CHICAGO (CBS) Shaquille O’Neal announced on Twitter Wednesday that he is “about to retire”.

The tweet said “im retiring” and included a link to a short video where he simply told his fans: “We did it. 19 years, baby. Thank you very much. That’s why I’m telling you first: I’m about to retire. Love you. Talk to you soon.”

The title above the video said “Shaq ooout.”
