This story out of Miami is 10 days old, but well worth reporting on. Apparently Shaquille O’Neal’s home has huge spotlights that are bothering the neighbors.

“My problem is I’ve got this beautiful condo with a great view and I’ve lost my view thanks to Shaquille O’Neal,” Kim Suereth said. “It feels like I’m living across from a baseball stadium and that’s not what I paid for. I paid a lot of money for this property.”

Suereth said he has tried to get the lights put out, but after two visits to the Miami Heat basketball star’s house and two letters, Suereth decided to fight fire with fire.

“I got a spotlight myself and shined it on him last night and today knocking on my door was code enforcement from the city of Miami and the city of Miami Beach, threatening to cite me and that I would be fined $5,000 if I did it again,” Suereth said.

There’s so much happening in this story, we really can’t do it justice. Shaq has huge spotlights that bother everybody. The neighbors have to resort to retaliatory spotlights, which they are then in trouble for getting. The authorities won’t do anything because it’s Shaq. The best, though, is when the media tries to ask him about it all:

NBC 6’s Tom Llamas stopped by O’Neal’s house to ask him about the lights.

“Get away from my house. What do you want?” O’Neal responded through an intercom outside the gate of his home.

We can all picture the inevitable conclusion to this - Shaq standing out on his patio hurling gigantic boulders across the bay that leave nothing but huge piles of rubble where his neighbors’ homes used to be. When the cops come to check it out, he says “go away” in that distinctive Shaq tone, and that’s that.
