Better look out - Shaq has probably already filed that one away under his
"See, it's not my fault" folder.

On that note, he's got two years left to repair his image. He isn't going
to be the Shaq of 2000-2002 again, but if he shows up in-shape, and plays
hard, I think Miami fans will give him a good send-off. I really don't
want to see him go out looking like the second coming of Mel Turpin, or
Benoit Benjamin - he has been a better player than that, even if he was a
lazy-arse most of the time.

Shaq is dealing with carma, and not just in the NBA.

Heh, heh, right...key words being "shows", "up", "in", "shape", "plays",
and "hard".
