I don't know the specifics, but wasn't Shaq more successful with the Lakers than with his past squadrons? This info should be included. Indosauros 15:50, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)
he got championships with the lakers that he didnt get with the magic, but that is already included in the article. stat-wise, he was about the same on both teams. User:azn king28 18:07 Oct 3, 2004
Two Infamous Dunks
The article erroneously claimed Shaq had two "backboard shattering" dunks in his rookie year. This is not true; the backboards did not shatter but the support structure of the baskets collapsed, bringing the basket and (intact) backboard crashing to the ground. I think the two incidents were slightly different in that I remember some kind of wire breaking in New Jersey while the Phoenix dunk just caused the basket to slump and fall down. I don't know the names of these pieces of equipment, and I don't see any information on the "anatomy of the hoop" here in Wikipedia. Hopefully an educated basketball fan can, in better detail, reword my edit. --Feitclub 19:57, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
Tone
This article seems more like a sports editorial and not enough like an encyclopedia entry - perhaps someone who's watching this page can clean it up some? I'm not well-enough versed in Shaq's career but I might give it a go in a few days. ESkog 12:00, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
