One BIG Difference! Shaq apologized and had his meeting!

Shaquille O'Neal intends to sit down with Laker management next week for an exit meeting more than two weeks late, a team official said Friday.

When the Laker season ended abruptly May 15, in the Western Conference semifinals after three consecutive NBA championships, players were asked to attend brief conferences with Coach Phil Jackson and his staff.

O'Neal did not sign up for a time slot and did not show up on the day of the meetings, May 17. Jackson labeled O'Neal's absence "disrespectful."

O'Neal remains in Los Angeles, however, and has sent word that Jackson should expect him next week, on a day not yet specified.

The Laker center had said Thursday night that he was wrong to skip the season-ending meeting and that he hoped to remedy his error.

"I didn't go to the meeting and I'll take the punishment like a man," O'Neal told Fox Sports Net during an affair celebrating his involvement with the Port Authority police. "I don't make excuses and I'll never talk back. I'll never embarrass Phil. I messed up and when I mess up, I'll always clean up."

different situation. Shaq missed it but made up for it 2 weeks later but phil was still upset but they moved past it. KP could have easily done this. The second time phil was retiring which shaq knew im sure

He missed twice and it really upset Phil according to the quote from Phil. Doesnt sound like something that just slipped his mind.

did i say it slipped his mind or that he wasnt upset? However the still mended fences and won titles. KP totally disappeared and didnt respond to contact

Phil said this never happened in his 25-30 years of coaching.

You can forgive and FORGET when there's an apology!!! You don't think that could be why it slipped his mind??? JESUS!

I like KP a hell of a lot more than Phil but his actions these past two months have worried me

This Melo influences Kp. Maybe Melo put KP up to this so he could make PJ look like a REAL bad guy.

To me this is his influence and points to why Melo has to go NOw

He said it never happened. It happened. Two times. He wasn't telling the truth.

He's 70 and as I said unlike KP Shaq DID have his meeting and apologized. Why you want to keep glossing over this distinction to try and push Phil's a liar? It's weak and others in the Media are doing the same BS.

I think you hit the nail on the head. This is the beginning of a player going down the wrong path. This action by KP is surely the beginning of more drama in the future. When ever he doesn't like something pull drama. Whenever something doesn't go his way make more drama. It doesn't matter who the GM or President is KP and his posse will probably pull the same stunts.

He made a point of saying, it has never happened during the 25-30 years I have coached. He is quoted saying how upset he was when Shaq did it. I wasn't looking for this. It came up on my twitter feed. I was pretty surprised because Phil made a point of saying it had not happened to him. I do think it calls into question his credibility.

Not going to go into senility or not, but technically Shaq DID have his exit meeting with Phil. So technically Phil is correct. KP has abandoned the exit interview. He still sat down with Shaq.

You can't play cards against someone and not have them also play their hand. Porzingis and his brother played their hand. They skipped exit meetings. They don't want to communicate with Phil and Jeff. According to Steven A Smith they are trying to get Phil fired so that Melo and KP remain Knicks.

Well Phil's an 11 time champion who coached men, not immature brats. He's going to play his hand as well. This was done maginificently by Phil. The league is offering us filthy deals. I wouldn't do most of them, but don't tell me anyone would not want a 3 lottery picks on one night, with one of them a proven established starter in the league.

What if the Celtics offered us #3, Crowder and a future (non-lottery) first pick? That's two starters and we have our own #8.
What if the Lakers offered us #2, Randle and Clarkson?
What if the Suns offered us #4 and Booker (I don't think they would)?

You have to consider these deals. Especially if someone is being like KP. There is nothing KP is doing that will move the Knicks forward. He wants to win? How about tell that straight to Phil's face. How about tell Phil he doesn't want Melo traded? That's a man move. KP has pulled an immature brat move. He should suffer the consequences.

When your highest paid and best player is not a winner or a competitor and doesn't care about the franchise then it's going to create rot all over. By watching a constant defying and usurping within the Knicks players ranks, mostly by Melo, it's infected players like KP. KP came into the league impressionable. From up top he heard 'ball movement and triangle'. Fish and Melo blatantly spat at that and taught KP this type of attitude towards guys like Phil is cool.

Know how I know it's not Phil who is wrong? Melo has an entire career now of being a loser who is not willing to follow the game plan. George Karl called him out on it. He got D'antoni fired over it. D'antoni just won COTY and Karl is a coaching legend.

Melo has got to go and with the way KP has been acting, give me one good reason why fielding offers for him isn't a good move. Say this with me people 'In the NBA assets are largely liquid'.

The genius of dealing KP is that enough GMs might think Phil actually is incompetent that we can sell high.
