Robert Ross v. Shaquille O'Neal In Heavy Weight Grudge Match?

Retirement can be boring. Perhaps even for NBA greats like Shaquille O'Neal who retired after the 2010-1011 season at the ripe old age of 39. However, I sincerely doubt any retiree wants to spend his time defending lawsuits. Especially a lawsuit filed by a so called "friend." Robert Ross, a former friend of Shaquille O'Neal, has filed a lawsuit accusing the recent retiree of asking him to kill several people. TMZ.com. Ross is no angel. He himself is allegedly a former gang member. Among the allegations, the Ross is claiming that O'Neal was plotting to have him kidnapped by gang members. It is doubtful whether Ross will be taken seriously. He was apparently labelled by LAPD as a less then desirable informant. "undesirable informant".

O'Neal's lawyer apparently agrees with the LAPD assessment. "The outlandish claims by Robert Ross in his civil complaint are pure fiction," Michael J. Kump told TMZ.
Ross accuses O'Neal of telling him to murder a record producer, a gang member and a woman O'Neal had once impregnated. It is unclear whether the lawsuit will delay O'Neal joining the Turner Sports team. Turner Sports . For more legal talk by O'Neal's counsel you can follow this link: Lawyer-denies-claim.

Update 7-22-11: Robert Ross apparently was a record producer. He allegedly threatened Shaquille O'Neal that he would release a "sex tape" of the big guy. Fortunately, the tape apparently did not exist.

If he wanted such things done I would think he could find a professional instead of this clown with his connections and wealth.

Secrets: Good to hear from you. Actually, we covered Casey Anthony and actually had foreshadowed the verdict long before the trial. The prosecutor seemed to succomb to media pressure and over charged for what evidence they actually could prove.
