LeBron James commented publicly on the Shaquille O'Neal signing for the first time on Thursday.

"Wow," said James about center Shaquille O'Neal. "Anytime you can get a guy like that. I was asked by [management], 'Would you like him to be a part of this team?' and I said, 'Of course.' I've never had a low-post presence since I've been in the league. I love it."

James also commented on the famous dunk that Nike tried to keep from being revealed.

"I never told anyone to confiscate any tapes," James said. "Nike has a no-videotape policy at pickup games. Now that LeBron is involved, it's blown up."

James added with a smile.

"It's a play that happens in basketball all the time. You can go on YouTube and see me being dunked on by a lot of guys. I like to call myself a shot-blocker, and [getting dunked on] tends to happen."
