Great life in the shadows of Shaq and Wade.
Byline: Dan Le Batard
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. _ It is an interesting place to make a living, in the shadows of Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade.
It has emboldened mouthy Damon Jones, who is either charming or obnoxious, depending on which team you cheer.
It has given obvious confidence to lovable jitterbug Keyon Dooling, who pokes fun at himself and flexes like Alonzo Mourning on behalf of ``skinny people everywhere.''
It has skyrocketed the value of Udonis Haslem, who quietly and proudly and gracefully does all the janitorial work with the knowledge he's about to become a very wealthy man.
It has made veterans Christian Laettner and Alonzo Mourning and Steve Smith and Eddie Jones profoundly grateful for how much winning has fallen in their laps and how easy the game has become.
And it has made coach Stan Van Grumpy even more miserable than usual because he knows just how much is expected now that Miami is closer to that championship parade down Biscayne Boulevard than before.
