Shaq was in the studio this morning and was surprisingly cool and calm despite recent developments at the Pacers. New GM Gibbs is coming under fire from fans on the recent performance of the team and the shock trade of Kevin Mchale. Here's what the big man had to say to host Johny B.
Johny B
So Shaq, thanks for coming man. It's been a long time, what you been up to these day?
Shaq
Just taking care of business Johny. You know its good to be back in the studio here talking to you man, we should do this more often.
Johny B
You realize that this radio station is broke right? I'll be lucky to even have a job next week!! In fact the 32 listeners we have tuning in right now is the highest rating we've had all month.
Shaq
Wow man, this station sux big time hahaha!! Ill tell you what ill come in more often on the condition that we get 1000 listeners by the end of the interview. Deal?
Johny B
Deal!! But you're right this station sux we'll never get 1000 listener's. Anyway lets talk Pacers, WTF is going on?
Shaq
You can say Fuck? WTF! Hey look dont worry about the Pacers, we're gonna come out of this just just fine. Me personally, i think we're finally on the right track to bring real success to Indiana. It's not gonna be instant success and that's what our fans need to understand. I feel their tension, I do, but a change had to happen.
Johny B
Surely you're blowin smoke up your own ass there Shaq. GM Gibbs traded out Kevin, probably the Pacers best player. The Pacers are screwed
Shaq
Dont make me put you in sleeper hold Johny B! You seen me wrestle! Ill throw you out that window!
Now look, it's like this. That last GM we had was WHACK man! Sure we had a good team ok. But the team was never a real threat to winning the championship, last year showed that and by then we were all out of resources. We had no draft pick last year and we have no draft pick next year. The teams not a contender so we either bake in mediocrity or you at least try to make a move that gets the wheels rolling again.
Johny B
The fans were promised a championship by the last GM!
Shaq
And where is he now? Championships aren't won with such a shallow team. 3 or 4 players don't get it done so here we are, we gotta start again but at least we have a base to work with, and not having a pick next year might slow our progress even further.
Johny B
Why McHale Shaq? Why?
Shaq
Well have you seen Kev lately? He uuuuugly! The ladies love me, the dudes wanna be me, it was never gonna be me haha I'm just playin. Look I think Kev was always a flight risk at the end of the season, he demands big money and probably wants a good run at the title. Me, I love Indiana and look forward to carrying this team and it's fans towards a championship. Gibbs did ok man, we get to build some youth through draft. Its sad to see my friend Kev go but for the team it was a good choice. I think at the end of the day DJ's injury made planning for the future even more important.
Johny B
Holy shit Shaq we're up to 349 listeners!!
Shaq
You cuss way to much Johny!! Stop the cussin man. You need to be more professional! All them listeners are here for me by the way haha.
Johny B
Ok ill try not to cuss as much. Tell us about GM Gibbs Shaq. The fans say he doesn't have a clue, the results suggest that. Give us some incite into his philosophy.
Shaq
Well i tell you now i like the dude man. He demands everything that we aren't able to deliver right now. We have to give up less points each night, we score efficiently but defensively we're poor. Protecting the ball is also something that isn't coming naturally right now and that has to improve. He's a blue collar man just like every Pacer fan out there. He's 1 of us! When we're ready to challenge it will be on the back on some hard working, blue collar approach to the game. We aint Hollywood, we've gotta be hard at it and dog hungry, it's that simple.
Johny B
Well, i guess I'll take your word for it. We're running out of time because we can only afford about 24 mins of air time a day and after this we're gonna play Tupac's Me Against The World. We've 674 listener's right now! My girl is gonna get it when I get home!!
Shaq
You're crazy man!
Johny B
Tell us what to expect Shaq. What's your plans, what crazy move is Gibbs gonna make next?
Shaq
I'll stay a Pacer. Like i said i love the city and team. I need the fans behind me, I feel their disappointment but that's the way it is. Will there be more changes? That's up to Gibbs and i have full confidence in the man. I look forward to meeting the new recruits, especially Okafor and working with him to lock down the paint.
Johny B
814 listeners. Damn
Shaq
You're a terrible host Johny B and this studio smells like a homeless person's ass! But i like the small playa Johny, let's do this again.
Johny B
There is actually a homeless person sleeping in the corner. Sweet let's lock it in next week!
