It's Over For Shaquille O'Neal?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:31:00 GMT

Shaquille O'Neal claims he's going to play out the remainder of his contract and then, hang up his hat, er, ball - you know what I mean.

Shaq said, "My basketball career will be over in 735 days, and being an educated man, I've always had things to fall back on. So one of my options is law enforcement. But if Jerry Demings is going to be the sheriff I would love to work for him."

So will the Phoenix Suns player make a good cop? He's got that little stalking allegation hanging over his head right now (I know, innocent until proven guilty), so he'll have to have that cleared up first (his accuser sounds like she's got issues too, not all innocent herself). The guy is obviously a multi-millionaire, why not just sit back and enjoy your fortune with your young family? Be a stay-at-home-dad to those four kids, that sounds like fun!

I don't follow basketball at all (I know there's a ball, dribbling, passing and a net involved), so I have no idea if sports fans will be happy that Shaq is leaving or sad? I've heard rumblings that people are not happy that he's staying on for the remainder. What's the scoop?

Good luck (well in two-ish years) with your new career (as a cop?).

Stalking Allegations - Shaquille O'Neal The Next Kobe Bryant?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:08:00 GMT

Is basketball star, Shaquille O'Neal becoming the next Kobe Bryant? With a restraining order slapped against him, for alleged harassment and threatening bodily harm - by Alexis Miller, an Atlanta hip hop artist, who reportedly had an affair with O'Neal - it's as if the Phoenix Suns player is trading places with Kobe Bryant. Bryant had his own sexual harassment/assault issues, starting back in 2003.

Kobe was accused and arrested for sexually assaulting a 19-year-old hotel employee - Katelyn Faber. Faber accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room the night before he was to have knee surgery. Bryant admitted to a sexual encounter with the teenager but denied the rape accusation.

Although the case was dropped in 2004 by prosecutors after Faber refused to testify at trial, the allegations had tarnished his reputation and career. His numerous endorsements were terminated. Sales figures from NBA merchandisers dropped from previous figures.

Kobe was quoted as saying during the investigation, "he should have done what Shaq does.... that Shaq would pay his women not to say anything and that O'Neal already had paid up to $1 million 'for situations like this.'" This caused friction and controversy between the two as they were teammates at the time.

Bryant agreed to apologize to Faber after the case was dropped and after a civil lawsuit was filed by Faber, it was settled and the details not made public. But after that, things started to look up - his endorsement deals resumed and now over the last few months, his career has been on the up. He won the 2007-08 regular season MVP and helped his teams advance to the NBA finals. He also received a gold medal with "Redeem Team" USA.

Oh and his public relations peeps made sure ABC/ESPN caught shots of him hugging his little girl - it was seen around the world. That'll melt the hearts of the public and forget all of that other 'stuff.'

Now it's as if the tables have turned - Kobe is well on his way back 'up,' and Shaq is well on his way 'down.'

With the restraining order against him [O'Neal], not to mention his, uh, often misunderstood style of rap and problems in his marriage, will his career suffer? And what about his wife? Just one week before the stalking allegations, Shaq's wife , Shaunie, made a statement that the couple were working things out. She might change her mind now. And this must be hard on the children - the couple have four children together - Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir and Me'arah, from ages 8 to 2 - and each have a child from a previous relationship - Shaunie has a son Myles, 11, and O'Neal has a 12-year-old daughter, Taahirah.

Hopefully the allegations aren't true - but let's not hold our breath.

Shaquille O'Neal's Accuser Alexis Miller Accused Of Stalking!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:01:00 GMT

There might be something fishy going on here. Shaquille O'Neal's accuser Alexis Miller filed a restraining order against the Phoenix Suns star for threats and heavy breathing phone calls, among other things. She alleges she is afraid for herself and her young son. However, Ms. Miller, who also goes by her rap name, MaryJane, might not be so innocent herself....

TMZ uncovered court papers filed last year by a chick named Lakisha Renae Hall. A judge ordered Miller to stay 500 yards away from Hall and to have zero contact with her.

As well, O'Neal isn't the only guy to get on Miller's war path. In October of '07, Alexis "MaryJane" Miller tried to get a restraining order against Jonathan Stubbs for, get this - stalking her. She claims he pulled a gun, shot it once and yelled, "Who were you with?"

The order was dropped because Ms. Miller didn't follow through. Hmm, something smells bad here.

It gets better and better....we'll keep you posted.

Gives new meaning to the saying 'Shaq Attack': Alexis Miller, an Atlanta hip hop artist also known as MaryJane, has been granted a temporary restraining order against NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. According to Miller, she recently ended a 6-8 month relationship with O'Neal and since then the Phoenix Suns star has harassed and threatened her with bodily harm. Miller says she fears for the safety of herself, her family and her young son.

Among the allegations are claims that O'Neal made threatening phone calls to Miller in which he told her he was planning to pay performers $50,000 not to work with her.

An Atlanta judge granted the restraining order, which states that O'Neal is prohibited from having any contact with or coming within 200 yards of Miller or her 19-month-old son. Both Miller and O'Neal will appear before a judge on September 4 to determine if the restrictions should remain in place.

O'Neal filed for divorce from wife Shaunie in 2007, but they had appeared to reconcile in recent weeks.
