Shaquille O’Neal took to twitter this afternoon to announce his retirement from the NBA.
O’Neal, easily one of the all-time greatest players in the NBA, calls it quits after 19 seasons, four championships, 15 NBA All-Star appearances and being named to the All-NBA first team eight times.
In his 19 years, the 39-year-old O’Neal played for Orlando, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland and Boston.
O’Neal was plagued with many injuries in his last year with the Celtics, but most will remember him from his most dominating days with the Lakers.
