This is How Shaq Opened His Cavs Career

Shaquille O'Neal was introduced to the media today in Cleveland for the first time. He spoke about many things, including his motto of "Win a ring for the King." He spoke of his wise old uncle Jerome, too. But the highlight, without a doubt, was one of the first things he did.

Yes, Shaq brought props to his opening presser. What else would you expect? He broke out that infamous photo with Danny Ferry being put into, ahem, a very uncomfortable position.

What else would you expect from Shaq? (I'll try to update this post when the full presser video is available to embed.)

If Shaq can play as good as the slogans he makes up, the Cavs might have a chance.

Shaq is always good at the press conference upon is arrival. It’s what happens next that’s usually the problem.

Those problems 3 out of 4 times is a trip to the finals with 4 rings to show for it.

He needed Kobe for 3 rings and Wade for another. Mostly mouth and he will need his ego stroke on a daily basis.
