Shaq’s First Start for Phoenix Versus the Mavs
By Daniel Dessinger | February 13, 2008
Shaq’s first appearance as a Phoenix Sun may take place on Thursday against the Mavericks. Check ESPN.com for more details on the story.
According to Shaq, he’s in “great human shape… I’ve just got to get into basketball shape.” Shaq hasn’t played in a month and a half since his hip surgery, and is still rehabbing to get into competitive physical condition. Coach D’Antoni said it’s possible that Shaq will be ready to face the Mavs tomorrow. My guess is that they’ll wait until the Suns face the Lakers next week so Shaq’s big unveiling can be against Kobe (just when the Christmas Day rivalry had finally died! Sigh!).
So keep your fingers crossed, Mavs fans, but don’t get your hopes up too high. You know the NBA is all about that dolla bill, and Shaq vs. Kobe sells more than just about any other matchup (even though they never cover each other).
Honestly, I’m stilling sitting here wondering why we don’t have Gasol on OUR team. Damp who?!?!? Puhleeze! I don’t even acknowledge his presence any more.
