...Aristotle, Shaq Diesel, Superman--by any name, Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal is still a force. The Heat begin their defense of the NBA title this week, and Shaq will be chasing his fifth championship (he had three with the Los Angeles Lakers in addition to the one last year with Miami). O'Neal, 34, called TIME's Sean Gregory to talk about the NBA's controversial new ball, his police ambitions and the coach he wants to see in a foxhole...

But the Greeks countered by drawing amped-up U.S. defenders out high, and slipping their big men - like 6-10, 280-pound baby-Shaq center Sofoklis Schortsanitis - down low, where they were open for easy buckets (Schortsanitis finished with 14 points on 6 of 7 shooting).
