shaquille o’neal

Recently retired class clown Shaquille O'Neal did a bit with Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel Live that included a 1-on-1 "interview"…. which spiraled into a cereal eating contest and then…  … well… then the we get into the stuff in the headline.  It's not for the faint of heart. [...]

Shaq's pretty much gonna do whatever the hell he wants to do now, huh?  Still… I'm not 100% sure why a Taylor Swift concert is on the list… but to each his own, I guess.  Knowing Shaq, though, there's a tie-in to some partnership somewhere.   Via The Score [...]

This is the special shoe Li Ning had ready for Shaq if he were to play in the Finals.  I actually like it.  It's funky.   I wonder if they make it in a walking boot.  Another pic and more details are up at Celtkicks.com [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “First of all, I want to thank everyone for coming out,’’ he said. “Appreciate you guys very, very much. Never thought this day would come. Father time [...]

Our boy Sherrod Blakely talked to Shaq after his retirement news conference/party and asked the question we're all asking.  Will you come back? "Probably not."  That's enough wiggle room for me.  Just for safe measure, Sherrod talked to an "Eastern Conference executive. "I don't think he'll be like Brett Favre and go back and forth, [...]

It seems like Shaq's retirement announcement has been met with a resounding "yeah right".  Woj doesn't think he's done… I sure as hell don't think so… and neither does Danny Ainge. Ainge was asked flatly if he is convinced Shaq won’t again play in the league. “Oh, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t know. [...]

Shaq surprised us all yesterday by going to Twitter to announce his retirement.  It was a shock to us all that was spun as "Shaq's just doing it his way." Well, there was more to the move than that.  You see… Shaq posted his video on Tout.com… a new social media site that allows you [...]

Pretty cool short clip from the NBA's official YouTube page. It's worth a watch just to see Shaq bust his ass (and the rim) in 1992, on a backboard shattering dunk. He also tells Ahmad Rashad about how Bill Russell influenced his decision to join the Celtics. This video was obviously filmed early last season [...]

Editor's Note:  Please welcome Jacob Noble to the Red's Army crew.  Jacob has just joined the team.  Please enjoy the first of many great posts Jacob will write for us. Being a lifetime Celtic fan makes these Finals hard to watch because what we saw during the regular season out of the Boston Celtics was [...]

Yesterday afternoon the Big Shamrock, Shaquille O'Neal announced his retirement.  While Shaq certainly had several memorable moments off the court here in Boston, his on court highlights were pretty much well before the all-star break.  Shaq did not make this tournament, but when we compile a full season tournament, he'll be there. Paul Pierce certainly [...]
