Why does Shaq always need to be the center of attention?

Question

Well he knows his career is over so he's just rappin about old teammates, stalking girls, going into late night bars, and who knows what else he's doin. Even when Shaq and Kobe were together, he didn't like Kobe because Kobe was stealin the spotlight from him. Why is he so selfish?

Answer 1

For once someone agrees with me. His career is OVER. O-V-E-R. and he anit got nothing on kobe, and when he was dissin Kobe i dont get it i mean your career is over and your still he tryin to rapp about Kobe who is 10 time better than u whats the point. and the game i nevver forgot was when the LAKERS were playin with the HEAT and andrew bynum dunked on him , and thought NO ONE can dunk on him! WHO the h**l does he think he is!! like PLZ

Answer 2

Shaq's just bitter player with no game!!

Corey and the other Kobe haters here have no clue about a thing!!

Answer 3

Stop with the sour grapes dude.  Thank the man for the 3 championships and move on.  You have to admit the rap was pretty funny.  And Kobe has always been the one so willing to share the spotlight?  Yeah right.  

Answer 4

Everyone keeps hatin on Shaq. Ya he has no brain and he's personality is so over powering that he "demands" attention but its just who he is. He has a huge personality to go with his huge body.........he isn't selfish he just doesn't know how to not stick out. And his career isn't over I really wish people would freakin stop sayin that...........its ignorant

Answer 5

I think that  shaq always wants to be the center of attetion because he thinks that since he is on one of the not good basketball teams and that he is really good compared to everyone else. Shaq just wants the publicity because he thinks he deserves it. He just wants people to notice that he is one of the best in the group of bad teams.

Answer 6

He's selfish, thats why. He always wants to be the center of attention. I agree with you, even with Kobe. He wanted the spotlight. Ah who cares, his career is over and I'm glad Suns ended up the way they did.

Answer 7

it just his personality. he's been pampered in his youth and now that he getting up there in age its hard for him to understand his limitations now...

plus:

He never learned to make free throws. everyone knew if he didn't improve it it would be a hindrance in his game when he got older. when mj lost his explosiveness he added the fade away jumper which he then mastered.

learn any go to post moves, now that he can't move as fast or jump as high as he used to and zones can collapse on him. so he throws up hard bank shot and hooks. he would still be a threat if he could ever sink a couple of free throws a row so they didn't just hack him. still shoots a good % though from the floor.

position defense, help defense. he never learned to play D with his feet... he just uses his size which worked when he was younger, but now he just can't keep up with faster players and if a rebound is out of reach he can't just grab it or go over the back which is illegal, but he used to get away with it all the time.

his body... put down the donut shaq. after age caught up, his desire to stay in top form became more difficult. he'll end up on the injure list a handful of times this year. he a big boy regardless... so he needs to keep the weight off his legs and feet.

his problem still is not learning how to share the spotlight. penny hardaway, kobe bryant and even dwyane wade at one point in time clashed with shaq in this... though kobe and penny both got some pretty healthy egos too. prediction: it'll happen this year with another healthy ego, amare stoudamire. watch.

to shaq's credit in his prime he was a great player, he has four rings and a mvp, but like many people believe he should of had more he was so dominating in his day. Shaq is a ego machine... he names himself, is bigger than life, always has a sound bite for reporters. its just how he is.

Answer 8

center of attetion sounds like that selfish guy kobe bryant

read the last season (phil jackson)

kobe told shaq he should retire  in 2003 after he won his third straight finals mvp he told phil that he was tired of being shaq's side kick

Answer 9

I don't think shaq really wanted that Atlanta stalker thing to get out in the publics eye.
