Shaq's marketing angle of the big, happy go-lucky guy has been executed flawlessly


To think a 17 yr old kid would start marketing himself at such a young age to reap the benefits when he is retired. Pure genius! Or he really is how he acts...incidentally everyone who knows him says he is as he appears.

His point is how marketing and the media shaped most people's opinions on Shaq and Kobe.

Shaq was the "good guy" when by most personal accounts - like this thread obviously - he can be a huge jerk.

Kobe was the "bad guy" yet by most personal accounts outside of basketball he's nice and down to earth, just introverted.

The naivety of how the media works. You don't think Dale Brown made up some shite and helped market him that way? You don't think the media continued that and Shaq just played into it and saw it as a way to do stupid shite with out reprise?

Because Shaq isn't trying to be an a-hole, he just tries to make people laugh and have some fun.

that's the same shite kids do when they make fun of kids with disabilities

it's always about getting lols/attention from others

it doesn't make it right

I love Shaq, he's the reason I became a laker fan as a kid, but cmon, he mocked a disabled kid on instagram

Calling dumbasses out that have probably done much worse and far less for people is being naive? Hypocrite much?

ETA- typical hypocrite response " we aren't celebrities so we can't be held in the same regard"

I feel like I'm in Pee Wee's Playhouse and "hypocrite" is the word of the day.

You assume we've all made of fun of kids with disabilities?

I'll clear this up for you. I have literally never made fun of any man, woman or child with a disability.

One of my best friends little brother is disabled.

You shouldn't assume shite about random people on the internet.

And he assumes we've all become multi millionaires by playing a game thereby able to give the same amount of money to charity that Shaq does. His assumptions are terrible.
