''All they do is flop and the referees fall for it,'' O'Neal said. ``That's not basketball. Big men, Bill Russell and Bill Walton, they should be ashamed to even watch the game.''

Fortson took offense and told reporters this week:

''Write this down: If he can't get two or three feet under the basket, he is ineffective,'' Fortson said of O'Neal. ``My goal is to keep him out of the paint. That is easier said than done. But I am going to try to keep him out of the paint and see how good he is.

``I challenge him to take a jump hook, take a couple jump shots. I bet you he can't do that. Of course he is going to complain about flopping because he has to be inside to score buckets.

If he doesn't get inside to score buckets, he might as well give the ball to Dwyane Wade and move.''

After a workout Saturday, O'Neal was asked to comment on Fortson's remarks, and, boy, did he oblige.

''Tell him to average more than eight points,'' O'Neal said. (Fortson actually averages nine). ``That [expletive] knows what he was doing.''

Former Warrior Fortson obliged as well... scored 18 and 9 on 5-7 shooting in a Seattle win Razz Now why can't the W get any players to tell a reporter to "write this down"? lol
