When Shaq signed his shoe deal with Exeter he said he did it to give the less fortunate an opportunity to own a signature shoe. Laughing about how 35,000 means nothing to him seems kind of hypocritical of him.

Have you ever told a cashier to keep the change or dropped a dime or quarter and said "#*+% it, I'm not picking that up".  I'm sure there are plenty of homeless dudes who would $$$% a kidney for all the loose change we "throw away", but I don't here you going to war about that.

Going to war? Jesus.

I don't see the parallel, I'm sorry.  I could see your point if I went outside to laugh and joke about me dropping a meaningless dime to a homeless man.

He didnt go outside though. In fact, he was in a LOCKER ROOM. There were probably a few naked dudes 2 feet away, we gotta cut these people some slack at some point.
Its not like he called a press conference to laugh at poor people. Dude was just having a little bit of fun...at the expense at how petty the NBA has become.

Look, I'm not disgusted or anything by Shaq. I am not any less of a Shaq fan now than I was prior to reading this story or anything. I was just saying it comes across as tacky.  Scoffing at a sum of cash the people he has catered to would consider great is pretty tacky. 

Also, you can't say that he didn't do it in front of a bunch of people when there is a camera filming.  That's not the same at all.

I think he was more laughing at the pettiness of the punishment (getting fined for talking about refs) than the amount of money and people who don't make as much. I think you're really reaching
