Shaq has been notorious for calling out players in the past. Mostly teammates of his that he can't get along with. Is it weird that he is always the one blaming someone else? His new book sheds a lot of light apparently on how much he likes to wine and complain. He first called out Kobe, now it's LeBron's turn.
"Our coach, Mike Brown, was a nice guy, but he had to live on edge because nobody was supposed to be confrontational with LeBron. Nobody wanted him to leave Cleveland, so he was allowed to do whatever he wanted to do."
"I remember one day in a film session LeBron didn't get back on defense after a missed shot. Mike Brown didn't say anything about it. He went to the next clip and it was Mo Williams not getting back and Mike was saying, "Yo, Mo, we can't have that. You've got to hustle a little more." So Delonte West is sitting there and he's seen enough and he stands up and says, "Hold up, now. You can't be pussyfooting around like that. Everyone has to be accountable for what they do, not just some us." Mike Brown said, "I know, Delonte. I know." Mike knew Delonte was right."
The he goes on to say
"There's no question in Game 5 LeBron was kind of out of it. … I always
believed he could turn it on at any moment, but for some reason he
didn't. Not against the Celtics in 2010 and not against the Mavericks in
2011. It was weird. It's one thing to be a passer, but you are supposed
to be the One. I'm watching him play against Dallas, and they're
swinging the ball and they get him a perfect open look — and he's
kicking it to Mario Chalmers. Makes no sense."
I get that ever person should be accountable for not getting back on defense, but bro you could have told the coach that yourself, but you never get back on defense. Shaq has turned into someone that just points fingers and wines. Your one of the best centers ever, but your also the biggest baby ever. Not really sure how you can call out the two best players you have ever played with. I'm sure Shaq got just as many "free passes" while he was playing in his prime.
PS. I do agree with the second quote, LeBron should be taking every clutch shot but passes up like a woman.
Oh yea and he clearly can't go without calling out Dwight Howard.
