    Anyone else see this on the CNN ticker? He did not mention this last night on Conan O'Brien but CNN says Shaq will retire in 3 years. This absolutely came out of Shaq's mouth but he often makes inane comments so make of it what you will.

    If it's true, it makes sense to me. He made the money. He got the rings. He proved all of his critics wrong who said that he didn't care about basketball by leading the Lakers to two NBA titles. He said early in his career that he probably wouldn't play past his mid thirties

    I know that I wouldn't be playing basketball for very much longer if I had HIS kind of jack

    Well, I for one heard some crap about how Shaq wants to win 10 championships before he retires. [​IMG] Seems extremely unlikely since he's probably only got 5-6 good years left at most.

    Shaq's been saying this for the past couple of years. He said he wanted to go out on top. I think even during the Finals he said he wanted to play for about 2 or 3 more years then hang them up.

    Basketball is holding back his acting/singing career.

    I heard Shaq wants to win 5 rings like Kareem and Magic.

    Shaq does not only have 5-6 good years left. If anythign he might not be as quick as he is now but he will be as big or bigger. He will still dominate opposing centers the way he does now, with the exception of being able to rise quickly for the alley oop.

    hmm?

    I thought it might have been something someone said on TRL, and you were pointing him out for hearing it.

    But to know it was on TRL, you would have to had seen it, or someone told you...
