Shaq on to ESPN?

A day after tweeting his decision to retire, Sha quille O’Neal hinted yesterday that he was going to work for ESPN.

In a video tweeted by O’Neal and posted on the social media site Tout, the NBA star said he had just been offered a position at the all-sports network.

“I’m sitting here with my agent Perry Rogers. He just gave me some good news. A certain network wants to hire me,” Shaq said, before mimicking the end of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” theme music.

O’Neal announced his retirement Wednesday in a video posted on Tout. The future Hall of Famer is set to make the formal announcement today at a press conference.

The 7-foot-1 center has a long showbiz resumé — including acting in movies — and been expected to take a job on TV as a basketball commentator. The only question was which network would pick him up first.

O’Neal leaves the NBA after 19 seasons in which he won four championships, one MVP, three NBA Finals MVP awards and appeared in 15 All-Star Games.

The 39-year-old averaged at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in 13 seasons, more than any player in NBA history, and finished fifth on the all-time NBA scoring list.
