All-Star weekend should have a competition to see which low bball-IQ NBA player is the smartest. I want to see Jeopardy with Javale, Meyers Leonard and Beasley.

JaVale McGee knocking Shaq out would be the highlight of my life.

Only if Shaq makes the first move and it's self-defense. I don't want JaVale to get in trouble for something beautiful.

You guys thought shaq was funny for like three seconds in 1996 and we've been paying the price ever since.

The deodorant commercial where he makes funny faces for 45 seconds has me paying the price for the deodorant being advertised. Shaq has done it again

e: I guess it's Gold Bond so Shaq didn't even make me remember the product. Shaq has not done it again

JaVale is not a dumb person. Shaq thinks the height of comedic insults is to say Lookin rear end bum rear end rear end 400 times. JaVale probably wins the battle of wits here

Lmao if you think McGee is much smarter than literally anything

I do! He's unfocused but not dumb.

Here's Shaq telling the story about how stopped being a bully back in grade school when he beat the poo poo out of some kid so bad he had a seizure and his Mom told him he shouldn't do that anymore:

Bully who can dish it out and can't take it is his personality type and you can see him fall back into that when things don't go his way.

The only thing predictable is the unpredictability, which makes some sense when, lounging at his locker on a quiet morning recently, McGee admitted: “I have extreme ADD. They tried to put me on Ritalin, but I wouldn’t do it. I just didn’t want to take it. I was young (when it was diagnosed); it was a long time ago. But, yeah, it’s definitely fun having ADD. It’s extremely fun. I’m not boring.”

Javale on a high dose of amphetamine salts is just prime Tyson Chandler. I don't blame him. ADD medication makes you into a different person, a more sober, focused person. It takes the whimsy and silliness out of life. If he can make 2m a year and not take medication, he's doing alright

That may have been the left side. The right side was when Jrue blocked someone's three, or at least contested it well enough to make it an airball.

Sorry to state the obvious, but Shaq is a loving piece of poo poo. Imagine feeling the impetus to completely ruin someone's life because you don't want to be responsible for some back pay that's probably .1% of your yearly earnings

Last time the Sixers held their #1 pick out indefinitely to the point where it seemed like a sick joke he became a guaranteed first ballot hall of famer the moment he stepped on the court. If it worked for Embiid it can work for Simmons. This is good news. Trust the Process.

It's a decent comparison. Prime Chandler probably was a bit better in the post, due to size, but couldn't defend the P+R or play help D like Noel. I'd even argue that Noel is a better player at his age.

It's a great addition for Dallas. Goons underrate him.
