There was HUGE enjoyment for me seeing Shaq ride the pine so much during the finals. He's massively overrated. He's got no touch, no jump shot and the free throw thing is comical. If I was paying him $20 mil a season I'd make him practice nothing but FT's until there was a definite improvement. The only thing he's good at is dunking when he's 3-6' from the hoop. Even after that the other team can usually be assured a 5-on-4 the other way because he can't get back quick enough.
I almost hate to hear Bill Walton cover games that Shaq is in. He loves him. Everyone talks about how is the greatest. Greatest size maybe. It is painful to watch the guy put up free throws. The only thing he can put up is 2 foot shots. But you have to admit it opens up the game for Wade. San Antonio has a great team with Duncan but he opens it up for Manu and Tony Parker
