DADDY'S
BACK!!! Shaquille O'Neal is back in Florida, this time playing
for the Miami Heat and leading them on in their playoff run for NBA
Championship. O'Neal, a three time NBA Champion with the LA Lakers (and
a three-time NBA finals MVP) joined the Heat after the 2003-2004 season.
The result of the move was immediate - the Heat ended the 2004-2005
regular season ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference and swept the
New Jersey Nets in the first round of NBA playoffs. Visit http://www.nba.com/heat/
