Shaq Calls It A Career And Retires Through Twitter

Shaq Daddy or Shaq Diesel or any other day you want to call him by will be missed as he announced his retirement today. Shaq played in 19 NBA seasons and always gave a show for the fans to enjoy. He will go down as one of the greatest centers to ever play this game. Power was his game and no one could handle him when he got down on the blocks. He was the original Superman in the NBA and will be missed. I have posted some of his accomplishments below.

• 15-time NBA All-Star
• 28,596 career points (5th all-time)
• 2000 NBA MVP
• 3-time NBA Finals MVP (2000-02)
• 1993 NBA Rookie of the Year
• Notable nicknames: The Diesel, Shaq Fu, Superman, The Big Daddy, The Big Shaqtus, The Big Shamrock
• 13 seasons with 20 PPG and 10 RPG (most in NBA)
• 5,250 postseason points (4th all-time in NBA)
• 216 postseason games played (3rd all-time in NBA)
