Not to mention, Shaq was going to make $30.6 million this year and had agreed to a 5 yr/$125 mil extension, but went back to the Heat, and told them to cut it to $100 mil so they could pull this deal off, and in the next few years, he won't be the highest paid player anymore, even Kobe will pass him. Everyone says he has such a big ego, if he did, he wouldn't let Kobe, his arch-nemisis, make more money than him, all he cares about is winning, not money.
