Think he remembers Shaq Fu?


Those waiting for a next-gen version of Shaq Fu (good god!) will have to settle for another title bearing the mug of the Miami Heat center. 2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive, announced today the return of Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal as the cover athlete and official spokesperson for NBA 2K7.

"Shaquille O'Neal remains one of the most dominant, exciting, and charismatic athletes in the world," stated Erik Whiteford, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. "Shaq is well-known for his fun-loving nature, great work ethic, and incredible athletic skills. His dominating game and winning attitude make him the central figure on every team he is a part of, including 2K Sports. We're very pleased to be working with Shaq again with NBA 2K7."

"You only get to represent the best by playing with the best," said Shaq. "NBA 2K7 is the game for champions and I'm proud to be a part of the best basketball game anywhere."

NBA 2K7 will be available for the Xbox, Xbox 360, and PS2 in September 2006. NBA 2K7 will also hit the PS3 this holiday season.

Shaq is annoying now. I was thinking about playing this game but now I don't even care to see it. He really isn't even a good basketball player it's just his size that makes him what he is. And good god I hope he doesn't sing on this game too.

You've got to be kidding me. Shaq is certainly the most dominant player in the NBA. He dominates both the centers that are smaller than him and the centers larger than him. He consistently gets double-doubles and helps his team win to a great extent. When Shaq arrived in Miami, the Heat went from 42-40 to 59-23. When Shaq left the Lakers, they went from 56-26 to 34-48.



It's not Shaq's size that makes him win. It's his combination of great defense, dominant offense that draws double teams, and his ability to make good plays on the floor. That's why he wins championships wherever he goes.

Shaq is a cluts. Yeah is defense is that he is big as a wall and his offense is that he is so big, and he knocks people down when they jump up for the ball. His skills are sub par. You can tell by his free throws. If he is not jumping for a slam while wearing out others by slamming them to the floor he is walking like he is crippled.
