“Shaq Not Coming Back”


Shaquille O’Neal announced via Twitter that he is retiring from basketball after 19 years in the NBA.  Shaq is leaving the game only a few years after his idol: his own body.

Shaq made the Twitter announcement in a video.  It was his first believable performance in a video.

In retirement Shaq won’t completely disappear from the world of basketball.  In fact, he plans to spend much of his time learning how to sink a free-throw.

After an Achilles tendon injury in January, there has been a fear that Shaq could re-injure himself if he did come back next year.  And the only thing more frightening than an aggravated injury is Shaq’s movie acting.
