Shaquille O'Neal has announced via Twitter that he is retiring from the NBA. His tweet included a 16-second video in which he says, ''We did it; 19 years, baby. Thank you very much. That's why I'm telling you first: I'm about to retire. Love you. Talk to you soon.''
Shaq is known as a prankster so I guess only time will tell if this retiring announcement is true.
''To my knowledge, he has not informed any of us that he's retiring,'' Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said.
If he goes, O'Neal retires fifth all-time with 28,596 points, 12th with 13,099 rebounds and second only to Artis Gilmore among players with more than 2,000 baskets with a .582 field goal percentage.
O'Neal's contributions to basketball went far beyond his presence on the court.
