What Shaquille O'Neal has been one of the best players in NBA history And, without a doubt, the most dominant pivot of the 90s and 2000 in the best basketball league in the world is something that few can discuss.
Their Four NBA champion rings (three with the Lakers and another with Miami) and one innumerable list of individual awardswith an MVP of the league included, they are its letter of presentation.
Although 15 years ago he retired as a player, the truth is that Shaquille has never stopped being in the foregroundas well as recognized television collaborator and for his always striking statements.
The last of them occurred in the ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq’, When the pivot legandarium, who throughout his career militated in the Orlando Magic, the Lakers, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, surprised everyone with a curious and surprising 'confession', without knowing if it is true 100% or it is a 'cowed' very much of the Shaq style.
And it is that during one of his interventions in the podcast, Shaquille picked up with a more than surprising revelation.
“A confession: when I was going to leave the Lakers (back in 2004), the Knicks were 'content' (team with aspirations to win the NBA ring), but I discarded them because I love to drive and you can't drive in New York. I have two great vans and I couldn't use them there. You can't park in New York.”
And it was so wide.
To contextualize SHAQ's good statements a bit, remember that at that time The Knicks had players like Anfernee Hardaway, Allan Houston, Stephon Marbury, Antonio McDyess… although most likely many of them should have made their bags to facilitate the arrival of O'Neal.
Finally, as the good NBA fans will know, Shaquille ended up abandoning the Lakers in the summer of 2004, although heading to the Miami Heatwith those who He won his fourth ring In 2006 … and, we assume, he could quietly conduct his vans on the wide highways of Florida.
