Brian Hill was too tired to get into a verbal fight with Shaq: "Until you slim down, just let Roger carry your picture frame onto the court."
"Ah! Kill me now, I've had enough!" O'Neal wailed like a giant baby, rolling on the locker room carpet.
Really, it was hard to imagine a 23-year-old, seven-footer acting like a three-year-old denied an excavator, throwing a tantrum on the floor.
But this tactic was utterly ineffective on Brian Hill; he wasn't Phil Jackson, the kind of coach who would let Shaq slack off.
Seeing Brian Hill walk out of the locker room, O'Neal sighed as he lay on the floor: "What a heartless man, just walks away with his pants in his hands."
