"SHAQ STOPPER"?
*snickersnicker*
C'mon now playa, let's keep it real. He played him better than most expected, but he far from stopped him. In fact, I didn't say this before, but I thought it the whole game...."Shaq is taking it easy on this cat on account of his supposed racist comments and the fact that dude's parents are in the stands." I pretty much settled on the thought that O'Neal was trying to make up for some things. Hey, I could be wrong too, but that's my angle and I'm sticking to it.
No doubt Yao is talented (I said he'd block Shaq a few times days before the game) and he's gonna get better. But, he's got a ways to go (like being able to be on the floor at least 40 minutes a game) before he's near Shaq'a level.
