Shaquille O'Neal: "It's funny to me that people that don't have rings are saying, 'Oh, he's a ring chaser.' No, he's continuance chasing. He's chasing to continue to be great, to continue to add legacy to his book. Listen, he doesn't really know he has, but you and I know when this thing is over, it's over. You can't come back. Once you retire, once your body says I can't go no more, it's over. This guy feels he has two, three years left. Why not try to get another championship? I did it. After I won three in a row and then won one in Miami, hey, towards the end of my career, let me go play with Paul and KG and you know, be like the fourth guy and rebound and set picks and you know, see if I can win one. And you know, that's what he's doing."
