Those were still 1 year deals. The question was why didn't he sign a long term deal. As for why sign why GS then, I've answered that. This I...
1) because he wanted a bigger contract, which no one would offer him now, coming off his injury 2) Because being on a winning team raises...
FWIW, humans are stupid, and notoriously bad at these things. I would tend to trust the models more. I do think the winner in the West will have...
Correct. Your issue with that is? You probably inferred that picking the best team for his future meant choosing that team now...when it...
GS didn't have to be a long term future for him for playing for them to be beneficial to his career. Quite the opposite in fact. Playing on GS...

Maybe...but people downplay 'that era' WAY too much. Hakeem had some incredible blocks, but Wilt was taller, faster, and with a much higher...
FWIW, and to his credit...Shaq himself said this.
I agree...that's exactly my point. Horry has more rings, yet the comparison is stupid. Meaning judging players just by championships is ... stupid.
Which one was that? First one with the Lakers? Shaq definitely dominated in the Finals, but that was hardly an untalented team around him:...
Why does everybody judge a career just by championships? Was Robert Horry better than MJ? Did he have a better career? He has more rings, so I...
