This is what he yelled at rookie center Robin Lopez (aka Sideshow Bob) the other day.

“Put somebody on their (expletive) back. Don’t let anybody oopsy-doopsy layup on you and be laughing at you. Have you ever seen me get dunked on? No, because I put (expletive) on their backs. Period. If you’re going to be a big man, be a big man. Don’t be out there (expletive) around. Lay somebody on their (expletive) back. Period. Wilt (Chamberlain) told me that. Bill Russell told me that. Hakeem (Olajuwon) told me that. All the great big men told me that. . . . That’s what I’m trying to teach him, instead of just being out there like a loose tree blowing in the wind. Do something.”

Did attending Stanford (where he dated Michelle Wie) make him soft? Or perhaps his brother got the tough gene? Wonder if Shaq will go at allergic-to-rebounding Amare like this next season. Might help.
