The Blazers defeated the Suns on Thursday night, dealing a serious blow to their playoff hopes, but center Shaquille O'Neal was still joking afterward.
When asked what he thought of Oden, O'Neal told HoopsWorld: "I don't. I'm a Shogun. You can't ask me about a low level ninja. I still have to worry about Yao Ming, Dwight Howard."
