Shaq Uncut

The book I am reading right now is Shaq Uncut. It is Shaquille O'Neal's new autobiography. I am about halfway through it right now, and so far it has been pretty entertaining. But, like most autobiographies, I am not sure how much is true. One thing that I noticed is that Shaq seems incredibly un-hummble. Every page is like "what was Kobe thinking, trying to be the leader when the big man was clearly in charge?" Or, "35 points and 15 rebounds against Portland, on to the next round." But he forgot to mention that Derek Fisher hit a buzzer-beater and averaged a double double, and Kobe played like Kobe. Some of my favorite parts were when Shaq complained about all the different groups after him. In a Taco Bell commercial, he had to crane his neck to get the tacos and his neck got stuck sideways. So people with a neck syndrome went after The Big Aristotle. In another Taco Bell commercial he bites a taco and his body catches fire. So people with body burns went after him. And as he says, PETA was always out to get him. I think that this is a pretty good book, which is certainly entertaining. I would recommend this to sports fans.
