Shaq Is Retiring After 19 Seasons In The NBA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The day of June 1st 2011 will be remembered as the day that one of the biggest names in sports called it quits. You read that right,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Shaquille O'Neal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the man who won 4 NBA titles, is finally retiring. Shaq,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who turned 39 back in March,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], made it official earlier this afternoon by streaming his retirement message on the internet via Tout.
Throughout his career Shaq made his mark in the NBA record books. He is fifth all-time on the NBA scoring list with 28,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],596 points and twelfth all time in rebounds, racking in a total of 13,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],099. He won the NBA Finals MVP award 3 years in a row from 2000-2003. He was the 1993 Rookie of the Year while playing with the Orlando Magic. He was also a 15-time NBA All-Star and the list can go on and on.
He was a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but off the court was a different story. He is well known for his comedic genius and great dancing skills. He was known as one the league's greatest pranksters. He also gave himself a nickname for each of the cities that he played in; going by the name "Big Shaqtus" while in Phoenix playing for the Suns and most recently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Big Shamroq" while playing for the Boston Celtics. He even tried his luck with acting and rapping (I will let you be the judge on how that turned out). He also has become somewhat of a social media guru. On Shaq's Twitter account alone, there are over 3.8 million followers! Another gem that Shaq is known for is his willingness to help others. Whether it is the over $1 million given to the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of America or his help given to those in need after Hurricane Katrina,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Shaquille O'Neal is a gentle, kind and loving soul. Another little known fact is that he is also trained in self defense fighting. He knows fighting styles in boxing, Muy Thai,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wrestling and jiu-jitsu.
His final season was not a memorable one due to nagging injuries. He hurt his right Achilles on Christmas Day and never quite recovered. He was only able to compete in 2 of the last 35 games of the regular season and only clocked 10 ½ minutes in the playoffs. But lucky for Shaq,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], players are not remembered for one bad season.
Shaq is destined for the NBA Hall of Fame and only time will tell when they will call his name from the podium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Only a brief overview of his astounding career is needed to see how deserving he his of making it into the Hall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The Los Angeles Lakers already plan to share their respect for him by retiring his number 34 jersey in the near future,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
