Superman Hangs Up the Cape

Today, we found out that we must say goodbye to the Deisel. Shaq has given us so many great memories, from his forgettable rap music, hilarious(boring) commericals, & of course Kazaam!

In all seriousness, I was not shocked but saddened by Shaq's retirement announcement today. He has helped change the game with his talent & unapologetic behavior on & off the court. No doubt, Shaq will be in the Hall of Fame. The guys has four NBA titles, one MVP trophy, three finals MVP trophies, & the eighth-most points in league history.


Even though O'Neal's shine seemed to dwindle towards the end of his career, he has set a new bar on what a NBA superstar should be. Since being the number one pick in the NBA to the Orlando Magic in 1992, Shaq has had the attention of the world & never let go. He snabbed rookie of the year his first season. From then on of course he went on to have a great run with the Orlando Magic but obviously needed a team that can handle him.

On to the Lakers he went & started a so called dynasty. As Shaq joined the Lakers, so did the bandwagoners. Making the Lakers the most hated team in the NBA. Every championship they won, it made more & more of me think why? Well, with someone like Shaq, who won the MVP trophy in 2000. It was bound to be some ruckus in the west. Too bad it didn't work out between Shaq & Kobe but he did go on to win another championship with Dwayne Wade in 2006.

Through his many contributions to T.V., education, law enforcement, & child organizations. Shaq is the readl deal. He knew how to play the game on & off the court. Some should take some notes from this guy.
I know he can be annoying at times but there is only one Shaq & it would take some big shoes (size 23) to fill.

Thanks for the memories Shaq!
