Shaquille O’Neal's two-year pact with the Celtics will be his final contract in the NBA, he says. He's 38 and essentially said he's on a victory lap on what he considers one of the "most dominant" careers in NBA history.

He told the New Orleans Times Picayune he had the option of taking more money from teams other than Boston. He wanted to join Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce in green. Shaq said:

A lot of people said I only got the league minimum salary, but that’s all right. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I’ve had four max contracts in one lifetime, I don’t care about that little million. Did I want $10 million? I’m always going to put the number high. I could have gotten $8 million from Atlanta and Detroit, but it wasn’t about that. It was about being somewhere and being seen and winning.

We think Shaq reads us: We have a favor, Mr. O'Neal. Could you help Glen "Big Baby" Davis with his Internet video stylings? There's a lot that is wrong with what he dropped on the www.

Glen, take note:

• Don't talk with your mouth full.

• Don't eat out of such a huge bowl, or with such an enormous spoon.

• Your periods of dead air - you know, when you walked away from the camera - are not a good idea.

• The wallpaper is questionable, too.

• Avoid discussing your lactose intolerance issues and the results of drinking regular milk.

• And, Shaq, can you help the brother with his rhymes?
