The last few weeks a lot of folks have been talking about a new Twitterer named Shaquille O'Neal and speculating whether he was the real deal. It was pretty realistic, but, come on, Shaq isn't really Twittering, right?
Well, turns out it wasn't really Shaq. But Shaq found out about the fake guy and got so ticked he figured he better start Twittering himself. I just got a call from one of Shaq's people and THE_REAL_SHAQ is now Twittering. For real, for real.
As of 9:30am Pacific, he only has 65 followers. Come on blogosphere, step up your Twitter game and let's get THE_REAL_SHAQ to at least 1,000 by the end of the day.
By the way, I just started a fake Twitter account for Rasheed Wallace.... Muahahahahaha!!

Why Not a Pistons-Lakers NBA Finals?
Why not upload Bad Boys v. Showtime 2.0? It worked out for Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas pretty well, and it would have just as many compelling story lines. Can Kobe do it without Shaq against the last squad that relishes team defense? With another championship, will we have to regard Rasheed Wallace as one of the best forwards to play in the last 25 years?
NBA Wrap: Pistons D shuts the Mavs down
Rasheed Wallace called it. He said before the game that the Pistons would need to go inside on the undersized Mavs to win the game. Thats exactly what they did and it was extremely effective. The whily center hit a fadeaway late in the third quarter to help the Pistons pull away from the Mavs.

Shaquille O’Neal is a large man and one of the most difficult players to officiate in the history of the NBA. Players bounce off of Shaq leading to non-foul calls for him, and some cheap foul calls against him.
O’Neal was ejected from the Phoenix Suns game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday for committing a [...]

Apparently, someone decided it would be funny to make Twitter posts pretending to be Shaquille O'Neal. Apparently, the Big Aristotle got wind of this and wasn't pleased. But he decided to take the proactive approach and start Twittering himself (which sounds gross). As found by ALANA G - his ...

Shaq Rewrites History, Blames Phil Jackson
Shaquille O'Neal once said that NBA stands for "nothing but actors" and his latest comments prove that to be true. Remember all the feuding that he did with former teammate Kobe Bryant? It sure seemed real at the time but O'Neal now insists that it was all part of a mind game by Phil Jackson to motivate both players. In an interview with Scott Howard-Cooper of the...
