The Nets recognize that they can?t stop Shaquille O?neal. Laura Price-Brown of Newsday writes that Jason Kidd admits, I'm only 212, You can't deny that guy the ball. He's going to get it wherever he wants to, whenever he wants to ... My little self is not going to deter him from doing what he wants to to do."

Does Kelvin Martin think he can stop Shaq?

"Me? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. What are y'all talking about? I'm not a center," Martin said. "You're not going to stop him. He's been in the league 10 years. I haven't ran across nobody that did it yet."

O?neal has averaged 26.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 2.47 blocks in the playoffs, and topped off the Western Conference finals with 35 points against the Kings in Game 7.

I mean, this guy, he's the Wilt Chamberlain of basketball right now," Kidd said. "He's changed the rules. He's changed the game. They've changed rules to the zone to try and put him in a box, and he's gone right through it ... What can you do with a guy who can do it all?"

Kidd thought a moment and came up with a solution.

"The best thing," he said, "is to get a construction crew out and detour him to San Diego - Route 5 or Highway 5, whatever that highway is."
