Shaq Tall. Girlfriend Short.

Title says it all. But it’s still shocking to see this image. His girlfriend Nikki ‘Hoopz’ Alexander is pretty spicy though.

Shaq Visits Bar from “Cheers” and Sings

We’ve got to give a big shout out to Jimmy Traina at Sports Ilustrated’s Extra Mustard Hot Clicks for posting this great video of the Big Diesel making a visit to the “Cheers” bar in Boston. Shaq even made a point of attempting to sing the theme song to the TV Show ‘Cheers’, although it seems he didn’t know the lyrics as well as he thought he did…

Shaq has been making all sorts of hilarious appearances lately at the sights in Boston. First it was crashing a wedding at the Four Seasons, then it was playing statue at Harvard, then he dressed up with his teammates for Halloween, now Cheers….

Shaquille O'Neal and Justin Bieber....dancin?

By Trey Kerby

If there are two things in the entire world that Shaquille O'Neal(notes) loves more than anything else, they are:

1) Dancing
2) Being famous

Somewhere further down that list is playing basketball, but in the summer that definitely takes a back seat to chillin', loungin' and cuttin' up. However, there is another activity that Shaq enjoys, and it's rapidly rising up his list of favorite things — hanging out with Justin Bieber.

You've seen him singing to the 16-year-old wunderkind, now you get to marvel in the glory of Shaq learning a dance routine from Biebdawg. Why? I don't know, but it really happened.

With moves like that, it's easy to see why the Celtics wanted — or perhaps more accurately, couldn't find a good reason to pass up — the well-traveled giant. The Celtics' dancers are a recent addition to the storied franchise and adding a well-known choreographer will really legitimize the squad in the eyes of Boston fans. Shaq's already earned his stripes as a premium rug-cutter, so adding him to the team is a no-brainer. Instant credibility.

Wait. Shaq's playing for the Celtics? Not dancing? Oh. Nevermind.

In that case, this must be part of "Shaq Vs." for when he'll take on the teenage heartthrob in a dance competition. That makes a lot more sense than my cockamamie Shaq dancing for the Celtics theory. Well, not a lot more since it's still a Hall of Fame center challenging a 16-year-old to a dance-off on national television, but at least a tiny bit of sense is made with this explanation.

Obama Gets Autographed Shaquille O'Neal Sneaker

PHOENIX — What's the ideal gift for a basketball-obsessed president? Try a size 23 sneaker personally autographed by Shaquille O'Neal.

The Phoenix Suns center couldn't be around himself when President Barack Obama arrived at Sky Harbor International Airport Tuesday afternoon. So when the president stepped off of Air Force One, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon's son Jake made the presentation at the foot of the stairs.

The orange-and-white sneaker made a big impression.

Obama set it on the ground next to his own, much smaller shoe, and grinned as photographers captured the moment. Then Obama scooped it up and took it with him as he stepped into the presidential limo.

In Sunday's NBA All-Star game, O'Neal shared MVP honors with Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.
