Is anybody else fed up with these ads by Shaquille O’neal in which he endorses how effective Icy Hot is?

If Icy Hot is so effective, then why does Shaq play like two minutes a season before succumbing to injury?

Seriously, the last time Shaq made any real contribution to a team for more than a quarter of a game was when he played for the Miami Heat and helped them, primarily through the efforts of Dwayne Wade, to win their franchise’s first NBA championship.

In fact, if memory serves me correctly, the last time he managed to play a full season was when he was with the Los Angeles Lakers, and led them to three consecutive championships.  Even then, he sat out most of the season, usually until after Christmas, just in time for the playoffs to roll around.

I swear, every time he changes teams, it seems like he updates that commercial, and with every team change it becomes more and more apparent that father time does not want him to play anymore.

Icy Hot should find another candidate who has actually played through pain, that might be a good endorsement for how effective their product is.  Because as of right now, I’m not convinced it is all that effective.  I think that a good spokesperson would be someone like Paul Pierce, Dwayne Wade, or Kobe Bryant.  All of those guys have one championships fairly recently, and each one has had to battle through injury at some point in their career.  As of right now, they are all still playing.  The same cannot be said for Shaq.
