Message: [QUOTE="oddo033, post: 209468, member: 192"] He did! Look at the stats! His per game dropped 8 points per game. His fellow players are quoted as saying he ran away from the ball because he couldn't shoot free throws. He was scared to fail so he couldnt be blamed! These aren't writers opinions. These are opinions of people who competed with and against him. Shaq couldn't shoot free throws. He wasn't scared to have the ball. He still went at it! You don't hear any modern players say Shaq was scared to win! Again, if wilt was so great, why was he traded twice??? In the early sixties the Lakers had a chance to trade for him and they had a team vote. The team vote was 9-2 don't trade. Of course he eventually ended up there but that shows you how players and other teams felt about him. [/QUOTE]
