Initially, Shaquille O'Neal wanted to say, "I'll help you deal with Kevin Garnett and Perkins."
But Su Wan had hung up on him twice, making him realize just how much Su Wan detested him.
He believed that if he had said that, Su Wan would immediately respond with, "I don't need it!"
And then hang up right away.
So, he changed his approach.
Since he had decided to play the villain, why bother with a facade?
Throw it out!
Shaquille lowered his stance and shared his predicament.
Su Wan asked, "Why should I help you?"
Shaquille O'Neal said, "Think about it, Su. LeBron couldn't lead me to a championship, yet I took him to the Eastern Conference Finals! But you led me to a championship. Doesn't that put LeBron down again? When that happens, the Cleveland media will probably regret it even more!"
O'Neal had precisely grasped what Su Wan was thinking.
He had two main passions:
To win championships surpassing Michael Jordan and to "slap the face" of Cleveland.
