According to reports early Wednesday, Shaq has been traded from the Miami Heat to the Phoenix Suns in exchange Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. Only two years removed from winning a World Championship with Miami, Shaq is having one of his most unproductive seasons in years and the Heat have compiled only 9 wins so far. The 14-time all-star who owns 4 NBA championships now faces the biggest challenge of his career, passing the required physical.

"It's gonna be tough," said Shaq in his trademark monotone mumble. "Physicals have never been the strong point in my game. But, I've been working on it in the offseason. I had a trainer practice with me the turn the head and cough while they grab your little Diesel about 50 times per day. But that one thing where they put you on that scale thing and tell you your weight, I always fail that."

The hype for this physical is building to massive proportions for the fans in Phoenix, and it's expected to be a sold out doctor's office. The physician he will be playing against in the physical will be Dr. Sameer Pendalooza, known for having some of the toughest tests in the business. "I've played against Dr. Pendalooza in the past," said former patient Mark Reynolds. "His biggest strength is the blood pressure test, that thing is brutal. But if you stay high on him, don't allow him to box you out, and also avoid saturated fats for a couple of weeks, you should be able to get past it to the basket."
