The latest celebrity to join Twitter is none other than Shaquille O’Neal. The professional basketball player/humongous genie. An icon in the sports world. Call him what you want, but you can now call him a Tweep.

The NY Times confirms this is indeed the real Shaq, as someone had been impersonating him under a different account several months ago.

Shaq’s tweets (@the_real_shaq) mostly come via text message with pretty poor grammar.

He’s already unleashed gems like:

The giant has awoken lets get ready to rumble | link

THOSE R NOT TYPOS, JUST SAVN MONEY, MORE U TYPE MORE U PAY, LOL | link

He’s gained over 3,000 followers yesterday alone and currently sports nearly 6,000 followers. I can almost guarantee you that a famous Shaq quote will be made on Twitter, so follow him now and see it when it happens.
