“No truth to that,” O’Neal told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “Its kind of unfortunate that so-called experts have to get their sources from the Internet. Its backwards. Especially when people from ESPN know me and they can call me and ask me, but somebody else said it so they want to be the first to report it even though its not true.”

Considered by many to be one of the greatest centers of all time, O’Neal last played for the Boston Celtics during the 2010-2011 season. He appeared in a career-low 37 games because of various injuries.

During his stellar career, O’Neal averaged 23.7 points and 10.9 rebounds per game for the Magic, Lakers, Heat, Suns, Cavaliers, and Celtics.
