Shaq won't offer advice for LeBron

Shaquille O'Neal won't be offering advice to LeBron James.

Even if James asked him?

"No," said Shaq, during a red, white and green carpet interview before his retirement party at the Palms on Saturday.

"Experience is the best teacher," he said, adding, "Michael (Jordan) told me 'You must fall before you can stand.' "

O'Neal hopes to be back in the NBA soon as a color commentator. He confirmed he has auditioned for jobs.
