That may have been over a recent stretch.  For the season, Shaq averages 
38.7 minutes.  Also, this wasn't just a lot of minutes,  according to the 
Herald, Bryant and O'Neal missed a COMBINED 5.5 SECONDS in the second half.  
I'm not sure what your comment about Celtic player's minutes, and the one 
about Iverson not wanting to come here to play 28 minutes, are supposed to 
mean.  I'll just assume you mean that the Celtics players have willingly 
sacrificed their own statistics and playing time for the good of the team, 
and players like Iverson and O'Neal would not put up with that.

I think you're jesting here, but I thought I saw Kenny deliberately foul out 
so he didn't have to be out there for the final seconds.
