That's a Mike. Serious sports debate about Shaquille O'Neal then you Rick you really have disparaged them. As as a as a as an underachieving. Athlete who doesn't get whatever realistic given. He made his grand statement that because he was in movies and moved to LA didn't have a work ethic. Has four -- Is or is warring independent what I've finals.
How great -- only reason he went and LA bury three rings in LA with Kobe. -- Miami. You know what I am okay.
I don't without -- Dwyane Wade but you know -- it is. Senate about almost any championship team has always more than once are usually takes real I don't I stand let me play I don't think you idiot you Robert George mcginnis. Yeah member Pete -- of BA BA was power fourteen dealt with acted today yes All-Star 66%. Free throw shooter -- nick Anderson. -- get -- Carolina and oh yeah sharpshooter integrate sure maybe all thirteen I think once or twice. He witnessed 66% free brochure right -- mean you know to.
Shaq Shaq wishes he could sniff 66%. 53 career he's had seasons where he was 42. -- an -- at bubble by the way Billy here's a guy who gets more practice shots during the course of year the streets of type because remembered -- the -- I mean he's gonna -- every single game more than anybody.
An open that's like saying a pitcher that can't consistently throws strikes doesn't have worked here. I mean you know they're just that will Herbert purpose sex seem at all because you know that the numbers -- sex at second base when he couldn't throw the ball first paper.
Horse I remembered that what does that what does that do exactly what have -- I see what he say an animated doesn't mean indeed it's a mental thing it. Doesn't mean the malpractice okay mental thing or not I don't I've never heard anybody tell me what you don't even know Shaq shoots 53% he's out there every night for an hour trying to improve his free throw line of our Internet. -- I succumbed to recover the Celtics I get out there at 6 o'clock the dual -- shot what is a 7:30 or 8 o'clock game scheduled Larry Bird was on the court for an hour by himself. With a ball boy returned.
But an extreme example Larry Burton.
So Mikey Ray Allen is -- the year two hours before game shooting threes nonstop. I mean. He still win all three times played out at you guys are really gonna defend a 53%. Free throw shooting animals -- you know what's your own -- Cause he's got -- okay so that means he's worked up that was potential. And Mike I don't see our economic saying he never practices -- you know. I know what I said it was just your shirt and 53%. That your your business is to beat the NBA to go to the line more than -- that -- is to go down analysts -- it all get. Our job and he has an opportunity to increase scoring average by six point -- game -- the deal and rate cut off. The fans in in this you know inside and why can't Shaq just take it upon himself to fix the problem by getting better -- it to practice.
It's a pocket Tom Brady Tom Brady's completion percentage was 38 cents since he percent of whatever it is. But he still has the three Super Bowls and four years the disparate stuff.
He wouldn't have the -- bubbles if the exit out. No not not not the result when I say they have to take really. Really elite elite may be he'd have separate Riggs beat practices reek and Reid throws a right. Well it's a better argument what you're -- Yeah. Absolutely. He's he's got poor ratings OK maybe has doubled that no -- he would bother to Butte. You could free throw shoot out. -- bothered to be -- I don't why you love so much bill really why do you love him so much -- you'll.
I can't stand public are taking it family. -- and it pop up on the ivory tower. Building and -- execute don't know what aspects. That this city.
How do you quotas were kept it I don't know. -- I -- all I said is this if if if you're 53%. You -- free throws nonstop more than anybody else mystery wanted to practice a little more get a better read on here. I don't know how you make -- will roll out 53%. At 47% of the time when your in the NBA I ask you.
Well if they use said he was 42% some years now they've got 53% career -- I'm -- you must have been over 60% want and the numbers are not really it doesn't matter what I want -- not. Resentment right. That's the key here okay that's not been as morning.
It really do as well as it.
The topic of shorts -- fielding -- and I think it's. At work ethic.
No and why why isn't then Ozzie Smith hitting 280 if he gets to. You got at a ridiculous that's noted that yeah make it know what. Don't talk about let's talk about shortstop to talk shortstop. Shortstop who can't turn the double play is what I'm talking about having the Big Apple and yes and it's -- free to -- only -- makes -- it's. -- it was -- great -- but -- product that -- call it doesn't have -- practice -- getting better. That's just how big you wore no you have to practice moves inside look at Dwight Howard yeah he's had trouble he doesn't have an inside move Shaq has some inside moves of course he -- it and what -- we and guess how we got to -- practice. Okay fine that's that's that's like.
just saying you know what it. So does my do you want this because really has really you're not. You're not paying any attention to the main point of what I'm saying you're just ignore you love -- at. -- Oddly the I don't like Shaq you're Mikey that much I mean that the -- the narrative game that I don't care at. Eight. I didn't really. -- really don't misquote me and never said he has no work at the city apparently does have enough work at the practice is free throws. That all. Work epic it call. I don't think I don't think I said.
I don't think I said no work ethic the only think I said those words -- play back the tape -- right -- kiss my ass.
It was a bitter -- that much. 53%. Okay is actually it's 52 point 8%. Is his free throw average now. It will find me that the numbers if you would Joey from the other big men who in the history of the league -- great. -- Hall of Fame guys if you would do that. I don't have traditionally not the greatest free throw shooters but I'm telling you this 53%. You can go over the course and he take his career numbers. A poverty free throws he's attempted how many he's missed an add the points and if you were just a -- 60%. Free throw shooter which I think everybody in the NBA should be.
I think just about every coach in the NBA would trade you know in his prime his offensive rebounds yet and why don't Jack because he's picked. -- Because these are these seven foot toe because he's not a complete that. You know electric I walked in on stilts on coordinated it he would out there guys got a huge tremendous Hall of Fame numbers nor the magnet. At the last caller talked about the full -- Now case got four -- that's great my point is. May be some of the teams he was on like the magic or. The Phoenix Suns are. Even more Laker victories. God for added more championships if if Shaq were better free throw shooter maybe they went and -- five more games a year. -- that's like saying you know. If marked the only answer for instance it you know two and 95 maybe the Orioles when a couple more titles. And it's. I don't think it's anymore I don't think it's it's I don't know what it by the way maybe give mark a major hit to -- to maybe they do win a cup in front but it wasn't as mark lay and -- You know. We're glad I wasn't spectator than -- navigate not even expected to drive in runs he's hit he's and I both. -- expects it all the checks not expected to hit 60% of his free throws why according to who standards to. Yours I'm just saying I think that they'd prefer. In the be dominant in the in the style and yes -- And -- obviously that want him to connect on what is that -- that tool would not immediately it free throws to be does this so why. That's like saying well. You know what you want this got to be Rhodes scholar he's championship wrestler at doesn't make any sense that guy can have both said the skills -- practices the -- that's my point. But who says he doesn't practice that's that's the other point because I've read stuff that he does practice in -- You know storage facility just a minute don't tell me what the problem is a high school girl who's five feet eight and hit 92% of free throws because I think this is an idiot actually comparing high school or it's east coast chief Brad it is it's great precursor to -- she -- the ball inside black -- The -- in the car -- go ahead.
