Can Shaq "Win A Ring, For The King"

Can Shaq "Win A Ring For The King"As you may know, Shaquille O' Neal has recently been traded to the Cleveland Caviliers in exchange for Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic allthough the Suns dont recieve any real "Star Power" in this trade the still get some great role players, Sasha would fit in the Run N' Gun system great, while Ben Wallce can be traded for Tyson Chandler (As Rumoured). But this article isn't about the Suns. It is about weather Shaq can take the Lebron lead Caviliers to the NBA finals but this time win.Over the years, since Lebron was drafted you have seen the Caviliers drastically improve their supporting cast to help Lebron. The supporting cast is packed with shooters, which is basically the same deal with Magic and many other teams. The previous offseason you saw the Cavs trade for Mo Williams, which is no doubt in my mind a steal. Mo's game improved, mainly because Lebron takes off the pressure for his supporting cast. But Mo turned into an Allstar player. The supporting cast was great this year. Starters were championship team like. And calling the bench players good shooters is an understatement. But you have to wonder if the easy schedule was the main reason for their success. Thats when plalyoffs come around. And the Cavs were doing great, sure a couple of shakey games but it was great Cavs basketball. This was all until the Eastern Conference Finals. When lebrons drastically improved supporting cast. Completely shutting down. Mo Williams should of been their to help Lebron. Instead the Magic would focus on Lebron's Supporting Cast. And basically allow him to get 40/50 point games. Which was great for his stats, but the team was losing. Eventually they lost.You have to wonder if Shaq was playing for this years team. Shaq was having and incredible year. And when Amare' went down, things got better for him. Everyone knows Shaq is a playoff player. And how he has effected Superathletes to be even more successfull Eg. Kobe, Wade.You have to wonder if Shaq can have the same impact with Lebron. Or if his age has caught up with him, not allowing him to be the Second man, Mentor or Big Brother. I honestly believe Shaq still has the skills and mindset to take the Caviliers to the Finals again. But they wont get knocked off by the Lakers or the Spurs. They wont, this time they will win.

Shaq will "Win a ring, for the King".
