\"\"<\/a>Former guest on our sister TV program “Music Inner City TV” in the Seattle area, Shaquille O’Neal is going to retire after 19 years in the NBA.<\/p>\n

He was a guest on our show three times over the years. He ALWAYS took a few minutes for us when his team came to Seattle to play our dearly departed Seattle Sonics. (pic below with Shaq and yours truly)<\/p>\n

As a sports fan I am sorry to see Big Shaq retire because I loved to see the big fella play and dominate the courts like he did for almost two decades.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The NBA will miss O’Neal because he was such a fun loving guy. Always joking around. He took care of business on the court and had fun off the court. Not the night club at 2am kind of fun. Just regular fun.<\/p>\n

At Xmas time, O’Neal turned into “Santa Shaq” and for years gave away thousands of toys for the kids in the inner city of L.A. and other cities. He was and is a good dude.<\/p>\n

We as sports fans hope he will be around the NBA game for years to come on NBA-TV or with TNT. He will great doing that too.<\/p>\n

Sports fans should say a big thank you to Big Shaq for the years of greatness he brought our way. Their will never be another Shaquille O’Neal in the NBA. Thanks Big Fella for the years of basketball greatness ad we wish you luck in your post NBA playing life!\u00a0\u00a0 Gordon Curvey<\/p>\n
