I'm not saying Shaq is having a Britney Spears moment in this photo like when she shaved her head. No, I just think the big guy wants some attention.
You see, we're just two days from the start of the NBA Finals featuring Kobe Bryant, his old running buddy in his Los Angeles days, and Dwight Howard, a big man he's traded a few verbal barbs (and dance moves) with. And the spotlight for the Big Diesel? It's just not there at the moment, is it?
Shaq, from a basketball perspective, made his exit stage left months ago. (Side note: It's at this point that you realize how long the NBA playoffs are. The Suns played their final game on April 15.) And don't get me wrong, the Moe haircut is a hot look for the Big Shaqtus, but if he wants to go all Britney for some attention, I really want him to go full freakout and maybe try to bash in someone's car with an umbrella.
Image found via Shaq's Twitter, which I'm relatively sure the entire internet already follows.

I joined twitter just to have Shaq’s updates sent straight to my phone. Best/Worst decision I’ve ever made.

Shaq is is and always has been one of the most attention craves dousche bags in all of sports. He’s pulling for Kobe now? WHy, because the Lakers might win the championship now? What happened to trying to embarrass him with the little rap song he did last year where he bashed him just because he needed some attention from the media? Shaq is pathetic.
