735 left for Shaq at the NBA

Many are thinking that the time for Shaquille O’Neal to retire has already come, but the Suns Center said that he will wait until the end of his current contract with Phoenix to say goodbye to the NBA for good.

Shaq said that he will retire in 735 days, exactly at the end of the 2009-2010 season.

Money is something Shaq is certainly not concerned about, as he’s currently making $20 million per season, and is considered one of the wealthiest players at the NBA.

Among Shaq’s achievements we can mention 4 NBA championship rings, one season MVP title (2000), rookie of the year (92-93) and 14 NBA All-Star.

When asked what are his plans after retirement, Shaq said: “My basketball career will be over in 735 days, and being an educated man, I’ve always had thing to fall back on. So one of my options is law enforcement.”
