Shaq-Fu?

For those who don't know, we are pure bread Phoenix Suns fans in this house. And part of being a lifelong fan of any team means that at one time or another you will end up seeing some questionable characters suit up in your team's uniform (Danny Ainge, Oliver Miller, Jerrod Mustaff, etc.). But this one beats all. I never thought that I'd see the day when Shaq-Diesel himself would suit up in the purple and orange. Yes, Shaquille O'neal will most likely be a Phoenix Sun by the end of the day, and we in the Brown household are still trying to recover from the shock. At this point, I am weighing all of the pro's and con's, but I still don't know what to make of it. So until the dust settles and we see how this all works out, here's hoping that the trade re-ignites Shaq's passion for the arts, and that he drops another round of rap albums, video games, and genie-themed movies.




p.s. - A big thanks goes out to Shawn Marion; aka the Matrix, who up until being traded to Miami today, had spent 9 glorious years as a Suns star. Here's a picture from a few years back of Ryan, Marion, and I all celebrating life. Thanks Shawn.
