Sorry Bro, But I gotta rebutt your argument.. Shaq left for more money....Period.. He was under contract when he demanded the trade. He was just disgruntled, and had plenty of ego problem to play with against Kobe...And, as an Organization, there was no way Shaq would get 30 + Mil a year for 5 years as a Laker...so, he end up signing 5 Yr, 100 Mil contract with Miami...which I think is overpaid....Shaq is already slowing down..despite losing 25 lbs....he might play 2 more years...with a huge IF....... Last I checked, the best player usually end up winning the MVP......
