Shaq Enjoying A Quiet Summer
"The way I like it," the Miami Heat center said Saturday. Other than making a trip to China for an endorsement deal with a sneaker company and appearing at a golf tournament hosted by Heat teammate Alonzo Mourning, O'Neal has spent the last two months largely shunning the spotlight. Most of his time off has been with his six kids, whose names are freshly tattooed on his mammoth wrists. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Magic GM Dismisses Dooling Rumors
"It doesn't take a genius to see we're loaded," Smith said Thursday of Orlando's backcourt. "There's nothing to it. [Dooling] is not going anywhere. We like him. We haven't talked to [the Heat].

Wade had the night off, after helping the U.S. rally a day earlier in the win against Italy. The NBA finals MVP for the Heat stood and waved, drawing a loud roar. "That was a first for me," Wade said. "It was a great experience, though. We play our heart out here to entertain. We gained some fans on this trip." Chris Bosh scored 20 points and LeBron James added 17 in limited duty for the U.S. team, which remained unbeaten.

Dwyane Wade rose to acknowledge the crowd chanting his name with 4 minutes left, the only time he got off the bench as the United States routed Senegal 103-58 Thursday to advance to the second round of the world championships.
