I want to say that I'm shocked, but I'm really not. I think everyone knew that it was just a matter of time...it went from if to when, especially in these last couple of years.

Not shocked. he has kind of milked it the last couple of years to try and get another ring, but the Diesel has no steam left in it. He was never one of my favorites, but I grew to like him as his career wound down. Could be the last great true center.

He needs to endorse more video games now. I want Shaq-Fu 2: Return of The Diesel. In fact, make it a TV series too.

I didn't really follow Shaq's career, but I'm surprised that he stayed as long as he did.

An end of an era. Only Jason Kidd, Grant Hill and Kevin Garnett are left from the early-mid 90s.

Celtics were better when he was on the floor, I am surprised he didnt give it another shot especially with how sadly/softly he finished the year.
