Better use of the bench?


Let's see what multi-million dollar athlete can exploit their bench more. Lebron's photoshoot is funny. It's funny, but now Shaq is trying to outwit Lebron's pre-game photoshoot by usinq his Pheonix suns teammates as bowling pins. 

Can you picture a 7-foot man trying to choreograph a bowling sequence? It probably goes something like this:

Shaq (in ultra-deep voice): Hey. Guys. Here's what we're gonna do. Ok. Bowling. You guys are the pins. I bowl, you fall. K?

Steve Nash (Slightly high, yet still 'I'm a workhorse' type of voice): Uh, hey, Shaquille. Yeah, I don't mean to...well, I just think, no offense, that we should probably be more concerned with trying to make the 8th and final spot in the playoffs instead of doing this stupid pre-game bowling thing. 

Shaq (Even deeper voice): You're not a pin. WE don't need you.  

Steve Nash: Ok, Shaq, whatever...I'm just gonna go out there, like I do night after night, and continue to tear defenses apart. Good luck with your bowling, weirdo. 

At least the cavs' photoshoot includes starters, making it look more like Lebron isn't forcing them to participate. Shaq's pins include: Louis Amundson, Goran Dragic, Jared Dudley, Robin Lopez, Stromile Swift, and Alando Tucker. It would be funny if one of the pins, say Goran Dragic, decided to deviate from the plan and not fall down. Shaq doesn't always bowl strikes! 

What does a guy like Wally Szczerbiak do in these situations...? Play the game.
