Lakers, Magic playing in Shaq's shadow (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Shaquille O'Neal last wore an Orlando Magic uniform in 1996. He suited up for the final time with the Los Angeles Lakers five years ago. Come to think of it, he hasn't played a game for any team in two months. And yet, he's been one of the biggest stars of the NBA finals. The series has been played in Shaq's shadow, with the center's enormous footprints all over it.
