Shaq traded to Cleveland Cavaliers
NBA uberstar Shaquille O'Neal found out via Twitter that he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
An amazing story, made even more amazing by the fact that Shaq didn't know about it until he saw some tweets.
He tweeted out
"I didn't hear dat yet"
in response to this tweet,
"is it true u a CLEVELAND CAVALIER."
A few minutes later someone sent Shaq the following tweet,
"U CLEVELAND BOUND¿shaq found out he was traded thru twitter! lmao¿.hahahaaaaaa"
Shaq responded via Twitter:
"I kno right."
He didn't tweet anymore. The trade rumor was running wild during the regular season. @The_Real_Shaq has 1.4 million followers.
Shaq loves Twitter, witnessed by his constant updating of his tweets regularly and wittily. Often posting 20 tweets a day, one of which:
"ONCE WE HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE, THEN WE WILL HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE and LAUGH."

This should help the Cavs with a much needed big man down low to help defend and give Lebron another option. I am looking forward to seeing what happens and I hope to see the Cavaliers become the 2010 NBA Champions
