It's the same as Mick Jagger. As long as he keeps the Stones going, he is Mick Fuckin' Jagger of the Stones. But once he stops, he is a 70-year-old man nobody gives a shit about. Same for Shaq - once you give it up, no one pays any attention to you and you are on the outside. Remember that he has played this game his entire life - it's bound to be very, very hard to give up something that defines your very existance.
