Another excerpt from Shaq's book, this time on LeBron:

Shaquille O'Neal spent one season with LeBron James playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and talks about their time as teammates in his forthcoming autobiography.

“LeBron was a huge star,” O’Neal wrote in the autobiography. “He was as big as I was in 2000 in L.A. when I was dominating the league.

“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.

“I’m not sure if Kobe [Bryant] is going to listen to Mike Brown [now Lakers coach]. LeBron never really did.”

lol, a massive 'no shit' to all of that. Let's not pretend Shaq is easy to handle either. He's a publicity whore who would rather shoot a promo than run off some weight, but that's no longer here or there.

The Cavs organisation never backed itself on LeBrone......not from day 1. They treated him as a gift to them that they'd have to pamper to keep. C'mon lads, you know how it works in life, treat em mean and keep em keen. Not only that, but you're dealing with MULTIPLE players and nothing segrigates people quicker than double standards.

So they babied the little poof and created a monster. THey should have hounded him into becoming all he should become and instead of having some weak **** who can't finish games and is too worried about high fives, you'd have a stone cold killer who is mentally hard and can take anything.

Amazes me how some players jsut can't take criticism, harden up you 6'8 nancy boys.

I can only assume that Delonte went after LeBron's mother to teach him a lesson?

fist pump right back at ya

I think we will bring in Jerome Jordan to backup Ronny. Not that inspiring
Jordan will end up playing more than Ronny. He'll injure himself getting out of bed.

I'll just leave this here.
