if he retires he doesn't get the rest of his contract though right? Man, add the $20M to whatever else he gets per year in endorsements... he's got it rough.

Jesus H Christ on a crutch. Don't they have any kind of salary cap in this stupid sport? What is it? Eleventy Billion dollars?

No one should get paid that much money. For anything.

Unless he does another movie with Bugs Bunny. Then he deserves it. Of course.

I THINK SHAQ IS FULL OF SH*T. HE WANTED AN EXTENSION FROM THE LAKERS THAT WAS GOING TO BE WORTH FROM 30 MIL TO 35 MIL FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS. NOW THIS IDIOT GOES TO MIAMI AND TAKES A PAY CUT TO BETTER THE TEAM. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THAT. THE LAKERS COULD HAVE GAVE HIM MORE MONEY! THEN HE MADE A BIG STINK AND CRIED LIKE A BIG BABY! WHAT A WUSS!

Ha! Beef! Kobe! Kobe beef! Get it?

Kobe beef is a type of Japanese beef that is very, very tender. The cows are fed a rich diet that includes a lot of beer, and they are frequently suspended from large slings and massaged.

Seriously though, Shaq made the right choice. The Lakers were a sinking ship, and he bailed at the right time, and now he has himself another title contender in the Heat.
