This article presents information related to the performance of basketball player Shaquille O'Neal. Of course Shaq, barring any type of injury that will shut him down, will dominate in the East. But don't tell that to Detroit's Wallace guys, Ben and Rasheed, who ganged up on Shaq in last season's National Basketball Association's Finals. While Shaq is not the most exciting player in the conference or the league, when one considers the likes of Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Alien Iverson and Steve Francis, he is certainly the most dominant player since Wilt Chamberlain roamed the hardwoods of the league.

The biggest of the all-stars representing the Eastern and Western conferences at the 53rd NBA All-Star Game was Shaquille O' Neal, The game was played in his town, his arena, his space and what seemed to be his universe. From the moment he came off the bench, he seemed to be sending a message to all the people who had voted Yao Ming as the Western Conference starting center, and his energy was matched by only a few, Kobe Bryant, his Lakers teammate. No one comes to the All-Star games in these times looking for a competitive game, but they got one from O' Neal, and the game itself was fairly competitive. The league and tons of staff from the league office, former and current players, stars from the WNBA, and sportscasters like L.A.'s Jim Hill were all over the City of Angels all week long, arriving at different elementary schools and children's hospitals in Los Angeles for the NBA's "Read to Achieve Caravan," a reading program directed by Bob Lanier.

Basketball coach Phil Jackson is the one constant in all the drama surrounding basketball players Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and the basketball team Los Angeles Lakers. Jackson is perhaps the savviest coach in all of sports when it comes to dealing with player issues. He knows how this media thing works. He knows making a statement during these turbulent times will only encourage more turbulence from media people. Both O'Neal and Kobe, regardless of their personal feelings for Jackson, highly respect him. Bryant already frustrated and kicking himself for his June 30 admittance of adulterous behavior, which resulted in his arrest on July 4 in Eagle, Colorado for allegedly imprisoning and sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman has reached a breaking point in regards to continually hearing and reading O'Neal's self-appointed proclamation that the Lakers are his team.

This article presents results of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference basketball tournament. With both the basketball teams, Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons, taking a game on each other's home floor, the best-of-seven Eastern Conference final is now tied at two. For starters, the Heat need more consistent play from their bench and supporting cast. In Tuesday's 106-96 loss at Detroit, Dwayne Wade had 28 points. Another issue facing the Heat is Shaquille O'Neal getting in early foul trouble. There is absolutely no way Miami is going to knock off the Pistons with O'Neal not on the court. Miami will make the argument that the officials called it too tight on O'Neal, so don't expect O'Neal to be limited to 25 minutes in game five tonight. As for the Pistons, everything was back to normal as Richard Hamilton went off for 28 points and Rasheed Wallace had 20.

This article focuses on the performance of the basketball team Miami Heat. The Heat, who had no trouble dispatching the basketball teams New York Nets and Washington Wizards in eight games, ran into something they haven't encountered in a long time, a team that actually wants to play defense. Unlike the Wizards, who gave up 100 points per game during the regular season and allowed the Heat to do what they wanted, when they wanted to, the basketball team Detroit Pistons were like a brick wall. Unfortunately for the Heat, things won't change if they can't get someone other than Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones or Dwayne Wade to do some scoring. In game one's 90-81 loss, O'Neal scored 20 on 9-for-14 shooting and Jones had 22 on 9-for-13 shooting, but that was about it. The Pistons' defense began exactly where it left off last season. They guarded O'Neal one on one and didn't allow the Heat's perimeter players to get the open looks they had grown accustomed to.

The article reports that basketball players Dwayne Wade and Shaquille O'Neal formed a combo the Nets just couldn't touch. Even on NJ's best day, a double overtime loss in game 3, the NBA's newest version of Shaq and Kobe Bryant handled the Nets with lethal efficiency, just like most observers thought they would. Meanwhile, player Damon Jones, who averaged less than seven points per game with eight different teams prior to joining the Heat, became a household name and averaged a career-high 11.5 points per game during the regular season and 16.5 against the Nets in the playoffs.

The article focuses on the performance of basketball team New Jersey Nets. The Nets face a monumental task on Thursday at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. They dropped the first two games of their first-round series against Miami and hope to get at least one game when they square off against Shaquille O'Neal and company tonight. After witnessing the heat beat the Nets to the punch in the paint and the perimeter, odds are, Sunday will be the last time anyone sees the Nets play the season.

The article reports that veteran rapper/actor Heavy D has been tapped to star in a new play, "Medal of Honor Rag," which is being executive produced by Will Smith. The play centers on a clinically depressed Vietnam veteran. "Mommie Helen's Bakery," Shaquille O'Neal's favorite, will be providing its savory sweet potato pies at National Football League great Tim Brown's Athletes & Entertainers for Kids charity, which will be hosting its 11th Annual SBC Celebrity Golf Classic on Tuesday, April 26, 2005, at the St. Regis Resort in Dana Point, California. Despite Shaq's departure from Los Angeles, Mommie Helen's Bakery continues to serve a diverse celebrity clientele that includes Magic Johnson, JB Bryant, Master P, Kathy Ireland, Kimberly Elise, Steve Harvey, Junior Seau, Julius Erving, Willie Gault, and James Worthy, among others.

The article reports that Vince Carter, who scored 22 against his old team, is worth every penny and everybody the Nets gave up for him. The second half should represent a new beginning for the Nets (we'll give the Nets a mulligan on the 100-82 loss to Toronto on Tuesday). Cliff Robinson, a tough veteran who has been there and done that, should provide the Nets just enough presence they need to make a playoff run. In a watered-down East that features only seven teams with winning records, it would be a crime if the Nets didn't make the playoffs. Okay, so the Nets are lacking a Shaquille O'Neal-type force in the middle.

It was at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, home to the 76ers and the Flyers, where the talk was "the best big man of all time." Every single person gave the nod to basketball player Wilt Chamberlain over Shaquille O'Neal. The solid majority vote was cemented by basketball player Willis Reed. Carl Green, one of Wilt's closest friends and a former Harlem Globetrotter from Winston Salem State University, said Wilt was faster than Shaquille, could jump higher and could run all night and play every minute of every game.

The schedule says tomorrow night's Nets and Knicks game at the Continental Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is their final meeting of the season. If that matchup happens and players Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin are healthy, Nets will be labeled as favorites. This isn't to say Knicks have someone like Shaquille O'Neal or Tim Duncan on their roster, because they don't. But a first round matchup between the two teams should, at the least, generate some excitement for the Tristate area. There isn't a team in the league that gets more out of its lead guard than Nets.

Chris Webber has been on the national basketball radar since his days at the University of Michigan.
