Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal (pronounced "sha-KElL") (born March 6, 1972), frequently referred to simply as Shaq, is an American professional basketball player, regarded as one of the most dominant centers in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Following the 2008-2009 season he was traded by the Phoenix Suns to the Cleveland Cavaliers where he joined LeBron James. Following a single season in Cleveland, he signed with the Boston Celtics for whom he will play in 2010-2011. He previously played with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat.
