Was Shaq a Good Trade for Cleveland?
Shaquille O’Neal is a giant but over the years this giant has been worn out by many years of playing in the NBA. How long can this 37year old last in the NBA? He is a four time NBA champion and an inspiration for all ages.

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Weighing in at 325 pounds and standing 7 ft tall he dominates near the basket. His 17 year career has been amazing. He has won many NBA titles along side his partner in crime Kobe Bryant. After he was traded to Miami he started a new life destroying any team in the way. Dwayne Wade was like a replacement for Kobe for Shaq. Together they won Miami’s first NBA championship. In 2 years Miami fell from the top and Shaq was traded. In Phoenix there was no connection and the suns were slowly falling. Once again Shaq was traded to Cleveland where he presently is.

Now a wounded Cleveland regrouping after a heartbreaking loss to Orlando which led to Orlando advancing to the finals. Lebron James single handedly took Cleveland to the NBA playoffs destroying every team that came into their way. After sweeping Detroit and Atlanta they lost 4-2 to Orlando. Which made this loss even more depressing was that almost everyone including Nike which invested a lot into making products and commercials was 100% sure the Lakers and Cavaliers were going to face off in the finals. Nike made some funny commercials with puppets playing Lebron and Kobe going through daily life as an NBA superstar. Unfortunately their plans were spoiled by Orlando. Now don’t get me wrong Orlando is an amazing team its just that no one expected it.

Like Shaq’s previous accomplices Lebron has to team up with Shaq if Cleveland wants to win an NBA title. Lebron has to do almost everything when he is playing. He has to shoot, play on the inside, guard and pass. Cleveland’s shooters weren’t 100% when they were playing so it resulted in countless misses. Lebron might seem like a ball hog at times but he has too for the sake of the team. He really need someone to step in and take the load off, and that person is Shaquille O’Neal. Before we make any kind of solid statement we need to see the two in action and that has to be October 6th during Cleveland’s preseason game against the Charlotte Bobcats. The anticipation grows as the days go on. We are gonna have to wait to see this dynamic duo in action.
