Who was Shaq's money manager again? Wasn't it someone from the team he was friends with?

Does he still manage his cash?

If I remember right, Shaq was good friends with Dennis Tracey(former guard at LSU). I think he help steered Shaq in the right direction a lot.

No, he' s ready. Better yet, I am ready for him to go. I am sure he is a great kid but he doesn't want to be at LSU.

He'd never be eligible if he came back. But of course that's not even a possibility.

I like the baseball rule but I hear you. What I do know is highschool kids should be allowed to go pro and if they don't then college should get at least two years. But, I prefer three. That's just me because I remember when the college game had some continuity.

The college game was ruined when they let them go right out of HS. And I have no problem with three years.. UK a couple years ago won the title with a bunch of freshman.. But it doesn't happen that often.... I like seeing a guy spend his 3-4 years at a school... Say what you want but its a time in your life you will never get back. But hey If they are good enough to make it rich I can't harp on them either... Ben would be stupid to stay....

Thanks.

He has precious little outside game and doesn't seem to have the stomach for the paint...no doubt he is skilled but is in no man's land when it comes to position...that must be settled before he considers the NBA

Let's be real here, Barkley is the top NBA analyst in the game. I won't do it, but some will argue he's the best analysts in sports. No bs, he'll tell it like it is right or wrong.
let's be real here, I disagree with you.

And im not trying to bash Chuck. I like the guy.

Simmons won the Lottery. Go to the NBA and win at life. In two years, he could buy LSU.

Barkley is widely regarded to be a fricking dumbass, right?
