Shaquille O'Neal

Shaq's antics were on full display at the NBA Finals. No, the Big Cactus wasn't playing -- his Suns didn't even make the playoffs. But he ripped the East's coach (calling SVG the "master of panic") and rapped about the Finals MVP's inability to win without him. Good call on both, Big Aristotle. (AP Photo/Paul Connors)
