Today at 1 pm Shaq officially retired. Today we honor his first SI cover, from 1991...back when the LSU center played second fiddle to Duke power forward Christian Laettner. Remember, Laettner was picked over O'Neal for the only collegiate spot on the Dream Team for the '92 Barcelona Olympics. Four NBA titles later, safe to say Shaq made up for that in during his illustrious 19 year career. Best of all, we'll never have to watch him shoot another free throw ever again.
Entertaining read from the Wall Street Journal on all five of Shaq's NBA stops.
