Vlade Divac Says Shaq 'Wasn't Talented...Just Strong'

He's definitely not wrong.

Vlade's right.

Shaq was an incredible athlete for a man his size and just a physical beast, a no doubt hall of gamer, but any sober analysis would conclude he had mediocre basketball talent.

Shaq>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>vlade.

This story is dumb. The quote is being taken completely out of context by a guy who has a mediocre handle of the English language at best.

Glad to hear this. Thought Divac was dead.

For anyone saying Vlade in his prime wasn't talented didn't see him play. He was really good. I'm a huge Shaq fan but his best asset was his strength and size. I will say this , no one including Cousins could handle Shaq in his prime

vlade was a flopping pussy

Amazing the traction this story gets when taken out of context (like nearly every sports headline related to it that I've seen). Vlade wasn't trying to put down Shaq at all in his interview.

Bar b que chicken

Yeah....no talent

I have seen Shaq play since his freshman year at LSU. While he improved greatly,
he could never be considered a highly skilled basketball player because he didn't have to be. He was so physically overpowering to everyone he played against. However he was a great athlete, very strong, played hard and had great hands. There are plenty of players who have large hands who still can't catch. Shaq caught everything close to him, which should be considered a skill.

What a moron.

As a fan of Divac, shut the frick up Divac.

Here is more of what Divac said:

"I've been in basketball a long, long time and I have to say [Cousins is] the most talented big guy I have ever seen,'' Divac said Monday. ''Shaq wasn't talented, he was just strong. I was talented, but I wasn't strong."

Divac went on to call O'Neal one of the most dominant players ever. O'Neal, who knocked Divac and the Kings out of the playoffs in three straight seasons from 1999-2001, is now a minority owner with the team and one of Divac's bosses.

"He always was my boss" Divac said.

Divac wasn't talented, just bad

Vlade Divac was a pretty solid player in his own right and all, but for him to just try and put down Shaq is complete blasphemy.

During the infamous seven-game Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings, Shaq averaged 30.3 ppg 13.6 rpg and 2.4 bpg. Divac averaged a paltry 14.4 ppg 10 rpg and 0.9 bpg. I would shut the hell up if I was Divac.

Yeah. He still mad.
