#nba +6
Not that I'm going to get too worked up about the possibility. Not that I can foresee Shaq, with roughly zero front-office qualifications, coming anywhere close to getting the job. Marc Stein(via ESPN.com) , who alternatively adds of the Magic GM search: "Don't have a clue how the Magic plan to convince Boston to let Doc [Rivers] out of his contract, but why let details get in the way? The mere idea is the smartest we've heard out of Orlando in years."

The Shaq Story You Haven't Heard on 4/6/11 | Tipped by Quickish |

The Celtics were in town for a game with the Trail Blazers, and the way Oberst tells it, guards Von Wafer and Nate Robinson were eyeing his other half as though she were on the dessert menu. A protective boyfriend, Oberst mentioned the staring to his buddy, who called Wafer and Robinson over to his table and yelled, "If you keep checking out Connar's girl, I'm gonna kick your (behind)!" They backed off. When Shaquille O’Neal threatens you, after all, you listen. Matt Calkins(via Columbian) with the story of Shaq's lasting impact on one family.

He was always bigger than life. Upon announcing his retirement he told ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, "I tried to make people happy, and I tried to have fun. I think I did both." Carve it on his NBA gravestone. In an era of hype and image and theatrical noise, nobody did it better than Shaq. And it’s possible, actually, that nobody ever will. Bruce Arthur(via National Post)

All Shaq nicknames, including Superman, are retired. O'Neal then names himself the "Big AARP" Classic.
(Slam's Marcel Mutoni)

Kind of incredible that Shaq's showing remorse over missing free throws and being out of shape. He gets it.
(The Basketball Jones' Trey Kerby)

After Stephen A. Smith asked Shaq of his greatest regret, Shaq replied with a laugh: "Not knockin' yo' ass out." ... I already miss him.
(ChicagoNow.com's Alex Sonty)

Final words from Shaq at his press conference: "Again, we're gonna have lunch, so stick around and have lunch." Hahahahahaha!

Shaq Not Done Yet? on 2/6/11 | Tipped by Quickish |
#shaq +4
Yes, Shaq sounded so sure that this is forever, but he still thinks he can play, and that Achilles will feel better in a few months and he’ll want to hear those cheers again. Somewhere, sometime, you still get the feeling that he will make one more bid for a dramatic comeback, one more late-season run to be Shaq again. Adrian Wojnarowski(via Yahoo Sports)
