Is this the Mrs. O'Neal to be?????

Like the sound of vuvuzela at a World Cup game, the blogosphere is buzzing with unconfirmed rumors that Shaquille O'Neal, 38 year-old and Nicole Nikki Alexander, 28 year-old, also known as Hoopz got engaged. Rumors has it that he got down on one knee on the dance floor at the Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine and Hookah Lounge in a St. Louis suburban over the weekend and put a ring on her finger.

We were first introduced to Alexander from her appearance with Flavor Flav on the VH1 TV show Flavor of Love. In the first edition of this scandalous TV show, Alexander won the championship, became Flavor Flav's Queen and walked away with $ 250,000 in cash. The exposure from the show turned Alexander into a so-called instant super star.

Celtics. Throughout his 18 years career, O'Neal has used his 325 pounds size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds.

During a recent press conference in Boston, O'Neal answered questions about chemistry with the new team, winning championships and whether this is the last stop in his NBA career.

Asked about what nickname he's going to go by when he takes the court for Boston. "So far I like the Big Shamrock," O'Neal said. "But I might go with the Big Green Mile too. I'm not sure yet." Coach Doc Rivers said he hasn't decided either. "I'm not sure what I'm going to call him," Rivers said introducing the star. "The Big Leprechaun. The Green Monster. I've heard all these different things."

O’Neal recently divorced his wife, Shaunie O'Neal, of seven years.
