Why Are They Playing?

I knew they weren't going to divorce, from the get go. Shaq played the old "I'm in trouble so I'm going to ask for a divorce trick!" Sort of like the old "start an argument to get out with the boys trick!" He knew that Kobe had told the police and the world about his trickin and he thought he'd better strike first. Childish! Read what Shaunie said about the divorce:

During an interview about the launch of her new video-sharing Web site, Shaunie O’Neal told The Associated Press that the couple plans to stop divorce proceedings soon. “Neither one of us could probably answer why we were getting one in the first place,” Shaunie O’Neal said. Shaquille O’Neal filed for divorce in Miami-Dade Circuit Court in September 2007, after nearly five years of marriage. “Things have been going so great, that someone actually had to remind us that ‘Hey, you do remember those papers are still there.’ Literally, it was days ago,” Shaunie O’Neal said. “So, we’ve agreed that before we leave Florida in a few days we’ll make sure that that’s gone away.”
The couple has six children: four together, and each had one of their own before the Dec. 26, 2002, wedding. “The kids and I kind of learned about the divorce at the same time,” Shaunie O’Neal said. “So that was hard. That was probably the worst part of the whole thing, was being able to deal with how hurt the whole kids were."

I am happy they are staying together! Shaq needs to get his ish together!
