Laws of physics and Shaq conflict, results in ejection

Well, if a week doesn't pass by without the dreaded monster on the Phoenix Suns doing something stupid it sure comes as a surprise. Shaq is known for running his mouth off at other players and coaches, but last night he mainly allowed his heavy body to do the talking. With a heated affair in a game with the Pistons old Shaqqy didn't like being beat on the defensive end so he clobbered poor Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey, who sped to the basket in the second half and never really saw the mean spirited fragrant foul coming. The Suns were leading at the time with a couple minutes to go in the second quarter. Shaq had already picked up one fragrant foul earlier and took his departure much sooner than usual. Phoenix went on to win the game, 104-86 (no thanks to the cruel 'Diesel).

I realize Steve Nash took a hard hit in this game as well from Richard Hamilton and if anyone should be mad it's the short Australian. Regardless of that Shaq has bitten off more than he can chew. His constant trash talking, mean streak, and unpromising oaths are enough for fans to dislike him yet now he wants to use the laws of physics for reasons behind his venomous fouls. Okay, the veteran Suns center needs to rethink his comments during post and pregame interviews. The following is part of the statements he made after the game last night, " The laws of physics say a body in motion stays in motion. So if you have two objects meet in the air, the smaller object is going to fall much harder."

My rebuttal to such remarks is, "No s*&@ you big ass, 7-foot f---- behemoth." It sure as hell doesn't help when you throw all of your upper body weight on top on another much smaller player. I don't know how Stuckey didn't get injured after that play or even hospitalized. The incident sure looked similar to a car wreck involving a Mac truck. Of course if Shaq wasn't so damn lazy and put the effort into actual defense the face plant to the hardwood most likely wouldn't have occurred. So much for that idea because Shaq doesn't have the stamina anymore and wants to make excuses for abusing people on the court.

Concerning the laws of motion it's like this: If a bus going 40-50 mph hits a human being such impact usually kills the person. With Shaq the same results may apply if he falls on top of anyone or runs at a player full speed with his arms extended. I swear if I played against Shaq there would be no drives to the bucket or any shots near the low post, forget about it. That lumbering bully would be forced to contest my jump shots or choose to cherry pick. With this season probably Shaq's final year the rest of the NBA will be glad to see him go with his bruising hits.
