CALLIN' IT QUITS... After 19 years in the NBA, Shaq is finally hanging up his basketball jersey after having a career that earned him an Olympic gold medal, several Most Valuable Player awards and four NBA championships. A couple of additional observations: 1.) Lakers fans will no longer have to burn his jersey since Shaq didn't, nor ever will, win another title playing with the Boston Celtics... 2.) Kobe Bryant can take solace in the fact he has one more ring than his 7-foot nemesis... And 3.) Shaq will always be known as one of the most dominant (if not THE dominant) centers the NBA have ever known. That is all.

Shaquille O'Neal celebrates after the Lakers advance to the 2000 NBA Finals after beating the Portland Trailblazers in 7 games during the Western Conference Finals that year.
