I wonder what Greg Oden thinks of this?

Vivid Video (I can not confirm or deny I have ever watched a Vivid Video) CEO and Cleveland native Steven Hirsch claims they he purchased a bunch of “Shaq Items” including possible nude pictures and sex tapes.

His motives though aren’t what you think or so he says.

Instead of going all Ray J and Kim Kardashian on us with “Lil Shaq” Hirsch says he was doing it to protect the “Lil Diesel”. Here is what The Examiner says was Hirsch motivation:

Steven Hirsch — a Cleveland-native and Vivid owner — reportedly bought compromising media of Shaq that was allegedly being shopped around.

Hirsch claims just his love of Shaq and the Cleveland Cavs are what motivated him to purchase the media so it wouldn’t become public — but TMZ didn’t necessarily trust those motives as altruistic.

I love the phrase:

“COMPROMISING MEDIA”

I think I have some compromising media on my laptop, but I digress. TMZ thinks Hirsch is up to something and Greg Oden is wondering why no one in Portland loved him enough to protect him.

I guess sex tapes, nude athlete pics and Pants on the Ground is what is hot in 2010.  SMH.
