Shaq retires
Props to one of the best basketball players ever. Where do you rank him?

Quote:
After a mentally exhausting season in which he was unable to overcome the effects of a right Achilles injury as a member of the Boston Celtics, Shaquille O'Neal has decided to retire after 19 NBA seasons.

In typical O'Neal fashion, he chose the unconventional approach of announcing his retirement via social media. He posted a short video on a new social media site called Tout in which he said:

"We did it. Nineteen years baby," he said in the message. "I want to thank you very much, that's why I'm telling you first, I'm about to retire. Thank you, talk to you soon."

O'Neal walks away with four championship rings, three Finals MVP trophies, one MVP award, and 15 All-Star appearances. O'Neal, a two-time NBA scoring champion, is fifth all-time on the NBA's list for career points (28,596) and 12th in total rebounds (13,099).

O'Neal arrived in Boston last August declaring he had 730 days -- or two more seasons -- in his NBA career, but he couldn't endure the first 365. Riddled by injuries, most notably the lingering Achilles ailment, he appeared in just 37 regular-season games and limped through two playoff appearances for Boston, playing a mere 17½ minutes after Feb. 1.

Upon arriving in Boston, O'Neal injected newfound lightheartedness in Boston's training camp and quickly endeared himself to the region with stunts like posing as a statue in Harvard Square, conducting a holiday medley with the Boston Pops, and dressing in drag for Halloween.

But even as the Celtics thrived when he was on the court -- enough so for Boston to consider trading away starting center Kendrick Perkins at the February trade deadline -- O'Neal struggled to stay on the court due to a myriad of injuries on the right side of his body.

No amount of rehab and medicine could cure the ailing Achilles, which limited him to one appearance after Feb. 1, a 5½-minute stint against the Detroit Pistons in early April that saw him limp right back off the court when the injury flared.

O'Neal played small minutes in Games 3 and 4 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Heat before being deactivated for Game 5 as the Celtics season ended in Miami.

If Lebron could have won a title with the Cavs it would have weighed higher then him winning one with the Heat.
Didn't Russell have 8 HOFers as teammates through a large chunk of that title run? I think I remember it being something absolutely absurd like that.

As for Russel. Nobody is going to ever sniff 22 rebounds a game ever again. Totally different game when he played. It's impossible to compare stats in different eras.

My favorite player growing up was Shaq. Jordan was good. So was Barkley. But my favorite player was Shaq by far.

Absolutely unstoppable when he got the ball down low. Double, triple team him. Didn't matter. He was going to get his.

If I had to choose a word to describe his style of play, it'd be "rape." He absolutely raped other centers on the court. He made them eat his giant chocolate penis while he demeaned and made them feel sub-human and worthless. Vlade Divac had a nice little career in the NBA, and it all of a sudden ended when he had to face Shaq in the playoffs two years in a row. I wonder why.

Shaq was unbelievable to watch in his youthful years, but as he packed on the LB's the injuries stacked up. The guy was TOO big there towards the end

This.

To me, Wilt illustrates just how screwed up the greatest player ever argument because of rings is.

Wilt was the most dominating force to ever play the game.

You couldn't stop him.

He had ball skills, was physically intimidating, a great defender, and great rebounder.

Quick feet and soft hands.

But he played most of his career with average talent surrouding him, and basketball is a team game, and the Celtics were loaded with all stars and HoFers.
