Shaq retiring, apparently

Most offensively dominant player I have ever seen. Including Jordan.

Unless you foul him.

I can buy most "physically dominant" but not "offensively dominant".

I'll say "offensively dominant once he got the ball in his hands". That's the price you pay not being a guard.

Wasn't Chamberlain physically dominant? Being tall is a physical trait and he overshadowed his era physically much more so than Shaq did. Maybe Shaq can have "physicallity". As in being physical in the manner of his play.

@WojYahooNBA (https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA): Ricky Rubio has reached an agreement with Minnesota to join the Timberwolves next season, league sources tell Y!

This is what I was going for.

About damn time RE: Ricky Rubio. Too bad Minnesota doesn't have any shooters for him to pass to.

I'd like to see Shaq in an analyst role or doing color commentary. Man, that could be gold.

Donnie Walsh out in NY.

"I'm really going to miss the free throws"

So awesome.

Isola says that Dolan offered Walsh a new deal, with a 40% pay cut

Just read that TWolves are likely keeping Rambis, but that Kahn wants to fire his staff.

Bill-o the drunk?

Prime Bird always scared me more than Jordan, simply because he could fuck you offensively in so many ways.
He was a clutch shooter scorer passer, just fucking deadly in any situation.
I hated that sunavabitch.

GSW hired Mark Jackson as their coach.

The GSW are not better than that.

Their entire offense will revolve around teardrop shots.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
