True - nice to see a sense of history creeping in as the kids get older.
Speaking of Shaq, though, the LA Times reports that, for the first time in
his career, he is doing some serious work in the weight room and his biceps
are up to 22.5 inches.  Damn.  Somehow I don't think Bruno is the answer.
I know you're joking, but IMO that's the mistake most people make looking at Shaq. Look, he's a physical force and a unique one. NO ONE matches up with Shaq physically, so you don't waste your time worrying about trying to.You make him as irrelevant as possible by forcing him to move a lot and/or stay outside on defense and trying to keep him from getting the ball on offense or from getting it where he's comfortable/can go to the hoop without an offensive foul.

Clearly the answer is someone to stomp on Shaq's sore toe. Repeatedly. With good enough balance to do it without making it obvious with his own motion.
