“Shaq is going to have to come to my house and get it”: Dwyane Wade is ready to pay up for losing a bet to Shaquille O’Neal last season

Dwyane Wade assures Shaquille O’Neal he is ready to hand out his NBA finals trophy.

Last season was a dream run for the Los Angeles Lakers. The team led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis ended a decade-long drought and won the NBA championship. While the Lakeshow was putting on stellar performances on the field, off the field, Shaq and Wade were having their own battle.

Prior to the 2020 NBA Finals, Shaq and Wade made a humongous bet. The two former NBA stars betted their NBA Finals trophies on their respective teams. Despite being played for both the Lakers and the Heat, Shaq stayed loyal to the purple and gold.

We all know how the finals ended as the Lakers defeated Miami and were crowned the 2020 NBA champions.
