(CBS/AP) - Shaquille O'Neal has had almost as many nicknames as he had points in the NBA (Well, not quite, since he did drop in more than 28,000 points during his career).

Pictures: 5 dumbest celeb Tweets ever?

But now Shaq is in the market for a new nickname, after announcing on Twitter that he is retiring from basketball.

He posted the news on his account Wednesday - where he has nearly 4 million followers. He's soliciting suggestions for a new nickname online, too.

So far the most popular is "The Big 401K" - but Shaq says he thinks his fans can do even better than that.

Got any suggestions? Tweet the man yourself.
