Shaquille O’Neal took to Twitter today to announce that after playing basketball professionally for 19 years he is going to retire. This is a sad day for basketball because one of NBA’s biggest players is leaving the game. And I am not referring to the fact that he is 7’1″, but the fact that the 39 year old has been such a positive force to the game.
Hopefully he will consider coaching because he needs to be part of the game in some form of the way.
