talk about Phil just knowing personalities and how to kind of Coach everybody differently... Phil Jackson was the only man for that job."

Take a moment to watch this prophetic exchange between Shaq and KAT from last February. This was brutally honest advice from an NBA legend. We are now watching it manifest into being, with the Knicks en route to a championship and KAT as MVP. And doing it against the freak of nature that is Victor Wembanyama. Shaq: “At the beginning of the game, I said you were playing soft because I’ve seen you at times when you play great. And what you must understand in New York is that you need to be great for your guys to win a championship. If you guys win a championship, of course they’re gonna talk about Brunson, but it’s you and your play; you have to be dominant. You responded very, very well; you played very well. You played in the paint. That’s how you should play. You should always play.” KAT: “For sure, but what you said too is, if we win a championship, they can talk about anybody as long as we get a ring, that’s the most important thing, I don’t care. I don’t care about any of that.” Shaq: “No, but you’ve got to play great. One-two punch, and you’re part of that one-two punch.” KAT: “Hell yeah, but I wanna make sure that we all understand that the main goal here is to win. It don’t matter who gets the credit or whatever.” Shaq: “It’s not about credit. Nope, you got to play great.” KAT: “Sure, I hear you. Legend, I agree with you.” In other words, Shaq challenges KAT to toughen up and find his eye of the tiger. To drive the ball into the paint more, to stop whining about fouls and no calls and get back on defense. If he wants to win a championship, the Knicks need him to be aggressive both physically and mentally, it can’t just be Jalen Brunson. KAT pushes back. Says it doesn’t matter who gets the credit, Brunson can have all the credit. But Shaq doesn’t accept that answer. Because he knows what kind of greatness it takes to win a championship. And eventually KAT realizes he’s right.

Shaq is back with us. I’m not meant to have favorites but he has always been one of mine. The hardest part is making the right decisions for the dogs on an ongoing basis… 🏀 We fixed him initially and it took 2 months and 3 operations. Hardly any vets would take on the operation and it was a case of nearly losing him. 🌴 He recovered well. I used to love spending time with him as we had such a deep bond during his recovery at Happy Doggo 🐕 Shaq was not suitable for adoption. He’s a street dog through and through. He was a bad around other other dogs and quite old. I thought long and hard about his options 🏡 We found him his safe place to live. Some locals would look out for him and he was in no danger. He had shelter, regular food and 2 other friends he knew. Shaq loved it there. 💊 I would call down to him every month with his meds and for a check up with some sausages. He has been doing great. ☔️ Recently with very damp weather and humid temperatures a lot of dogs have been getting skin issues. Shaq has some of the worst I’ve seen despite being ok 2 weeks ago when I last saw him. 🦠 Shaq has a bacterial and fungal infection. 🧑🏽‍⚕️ We’ve brought him in for a 2 week stay to get it all fixed up and all his blood work and other little bits fixed. It’s like a spa break for him. People were messaging me asking if I was angry he ended up like this. Not at all. Shaq is a street dog who has a great life but he just needs some medicines and care now. Just like any pet or other dog we look after. I always told Shaq we’d look after him no matter what so it’s nice to have him back for a little bit of pampering.

I asked Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison four questions today at his end-of-season press conference: Me: “You said me and Coach Kidd are aligned, you know the player(s) that he likes. But when it comes to a trade of this magnitude, it’s the main player that led y’all to the finals last season, so I wanted to ask you, what did that conversation look like at the 11th hour when you told him that y’all would be trading Luka Doncic, and do you think it was fair to him to have y’all’s entire team to be built around Luka, and then in the middle of the season him having to pivot to a completely different player to try to make the title run again?” Harrison: “I think there’s some difficulties anytime when you do a trade that big during the middle of the season. We saw it when we traded for Kyrie a couple years ago. Sometimes trades take a little longer to really see how good a trade it was. But I also know his connectivity to Anthony Davis. He won a championship with him with the Lakers. I know his admiration for him as a defensive player, and so I wasn’t worried about that.” Me: “What did y’all’s conversation look like when you let him know?” Harrison: “It was really brief. I just told him the reasoning behind it and let him know, and he understood and he got geared up to start white boarding to get ready to see how we would play with Anthony Davis.” Me: “Do you feel like he agreed with those reasons?” Harrison: “I don’t think it’s about agreeing, but he aligns with how I think in terms of defense wins championships. That’s how he feels. He also aligns with the philosophy of versatile style of play. And so it really wasn’t about agreeing or disagreeing, it was about ‘I see the vision, let’s go.’” Me: “Defense is one thing that’s been talked about so many times when you’re referring to this trade. With you trading Luka, in a way you’re betting on Anthony Davis to help you guys but it’s also you thinking AD would help more than Doncic did. Outside of defense, why are you betting against Luka Doncic not being able to bring y’all a title when he was here?” Harrison: “It’s more about AD…I’m not going to bet against Luka or speak negatively towards him. He’s not here anymore. But it’s the belief that I have in the guys that are in this locker room.”
