    ...to take a Laker front office position at 37 years of age.

    That's kind of young, no?

    Lakers guard Brian Shaw retiring, taking front office position

    EL SEGUNDO – Lakers guard Brian Shaw is retiring after 14 NBA seasons to take a front office position with Los Angeles.

    The 37-year-old Shaw won three NBA titles in four seasons with the Lakers. The team planned a news conference for Wednesday to announce Shaw's new position.

    The 6-foot-6 guard was drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1988 out of University of California-Santa Barbara.

    He played with Boston, Miami, Orlando, Golden State, Philadelphia, Portland and Los Angeles, and averaged 6.9 points in 943 NBA games. He averaged a career-best 13.8 points for Boston in 1990-91, his second season.

    So what were your favorite Brian Shaw moments?

    Mine was when he was (briefly) a Rocket.

    Mine was when the Rockets won the second championship, and they showed the Magic gather at midcourt for their season, they showed Shaw, flinch (sp?) when the fireworks went off. :D

    Was he really 6'6"? He always seemed shorter than that to me.

    Spelling. As in, flinch may be spelled incorrectly. (In this case it's spelled right, I think.)

    My favorite Shaw moment was the one where he was Shaq's mouthpiece. Oh, wait--that was EVERY moment.

    Man. I don't got any favourite Shaw moment. Can't stand the player. As far as I'm concerned it's about time he retires.
