Bill Walton recently criticized Shaquille O’neal for his seemingly improved enthusiasm towards playing this season. Shaq was injured and unhappy during his time on the Miami Heat, which caused him to sit out a chunk of games on the bench. Now that Shaq has been traded to a first place team, he’s excited and dedicated to winning a championship this year.

This has led Walton to imply Shaq was faking injuries because he didn’t want to play for a losing team. Walton says “Shaq’s arrogance is an insult to people who think”.

I’m not going to quote Shaq’s entire reply, because you can check it out in the video below, but he basically said “get on my level hoe”. Which basically implies Walton wasn’t a good enough player to critique The Big Aristotle.

The(presumably) last video of Chris Berman behind the scenes hit YouTube today. It doesn’t feature Berman cursing wildly like the old ones, but he does call Al Michael’s a “fuckhead”. ESPN commented on these videos leaking out and had this to say.

The off air videos are now nearly a decade old and do not reflect his typical workplace demeanor, his relationships with co-workers, nor the contributions he has made to ESPN over many years. Chris has a tremendous connection with sports fans and his body of work should not be judged by a few minutes of unguarded language uttered years ago. We aren’t excusing the language used and will be emphasizing to our workforce the importance of using appropriate language in the workplace.”

here’s the last video with Chris insulting Al.
