OT - Tension Between Shaq & Wade?

Curiously, Dwyane Wade wouldn’t go on record Wednesday confirming Shaquille O’Neal’s account that he sent word to the lockerroom during Game 5 that the Heat needed Wade to return to the court. This wouldn’t be the first time O’Neal has, ahem, stretched the truth. Remember last year when Wade had a bad Game 1 in the Detroit series? A story circulated by O’Neal said he and Alonzo Mourning took Wade out for a late-night drive to clear his head. That, as the story goes, led to Wade’s 40-point performance in Game 2. Well, now it turns out that late-night drive probably never happened. That brings us around to Wednesday. When first asked about the Shaq story, Wade lowered his head and laughed. “I don’t know,” he said about Shaq’s version of the story. ” I just know I’m looking at TV and I saw him get his fourth foul, I saw our team was down five, so I was on my way out. And actually (Heat media relations assistant) Michael Lissack was on his way toward the back and I was on my way out, so maybe it happened at the same time.”

shaq makes up a lot of stuff - the media is just dumb enough to beleive it.

didn't he once say that he called kobe at 3am in the morning to tell him the next game would go well and kobe scored big the next day.

i'm pretty sure that wasn't true either

Are you stretching a bit? How's that tension? If anything, Wade is being humble for not saying, "yeah, Shaq was crying for my help." If wade agreed to the story that yes, Shaq asked for him, then how bad would Shaq look? If anything, Wade downplayed it to avoid tension and rift.

I know what you are saying, but im more worried about tomorrow than what ever fat ***, has problems with Wade.
But if true, i feel for Wade.

It's already a well known fact that Snaq is a compulsive liar. Remember his lie about David Robinson. I hated DR for years because of that lie. Snaq later (10 years later) admitted that he lied about it. Unfortunately the medie NEVER holds fat fk accountable for anything.

i think he is talking about Shaq writing in his book that when he was in high school in Texas, he approached David Robinson for an autograph and the Admiral brushed him off. He claimed he used that for motivation whenever he played against the Spurs.

Didn't Shaq also have to publically apologize years ago for claiming to have slept with Venus Williams and Cindy Crawford?

My bad, skimmed through the thread without catching that. Actually it makes sense that was a lie, that seems very uncharacteristic of David "Nice Guy" Robinson.

Shaw always complains about another teammate being a star and that other player always get blames (Kobe, Penny) for being selffish but isn't it weird that this always happens to Shaq?
