08:08 AM ET 08.18 | Shaquille O'Neal doesn't disappoint if you were looking for a few headlines from his new book. Broken down chronologically, Shaq Uncut, published by the Hachette Book Group, is packed with O'Neal's insight and anecdotes from his playing career. None of it is currently as relevant as Shaq's take on what caused Rajon Rondo's post-Perkins trade slump. From the book: In early March some of the guys went to the museum of Fine Arts for a fundraiser and got to hang with President Barack Obama. Everyone was a little bit in awe. The President turns to Ray, points at Rondo, and says, "Hey, Ray, why don't you teach this kid how to shoot?" Everyone starts laughing. ... Rondo smiled and went along with all of it, but KG told me he could see it in his eyes. It bothered Rondo. It killed him.

What the truth hurts? Rondo can't shoot to save a life. His game is slashing to the basket and help other players get their shot. That's what a point gaurd does.

I think Obama is a great guy, but he needs to get something going and soon or his goose is cooked. The mileage he can get from Bin Laden is not limitless.

I agree with you as well. I don't know what else he can do though. He has my vote regardless.

Wow Shaq if this is going to be your line of entertainment, I can say I'm already bored. Just to think they are going to let you commentate.

Can anybody please explain to me how George W. Bush escaped all of this madness and is not held accountable? Didn't most of the problems encountered by the Obama administration begin under Bush's watch and command? This dude inherited a tremendous mess and is now bearing the brunt of the blame.
