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.

In his first interview since a photo surfaced showing him smoking from a marijuana pipe, Michael Phelps said yesterday that the intense public scrutiny has him contemplating whether he will swim in the 2012 Olympics.
Phelps, who said that he “clearly made a mistake” and that the past week has been both embarrassing and uncomfortable for him, spoke with The Baltimore Sun inside Meadowbrook Aquatic Center after finishing his daily workout.
While he still has goals he wants to achieve in the sport, he said, he’s going to discuss it with his family and his coach, Bob Bowman.
“This is a decision of mine that I’m not going to make today and I’m not going to make tomorrow.
It’s going to require a lot of time and energy and a lot of thinking for myself – but also talking to Bob and talking to my family and just deciding what I want to do.
Yeah, there are still goals that I have in the pool, 100 percent. But I’m not going to let anything stand in my way. If I decide to walk away, I’ll decide to walk away on my own terms. If it’s now, if it’s four years, who knows. But it is something I need to think about and decide what I want to do.”
I’m sad for Michael Phelps. I don’t think he should retire. People will forget about this and move on to the next scandal. Right Christian Bale?
