Rumors That Shaq Is Retiring Are False

Paul @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, December 11, 2009

Twitter kind of exploded overnight and this morning when rumors that Shaquille O’Neal was planning to retire from basketball when his contract expires.

It was rumored that the 7′ 1″ basketball giant was going to announce his retirement today for when his contract runs up after the 2009/2010 season of NBA.

All of this is untrue, apparently CollegeHumor.com came up with the fake story and planted it on Twitter for shits and giggles.

So if you woke up to read that Shaq is retiring from the NBA, don’t worry yet it was all a joke. I’m sure they will release some statement later on.
