"I'm going to have to find the right mind-set, how to prepare for games and everything else," said Ilgauskas, noting that the reduced workload may help him as the season progresses. "It is something I have to learn on the fly because I've been starting for so long. I'm 34 and I want to win a championship, so whatever helps me with that I'm all for it."
He is, in fact, a fan of O'Neal's.
"I've always been high on Shaq and he's the best center I ever played against," Ilgauskas said. "So if anyone is going to replace me in the starting lineup, then I don't mind it being him at all. [But] somebody else is going to have to guard him in practice or I won't last until Christmas."

I am real excited about our ability to exploit the center position this season with the two very different types of “game” Z and Shaq offer.

Z is a complete class act
Can’t say enough good things about the man’s character. His crack about practicing against O’Neal is pretty funny, too
