The Showdown

It all started on a stormy Sunday afternoon in Miami Heat, it was the 2012 NBA Champions taking on the Los Angeles Lakers. It started with Charles Barkly saying to Shaq "What are your thoughts on this game Shaq? I know you were a part of both of these teams at one point of your career" Shaq replies "Ha-ha, Yes Charles I have been a part of both of these teams, but today I think the Miami Heat will take home the W."

Charles replies "Nothing much, me and Shaq were talking about your game today, and Shaq thinks that you guys will lose to the Miami Heat today. "Oh really Shaq why do you think so?" says Kobe. Shaq replies "well Shaq you guys are in a big slump, Howard is missing almost every free throw , Nash is injured and backup point guard, Meeks is not scoring at all you guys are not taking any W's, MY POINT!" Exclaims Shaq. Shaq say's you know what let's get LeBron in this too. *Phone Ringing* "Hello" says LeBron. "Sup LeBron this is Shaq and we got Kobe on the line too. So Kobe and Charles think that you guys will lose today to the Lakers "HAHA!" Exclaims LeBron. "The Lakers are nothing compared to us." Kobe says "We
