I wondered what is so great about Turkey that they think they can get A.I. one year and Shaq the next. So I went to Wikipedia and found this pic of downtown Istanbul.
Every time I think about Turkey, this is what came to mind.
I want the knife………………..PLEASE…………
Classic stuff! Here is what they are saying about Shaq Diesel:
Seref Yalcin said he has met with O’Neal in the United States and the future Hall of Famer told him, “I want to be a champion this season with Boston. But I’m coming to Turkey next year.”
“Some people will still come out and say ‘Shaq won’t come to Turkey’,” Yalcin added. “But the chances are very high.”
Shaq is having a stellar season for the Celtics so far, averaging 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds, while shooting 69 percent from the field.
Unlike Iverson I think Shaq’s post career options will be plenty, so I don’t think he will be desperate enough to go find the The Golden Child, but it keeps the Turkish team in the news.
I fully expect them to say Kobe is coming next (Vince Carter should be there soon).
I think once all these players turn 40, they should just form a Super Team and go on a globetrotting tour in Europe. I am going to copyright that idea before someone steals it.
