Yes, the decimal point is in the correct place, Shaq just sold a mansion for $10 bucks. According to public records Shaq bought the home for $235,000 in 2012. Shaq has not made any official comment on the sale.

Shaquille O'Neal will be announced as a minority owner of the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.
It's somewhat ironic that Shaq bought a piece of the Kings, the team he memorably battled in the playoffs for years, and defeated in the 2002 Western Conference Finals. Shaq is too loquacious to be out of the headlines for long, and he's sure to have some 'words of wisdom' for DeMarcus Cousins. Former NBA star Mitch Richmond is also part of the Kings' ownership group, and Chris Mullin is a consultant for majority owner Vivek Ranadive.

Shaquille O'Neal said there is "no truth" to the rumor that he might play a few games in the Mexican Basketball League this summer.
Shaq does sound open to the idea, however, saying, "We could talk, but nobody has contacted me." He's spent his summer overseeing his business empire (including 55 Five Guys burger joints) and a legitimate return to the court isn't going to happen -- if he does play in the MBL, it will be little more than a publicity stunt.

Shaquille O'Neal could play one or two games in the 2012-13 Mexican Basketball League with Fuerza Regia, team president Sergio Ganem said.
O'Neal is in negotiations with the MBL, and even if he ends up playing, this is probably nothing more than a publicity stunt for Shaq. That being said, it would be fun to see the Diesel lace 'em up and get out on the floor one last time before the Lakers retire his jersey on April 2.

The Lakers will retire Shaquille O'Neal's number on April 2.
The team also reported that they will be unveiling Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's statue on November 16, and retiring Jamaal Wilkes' number on December 28. As far as jersey retirement ceremonies go, Shaq's is certain to draw plenty of eyeballs.

Shaquille O'Neal said Thursday has has no interest in Orlando's vacant general manager position.
O'Neal makes sense as some kind of owner, ambassador or consultant for the Magic. He knows he's not prepared -- or willing to take on -- the massive role of GM. "When I first heard about the vacancy for the Orlando Magic general manager position, I was clearly intrigued," Shaq said in a statement. "However, this is not a job I have an interest in pursuing. I feel very fortunate to be with TNT and to have the best job in sports."

ESPN's Chris Broussard is reporting that Shaquille O'Neal could interview with the Magic for the G.M. opening left by the departure of Otis Smith.
While it's tough to doubt Broussard, this one just doesn't feel all that realistic, especially given O'Neal's performance this year while working for Turner. But anything is possible and it wouldn't be all that surprising to see the big man at least get an interview.

Shaquille O'Neal revealed on the Dan Patrick show Tuesday morning that Jerry Buss called him the day he retired and promised that the Lakers would retire his jersey.
Buss had been previously on the record as saying he'd retire O'Neal's number, and it sounds like he's going to make good on that promise. O'Neal was a monster during his tenure with Los Angeles before his infamous departure. No player will ever wear No. 34 for the Lakers again once it comes official.

Shaquille O'Neal told Danny Ainge not to make the Kendrick Perkins trade at the 2010-11 trade deadline.
O'Neal told Ainge that he may not have been healthy enough to return upon Perkins' departure from the club, and that he "definitely" wasn't returning after the season. The trade continues to get criticized by Celtics fans, and the team was hurt by its lack of presence inside down the stretch of the season. Jeff Green, who was brought over from Oklahoma City for Perkins in the deal, really looked lost for most of his tenure with the team, and the move will continue to get dissected, as will Ainge's choice to pull the trigger, with the blunt honesty that O'Neal has provided in retirement.
