Yes, he does win games. His Phoenix Suns has won at least 54 games in the regular season and his team has been in the Playoffs for the past 4 years. But wait, that is all nice and dandy, but where is the trip to the Finals? Championship ring?

With blockbuster trades going on in Los Angeles, one of Phoenix Suns's biggest rival, management thought that the team was in trouble. Especially after the Lakers had acquired Pau Gasol for virtually nothing by trading scrub Kwame Brown. Phoenix knew that in order to compete with the Lakers and in the Wester Conference against the likes of Gasol, Duncan, Dirk from the Mavs, and with the likes of Garnett in the Eastern Conference, Phoenix needed to add a big center.

The biggest center in the league. Aged, but still the largest big man out there. With Shaq the Suns rebounded better. Getting better on both ends of the floor. O'Neal also posted decent numbers with the Suns, averaging around 14 points and 9 rebounds while playing as a role player. He knows that his time is past, no longer the most dominate player, he
