The Lakers Made An Embarrassing Mistake When They Retired Shaquille O'Neal's Jersey
The Lakers retired Shaquille O'Neal's jersey during a ceremony at halftime of last night's game. But when the jersey was unveiled amongst the other Lakers great, many, including Paul Lukas of Uni-Watch.com, immediately noticed a problem.

It will be interesting to see if this is corrected and if so, what the Lakers will do with this version. As you can see in the second image below, the framed jersey presented to O'Neal was made correctly (click on images for a larger version)...
