Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal has had no problem deferring to his younger teammates.

O'Neal is averaging just 8.4 shots per game. In addition he's averaging career-lows in points (10.3), rebounds (7.1) and field goal percentage (51%).

"Nobody wants to see a 37-, 38-year-old man take 20 or 30 shots," Shaq said. "LeBron (James) is going to take most of the shots. I accept that role.

"If I was 27 or 28, I'd probably have a problem with that. That's how it is now. He's the man. He's going to take most of the shots."
