Bill Walton got really mad at him some years back because Shaq had gone after a big man with some commentary that crossed the line over criticizing his game to criticizing him as a person. It was one of those fascinating moments where Walton's unique viewpoint wasn't ever something most people would ever consider, but when you think about it, makes a lot of sense. He said something to the effect of shame on Shaq for attacking the personality of a fellow big man, because Shaq of all people should know that even though it's a gift to be so tall, it can also be really lonely and isolating. Your identity is always that you're the freakishly tall guy in a room, and it changes the way people interact with you and what they expect from you. Even though it brings advantages, there can be ostracism too, and he thought it was unbecoming of Shaq to pick on another big man personally knowing that.

I don't know, I thought that was a deep perspective.
