Count on Laker Fans to Back Their Shaq

Didn’t Ed Sather (Nov. 15) contradict himself when he said Shaquille O’Neal is a low-skill player with minimal talent but the Lakers would finish near the bottom of the division without him?

I am 100% sure that the Lakers would accept any other low-skilled players who can average 28 points, block four or five shots, take down 10 to 15 rebounds, and alter 10 to 15 shots a game.

I just read reader Ed Sather’s comments. He calls Shaq a “low-skill player” of “minimal talent.” Then he goes on to state that “there are intelligent sports fans somewhere in the City of Angels.” Obviously, he wasn’t referring to himself.
