July 20, 200422 yr This is cool tambien: Shaquille O'Neal took out a full page ad in Tuesday's Miami Herald. The text: "When I talk about my 'new team' in Miami I am including you, the fans. The love you have shown since it was announced that I was coming to Miami has been amazing, and it will not go unrewarded. Keep up that kind of support, and we might be printing invitations to a parade in June. D. Wade, Eddie, Dolie, Malik, Jerome, Udonis, Wang and Dorrell: The business begins. Together, we can bring the trophy to South Beach. Meet me at the gym ... " -- Shaquille O'Neal
