Shaquille O’Neal spent over 8 years with the Los Angeles Lakers before parting ways due to growing differences between him and Kobe. He won 3 championships with them and several individual accolades as well.

He was one of the most dominant centers of his time and led the league in FG% for five consecutive years. The Lakers retired the number #34 in 2013 in Shaq’s honor. Although the big-man has played for more than 5 teams in his career, he still associates himself the most with the Lakers.

“Speaking of Clippers, I don’t like the fact that when you guys have home games you cover up the jerseys. When you win 17 championships you can start changing the rules. Don’t come for my jersey. It’s our building, don’t forget that. Ya’ll just leasing it, it’s our building.”

Steve Balmer’s Los Angeles Clippers are getting their own Arena in 2024 when their lease ends with the Staples Center. It will be interesting to see if Paul George and Kawhi Leonard stay with them long enough to play in their own Arena and possibly win a championship as well.
