The 2009 All star weekend saw the big cactus once again participating after a year of absence. It is said that the All Star weekend was made for guys like Iverson and Shaquille O Neal: Iverson for his free wheelin style of play and Shaq for his own brand of showmanship.
Shaq surely lived up to expectations as he once again showcased why despite earning his slot by way of the coaches' sympathy vote, he has got a lot more to offer than just Shaq basketball.
Shaq was the last All Star reserve to be introduced and aptly so for all the right reasons. Shaq had something up his sleeve which he promised would take only 45 seconds but that which will surely be remembered for many All Star weekends to come.
When Shaq's name was announced, he came out wearing a mask of the Jabbawockeez-winner of America's Best Dance Crew season one. As if his towering frame wasn't enough to single him out from the rest of the dance crew, the small mask, barely covering his face, added to the eccentricity which has been his hallmark.
Shaq was trying to represent Hip-Hop again and this time by way of dancing.
