Shaq isn't good enough to just turn it on whenever he wants to anymore though. He hasn't been able to just show up in the playoffs for years. Even when Miami won the title, it was more so because of Alonzo Mourning and Dwayne Wade's free referee pass than anything Shaq did. Kinda sad that he's in such obvious decline.
Which raises a question that I've asked in the past: if you're a super duper star with that much money, why wouldn't you retire? It kills me watching people like Shaq go out like poo. Same with Jordan on the Wizards stint. I'd walk away while I was on top of the world.
