Worst $20 million bet in history?

[cleaveland]

The Cavs getting Shaq just to neutralize Howard in the playoffs then losing in the second round.

I can't remember a more disastrous bet like that in sports. The way the Cavs managed Shaq it was like for Shaq the first two rounds of the playoffs would be like his pre-season due to his so-called "injury" then Shaq's season would start in round 3...

What a horrible, horrible bet. A losing $20 million bet that produced almost nothing, horrible!

12 pts, 7 rebounds per game
50% FT

Every match Shaq plays from now on is just further tarnishing his career.

Yes

Has to be the most overpaid athlete in sports history right now

[Holtgetsback]

was hard for me to watch the most dominant player in NBA history play like that

Teams that build their whole squad around beating one specific other team never seem to get anywhere. You need to have a whole machine of players stepping up to win a title.

shaq was done 3 years ago.

[michalis]

well after a slow start, shaq seemed to be meshing in perfectly with the whole team and they were rolling in the regular season

IMO the injury ruined the chemistry, as the cavs had to reshuffle the cards, get used to playing with out him again

then he came back and they had to go through the regular season process all over again, but it was too late

who is shaq? he s still breathin' ?

[Scorpion]

Beantownjim was right
Shaq and Lebron are overpaid janitors!

[paco]

That would have to go to Jamarcus Russel

[lakerboy]

shaq needs to retire now. he is embarassing himself. he wants to go out with more rings than kobe but its gonna be tough especially if kobe wins this year. i cant see how any team would sign him now.
