Either way dudes a legend and can do whatever he wants in my opinion.</div></blockquote>

	Dude was recently battling Leukemia so I'll give him a pass on the grouchiness.<br />
	<br />
	He's facing mortality and seeing other, lesser players, get accolades he feels he deserves.<br />
	<br />
	And he's guilty of that unforgivable crime.....he's "old".</div></blockquote>

	I wasn't calling him a grouch, just pointing out that while Shaq seemed to revel in his career Kareem just never seemed to take much joy in his.  I admire him in a lot of ways and I also understand the generational differences that are in play here.<br />

	Bill Russell is similar in some ways, but Russell always had a large number of close friends and was able to express great joy at times on the court and off.   Russell also seems to have managed to find a lot more happiness in his old age than Kareem is finding in his.
