Happy 41st to the most dominant big of my lifetime

9 years the junior of the jovial Sir Charles, and the racist MJ, Kobe's former pimp Shaquille O'Neil turned 41 today.  In his prime, some of which is depicted in the video below, he was the most athletic and dominant big in the game.  He averaged close to 30, 14 and 3 blocks and won 4 Larry O'Brien's.  Sources close to the club report that his most impressive feat during his playing days was piping Kobe's wife.               

Ricky the Kid should stick to passing

Ricky the Kid sure isn't a scorer but even Ron Artest could make this shot...

Rubio is one of the most gifted young point guards in the league but his knee really seems to be effecting his play.  As of last night's game, he ranked dead last in the league in field goal percentage at the rim, making just 25 percent of his attempts. What's even more concerning is he's making just 21 percent of his jumpers.  Those numbers coupled with the absence of Milk Chocolate spell doom for the 'Wolves and make my early season prediction look like crazy person talk.  (In my defense, the 'Wolves have been good when healthy.)
