Description

After winning a title on the Heat in 2006, Shaq and Pat Riley couldn't hold it together and turned on each other pretty fast. I guess when you're used to winning, you really can't tolerate losing and someone must be blamed. For Riley, Shaq fit the bill. And for Shaq, well, how dare Pat Riley do such a thing. So, naturally, you get two guys in each other faces ready to punch each other because Jason Williams was late to practice one day. In other words, you get beef. Please enjoy this heaping helping of Miami beef.
