Shaquille O'Neal announces his retirement

Hall of Fame career. Enjoy your retirement Shaq.

Shaquille O'Neal announces his retirement after 19 seasons - ESPN Boston (http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nba/news/story?id=6615886)

It was time. He wasn't a conrtibutor anymore. I think he'll land a good job in TV somewhere. He's a pretty entertaining dude.

One of the most dominant centers ever.

No surprise there. He's had a great career and the time has come for him to move on. It may be a while before the game sees another big like him. Wish the big fellow well in his retirement.

Heck of a career for the big fella.

I suspected he was gonna retire when the injury bug started getting him. Guy still came to play every single time, but he couldnt keep healthy.

One of the best to ever play the game. Hall of fame no doubt, and i'm sure he can get into TV, movies, etc, because of his personality...cool guy too.

Good luck Shaq, thanks for the memories!!

If he hadn't missed 8,000 foul shots, he could be in the discussion of greatest ever, at least in terms of scoring.

He should have retired after he won the championship in Miami. Been long overdue. Then again, if I had a guaranteed contract that paid me what he got paid, I'd kept playing too...lol

This might be the greatest retirement press conference I've ever seen

One of the most dominant players in league history. Good for him now I'm waiting for Kazaam 2!!
