First of all, I apologize for the lack of updates this weekend, I went on a little trip an Stank-O is focusing on school now. But Sportaphile is back full strength now.

The VERY first piece of news I see is Shaq’s HILARIOUS freestyle dissing Kobe Bryant. Things like this is why Shaq is one of the most lovable athletes in the last 50 years. He’s downplaying the freestyle now, and I believe him. There may be a little competitive “one upsmanship” but I doubt theres serious dislike.

“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever,” O’Neal told ESPN.com Monday. “That is what MC’s do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all.”
