Sam Smith of The Chicago Tribune has gotten himself quite a bit of publicity in the last few days. He recently floated two baseless trade rumors in the paper about Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal; the two rumors were denied vehemently by both sides. Shaq has now taken things a step further by calling out the writer.
"Sam has no credibility after this, whatsoever."

"Sam is an idiot -- i-d-o-u-t -- idiot."
We know, Shaq. We know.

If I were Sam Smith, I would avoid crossing paths with Shaquille for the next little while. Actually, make that forever.
"I promise he wouldn't say that to my face in a dark alley, where it's just me and him and no witnesses. I guarantee he wouldn't say that to me, guarantee it." O'Neal said.
Um, Shaq, I don't think anyone would dare to say anything to you in a dark alley.
