And a Tweet ends it. Shaq announces his intention to retire.

If any of you are still asking the question "Why bother having a Twitter Account?" this should make it clear.


In this day and age of instant information, there is no more need for press conferences.  A 19 year career can come to an end with a simple tweet.   Here is one from Shaquille O'Neal just moment ago.
