Shaq Says Joe Johnson Is The NBA's Real Problem
By Bruce Tennen
As the NBA lockout approaches three months, Shaquille O'Neal claims the league's severe financial problems are in part the fault of Atlanta Hawks high-scoring guard Joe Johnson.
O'Neal told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that Johnson's contract (6-year/$120 million) is the best example of a team overpaying for a star it could not afford. The fact that Johnson often plays poorly in the playoffs was also not forgotten by the Big Aristotle.
We eagerly await O'Neal's comments on the Middle East peace process.
