Shaquille O'Neal Takes Sports Illustrated Jinx to the Next Level

Sports Illustrated is now able to curse athletes before it hits news stands.

The new Shaquille O'Neal cover is dated May 17; Shaq and the Cavaliers got bounced from the playoffs last night.

(Update:  Turns out Sports Illustrated already pre-jinxed Shaq and LeBron last fall. So it could be the pre-jinx just kicking in late. Still, the comments there are priceless.)
