BirdMan, Joe Budden, Dj Whoo Kid, & Q Tip React To Mavericks Win

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat to win the 2011 NBA Finals 4-2. Several rappers tweeted their reactions to the outcome of the series, which saw the 'superteam' of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh lose to the less-glamorous Mavs, led by Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki.

"S/O to both teams 4 an amazing final. Now ..... handle all this lockout talk," Joe Budden tweeted. "Heat fans ... y'all have a great team & had a great season. Nothing to be mad at. & on 2nd thought, i won't be bashing y'all. But i called Dallas in 6 & i'm up about 8 stacks ... i'll take free $ all day long."

"ok BIRDMAN loses 2million -- I win $250 x 16 idiots = $4000 --- nice and CLEVELAND, Ohio wins the NBA finals!!!!!!!!" DJ Whoo Kid tweeted.

"And next year its gonna be even worse for miami," Q-Tip tweeted. "This was their year. #choke."

Shaq Announces His Retirement

NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal has called it a career. The baller/actor/rapper played 19 unforgettable seasons in the league, and after an injury-plagued season with the Boston Celtics, Shaq is walking away from the game. He's giving an official press conference at the end of the week.

“We did it. Nineteen years baby," Shaq said in a video posted on his Twitter account. "Thank you very much. That’s why I’m telling you first: I’m about to retire. Love ya, talk to you soon."

Shaq entered the NBA as a devastating 21 year old with the Orlando Magic, became the most dominant force in the game alongside Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers and helped Dwyane Wade win his first NBA title with the Miami Heat. He finished his last few years with the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston.

During his career, Shaq also starred in the movies Blue Chips, Kazaam, and Steel and released four rap albums: Shaq Diesel, Shaq Fu: The Return and Can't Stop the Reign and Respect.
