Shaq Playing For Cavs: Baskin's TakeBy Andy BaskinPOSTED: 3:23 pm EDT July 2,
2009 UPDATED: 3:36 pm EDT July 2,
2009 "A Ring for the King." The words echoed from Shaquille O' Neal's mouth at the Cleveland Clinic Courts to the rest of the world.As expected, O' Neal was relaxed in front of a few hundreds members of the community. It was a press conference in Independence, but the media was the minority, with kids, season ticket holders and Cavs staff on hand for the event.He answered everything from what will his new nickname might be, "The Big Freeze," to his passion for Twitter, and playing with LeBron James.Critics will say his age and ability are not what they used to be. If O' Neal brings absolutely nothing to the floor, he has the biggest 'X" factor of all: a Championship, make that four Championships. He has won with Kobe Bryant, he has won with Dwayne Wade. In his own own words, he is here to win a ring with LeBron. To be James' "Bodyguard."He told the audience he will commit himself to the business community. It's now a two-superstar team in a city desperately hoping for a winner. If today's meeting was a prelude of what is to come, then here's looking at what might be the most fun season, if not in just franchise history, in Cleveland sports history.
