We think alike.
Shaq can do some Icy-Hot promotions while he is there. They might even fund his trip.
Obama sends Shaq to Cuba as sports ambassador.
Castro sends Che to New York as shooting coach.
The insanity just keeps getting more insane.
Did he ever make a shot from 5 feet or beyond?

Greetings From Timbuk3
Just Another Movie
Presidential elections are planned distractions
To divert attention from the action behind the scenes
like a game of chess when the house is a mess
Or a petty money squabble when your marriage is in trouble
Or a football game when there’s rioting in the streets
It’s just another movie, another song and dance
Another poor sucker who never had a chance
It’s just another captain going down with his ship
Just another jerk, taking pride in his work
I was a poor magician; I could never understand
You can’t make tears disappear through sleight of hand
>From the bottom of my heart — off the top of my head
Words were pulled like rabbits from a hat but nothing was said
Now my freedom’s bought and paid for — it lights up my living room
I got nothing more to prove; I’ve got no reason to move
And when I’m tired of the program — when it’s taken it’s toll
I can press a button, change the channel by remote control
It would serve him right if Fidel put him to work in the cane fields.
Shaq converted to Islam. Of course Onama’s a friend of his.
I didn’t know we needed a ‘sports ambassador’ to cupid.
Obama is also fixing up the Hemingway home in Cuba . Obama’s future residence ?
Is this on the taxpayer dime?
Yes
Likely not!
:-)
Next up: Blocked shots.
Does he hold a candle to Olajuwan?
(Mutumbo is a one-dimensional player, too)
