Shaquille O'Neal is one of the all-time great Los Angeles Lakers of all-time, but when the team retired his jersey on Tuesday night, something was a little off, as the one they lifted to the rafters was has his number on the front and not the back like the ones of Jerry West and Magic Johnson.

According to ESPN.com, the team lifted up a jersey with his name on it on a large replica Lakers home jersey and was noticeable since the V-neck on it was different from the ones next to it. The Lakers have said that they know about the error and will be fixing it in the immediate future before Friday's home game.

O'Neal is not a stranger to acting and he kept that up again on the TNT drama 'Southland', which saw him in a guest role on Wednesday night. O'Neal played a gang police officer that was a former student in the academy with John Cooper, one of the main characters played by Michael Cudlitz. The show is considered to be one of the best on television and despite the fact that the ratings are low, it is very critically acclaimed.
