Shaq's the latest to pay tribute to Michael Jackson (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Shaq-s-the-latest-to-pay-tribute-to-Michael-Jack;_ylt=ArLH6NLzpcLYaY2nQ2E4ksS8vLYF?urn=nba,177 256)

Ball Don't Lie
It's what set Shaquille O'Neal apart from the beginning. The moves. The fluidity. He's big, sure, but there have been plenty of big men. Tall men, too.
But big and tall men with moves like this? Sure, Shaq never really learned a series of offensive moves that would put Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to shame, but when you can slide like this, what's the point?

Oh, and sense of humor. Forgot about that. That also set him apart. Once again, nothing tops Kareem in Airplane (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRrPntN0OlY)!, but damn if Shaq can't crack you up just mugging for someone's digital camera.
Unlike Ron Artest's now-deleted, rather profane (and rather awful) Michael Jackson tribute (http://neswsports.com/2009/07/06/ron-artest-michael-jackson-tribute-that-just-happened-video/), you can safely allow this one to be played at work.
Big thanks to our man Ethan Jaynes for the heads-up (http://neswsports.com/2009/07/16/shaq-michael-jackson-tribute-beat-it-music-video/).
