Last night Cleveland Cavaliers centre Shaquille O'Neal became the fifth best scorer ever in the NBA history. In the game (which the Cavaliers won 108-100) against the Toronto Raptors, the 37-year-old veteran reached 28.000 points scored with a successful basket in the first minute of the game. O'Neal joined the top 5 list headed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38.387 points, followed by Karl Malone (36.928), Michael Jordan (32.292) and Wilt Chamberlain (31.419).Known for his poor free throw shooting, "Shaq Attack" joked about his weakness, stating he "would be at 30,000 right now" had he converted the 5.000 free throws he missed throughout his 18-year career.
(Na noite de ontem, o poste dos Cleveland Cavaliers, Shaquille O'Neal, tornou-se o quinto melhor marcador de sempre da história da NBA. No encontro (vencido pelos Cavaliers por 108-100) frente aos Toronto Raptors, o veterano de 37 anos atingiu os 28,000 pontos marcados, através de um cesto convertido no primeiro minuto do jogo. O'Neal passou a fazer dos cinco primeiros jogadores da lista, liderada por Kareem Abdul-Jabbar com 38,387 pontos, seguindo-se Karl Malone (36,928), Michael Jordan (32,292) e Wilt Chamberlain (31,419).
Conhecido pela fraca percentagem da linha de lance livre, "Shaq Attack" comentou de forma bem humorada essa lacuna, afirmando que "estaria com 30,000 agora", caso tivesse convertido os 5,000 lances livres falhados ao longo de uma carreira de 18 anos.)
