With that standard, all the guys that played for team USA were unethical as they wore themselves down for the NBA season while accepting big checks from the NBA. Plenty of NBA players are injured and sit out, and most NBA players over 34 or so heal slowly. this is more true for the bruisers who take and deliver so much physicality. Boozer, Amare, Duncan, Bosh, and Yao have all missed a month of games over the past year or two. Fact is, shaq will not have as grueling a job in PHX, it'll be much easier as he wont be expected to carry the team, or subject his body to rileys grueling practices. I dont think Hill would want to play in that system either. Shaq cant carry a team for long anymore, older centers cant do that. Hakeem didnt carry his team the last few years, neither did jabbar or parish. Softer centers like parrish and jabbar tend to last longer as they do not play physical. This is a chance for shaq to play less physical, not being the focus of the defense. Shaq is a role player with a superstar(bad) contract. The heat and heat fans should be happy that they now can rebuild, not sure those fans wanted a .500 season while paying shaq 20 mil. I dont understand Bill waltons gripe unless he fears his son luke might not get that NBA championship now.
