He has appeared in two NBA finals. He graduated from Stanford University and Harvard Westlake High School.

Collins, with the help of Franz Lidz of SI.com, introduced himself to the world in a new light...

Yesterday, after 19 mostly incredible years and 4 NBA Championships, Shaquille O'Neal announced his retirement from professional basketball. His final season--with the Boston Celtics--was hampered by injuries and you really could see the end was near.
