Shaquille O'Neal and the Cleveland Cavaliers were defeated by the Orlando Magic 101-95 yesterday and O'Neal gave no sound bites. Well not any derisive ones at least. In fact after banging in the paint with Magic Center Dwight Howard, O'Neal was almost complimentary to his counterpart.
"Dwight is one of the only true big men left," said O'Neal. "I'm sure he doesn't mind a bit of physicality. I darn sure don't. Two big, strong guys. Old ball, young ball going at it. Fun game to watch."
It was nice to see that personable Shaq on display. It is good to see that he is not too old to switch his tracks once in a while. And just a week ago The D-train Daily penalized him for unnecessary verbal roughness.
Or is O'Neal setting Howard up with some "rope-a-dope" with the playoffs on the distant horizon? Or are we not seeing this deep enough? Could it be that Shaq has decided to be... Bizarro?!
