Shaq has been religiously using the popular online service www.twitter.com for a few days now. He’s hooked, writing almost 1 tweet per hour. In case you did not know, Twitter is a free social messaging utility that allows people to connect with others in real-time. This service is perfect for Shaq who likes to speak his mind and is an instant quote machine.

Check out some of his twitter messages:
“I need help subway or schlotsskys for lunch, big game tonite”

“This is straight from the shaqs mouth I love phil jackson Kobe bryant is the best palyer in the game And the shaq kobe, kobe shaq was the best one two punch”

Question: Who would win in a one-on-one game — you or Kobe?

Michael Jordan: Kobe would win because I’m older. In my prime? Not even a contest. Let’s just say I have a better chance of stopping him than of him stopping me.

At the age of 45, Jordan looks like he can STILL hang in the NBA. Best NBA Player. Ever

4 guys I’d choose over Justin Timberlake as ESPYs host.

Greg Oden - He has senority over the others, therefore he should be the host

Dwight Howard - He’s able to leap tall buildings, shouldn’t he host?

One of the luckiest SOB’s on the face of the earth just got luckier.

An article from People.com claims:

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima received an engagement ring Thursday night – her birthday – from basketball star Marko Jaric, his rep tells PEOPLE.

“He asked and she said yes. They are both incredibly happy and couldn’t be more in love,” says publicist James Weir.

Patrick Swayze may be fighting pancreatic cancer, but that isn’t keeping him from enjoying a nice playoff game. The 55 year-old Dirty Dancing star was seen with his wife, Lisa Niemi, the Lakers and San Antonio Spurs on Friday.

In other news, Eva Longoria gets paparazzi’d at Ken Paves’ salon. Back in the States following a trip to Cannes for the “Kung Fu Panda” premiere, Eva gets dolled up as her hubby Tony Parker is in town for the NBA Western Conference Finals.

Some Hornets fan holds a life size cutout of Eva Longoria hoping to distract Tony Parker. Notice the cutout’s background –bricks. Tony Parker did just that making 60% of his freethrows.

though, I think the guy holding the cutout is the real distraction.
