Why Shaq Calls Himself The Big Cactus...

Go to nba.com and on the top right corner click on "Originals" and it has a video of Shaq. Really pretty funny...

On a side note...Since Shaq hasn't had alot of "nice" things to say about his former teams, does everyone think he retires as a Sun?

If he wins 2 titles, I think hell retire a Sun. If not, I see him retiring as a Laker.

What do you mean by 'retiring as'? Doesn't a player automatically retire as whatever he played last? Does he choose what he wants to retire as from all the teams he's been?

 

[MoeIsBetter]

Yeah but he can always pick up a 10 day contract from any team and retire the next day. Look at Emmit Smith (or countless others). Emmit took that short contract from Dallas to retire as a Cowboy.

Barkley had his jersey retired as 76er but was also inducted into the Suns ring of honor.

Barkley had his jersey retired as 76er but was also inducted into the Suns ring of honor.

Yes, but was that by choice? Or simply because of the things he did for both teams?

Jersey retirements are just a tribute to what that player did for the team. Barkley retired from Houston because that is where he played last, but had more meaningful years in Philly and Phoenix.
