Shaquille O’Neal dominates Orlando Magic as a Laker after an angry phone call from his Dad!

Shaquille O’Neal Orlando wants them the Lakers want them you might say it’s from Disney World to Disneyland a 7-year $120 million contract to joined the LA Lakers I can tell you how excited Southern California is today the Los Angeles Lakers have acquired a 24y old Superstar

Who we feel is going to bring us to that incredible level that this franchise has enjoyed in Los Angeles keep in mind the word change uh to me changes for the good I like to thank my father for calling me at half time and telling me

To slow down if you’re watching SS thank you the summer parting was contentious and that night Shaq and the Orlando Magic met again as you know divorces are ugly the Bad Blood had been boiling for 6 months the hostility between the west coast and East Coast Shacks going La the

Breakup with the Orlando Magic in July was like Tupac leaving Death Row and joining Puffy’s Bad Boy Records teaming with biggie O’Neal ignored the Orlando matrick for reported seven-year $120 million deal with LA Magic’s management didn’t support him enough Shaq also said Nick Anderson was a selfish wher and he

Branded Orlando the Lakers rival Shaq avoided calling the Magic by name referred to the team simply as the other people magic fans in turn resorted to brandishing bumper stickers that say Shaq who when Shaq’s agent lonard armado and Lakers executive Jerry West finally made the deal during the Atlanta

Olympics in July the Orlando Magic management didn’t hear anything from Shaq they got the news like everyone else from television the Orlando Magic general manager John Gabriel who ran the negotiation efforts to resign sha got the message from armato on his answering machine the magic suspected the Lakers

Of negotiating Shaq before the league cleared them to do so but NBA officials found no evidence of wrongdoing when you’re a young team like the magic and you’re under development something big it’s a shock because they could win championships people wanted to know why O’Neal made no apologies for how he

Handled his Orlando departure I think I did on my end a good professional job Shaq said Shaq side of the story is different he never wanted to leave Orlando where his parents live and he liked the Magic’s chances of eventually winning an NBA title after Orlando

Reached the 95 finals but he said the magic management wasn’t understanding enough when he left the team for several days last season to mourn the death of his grandmother he felt unappreciated calling the magic salary offers horrible and his beef with Nick Anderson through the media he said his lead leadership

Role increased in the Lakers taking a shot at Nick Anderson the players agree that if we got on each other that nobody would take it personally because I’ve been on teams that if you yell at somebody they would take it personally and they would go cry to the coach there

Were also rumors of uneasiness and jealousy between Penny and Shaq who was the better player in Orlando who was the number one stuff the magic was struggling without Shaq and the injuries of Penny Hardaway Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson they were only the spectators at The Forum they were in La after the

Whole game scoring 57 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers O’Neal hugged Horus Grant and talked with Brian Shaw but he couldn’t mingle with Penny Nick Anderson and D Scott Shaq started out 0 for four in his first game against the magic he called his father Philip Harrison for

Emergency advice and it worked in this super hype nationally televised game Shaq’s father dialed his son’s cell phone and told him to settle down and go play he had 25 points and 18 rebounds a career-high five steals Orlando had been without their dominant Center Ronnie cyy instead of Shaq he couldn’t match him

Cyy Gerald Wilkins Ryan Shaw Derek strong Amal mccal a washed up Kenneth Smith what a roster everyone circled the date on the calendar back when Shaq decided to lead Walt Disney World permanently the fans in Florida really didn’t miss Shaq all that much surprisingly the Orlando Sentinel took a

Poll and the result would be let Shaq go 75% give Shaq what he wants 20% keep Shaq and send the Cento to La 5% Shaquille did the poll in the Orlando Sentinel have any impact at all on your decision they when 91% of the popul ation that actually responded to the

Poll said that they didn’t think you were worth the money you know when I read stuff like that in the paper it doesn’t make me weak it just makes me stronger they still had Penny still had Nick still had D Scott Horus Grant and some others they thought they stole

Ronnie cyy from The Golden State Warriors everyone in Florida thought the Orlando Magic was going to be okay speaking of 57-point games against Cleveland no sha no penny no D Scott Gerald Wilkins scored 10 points team high without a single free throw Brian Shaw and horis Grant played 39 minutes

And they didn’t even shoot his free throw Cleveland coach Mike Pella trolled the magic why foul them they can’t shoot anyway they really need Shaq to play for both sides that’s how bad the magic was in the early 1996 97 season Shaq inspired everybody to play hard he

Wanted to win the game badly because it was personal the Lakers began its comeback from an 11o second quarter deficit in the third period Nick Van xo’s basket gave the Lakers their first lead 56- 54 since Midway through the opening quarter that sparked an 11-0 run that gave the Lakers a 6554 Advantage

Shaq stepped on the court with a different look in his eye pressed most of the first half and got a call from his dad on the cellular phone during intermission and had teammates trying extra hard to get him the ball inside was he trying too hard a little

Bit Yeah 25 points 18 rebounds seven blocks and five seals in a 9281 victory at the Forum he settled down finishing nine of 18 from the field and seven of 10 from the line the Lakers were up 13 points in the fourth quarter against an empty roster the magic was still as

Close as 79 972 with 230 remaining after Daryl Armstrong’s three-pointer it could have gotten more interesting from there when the Lakers followed that by throwing the ball away except Orlando failed to score on his next two attempts while Nick B XEL made two free throws and Elden Campbell hit a hook that built

The lead back to 11 then about a minute later Shaq left having made a run at a third 2020 in nine games before falling short although as five steals tied a career high a few fans were at the form early enough to give the magic players a

Smattering booze when they came out 15 minutes before tip off as Shaq had requested knowing he will still get that and much more but when did he ask to have the Lakers boo they got a mild hazing anyway upon falling behind 3827 in the second quarter Shaq was one of

The six from the field when the Lakers went on 31 one two run soon after though they had the fans backing them again and the lead it was 4242 at halftime with the Lakers shooting 31.7% O’Neal had warmed up to four of nine and was five of six from the line

The Lakers 13-0 charge over the final 5 minutes 3 seconds of the third quarter even if Shaq only score four of these points when the Lakers also scored in the opening possession of the fourth quarter the Run was 15 and0 and the lead was 6754 the projected mismatch between Shaq

And his old team ended up as expected it wasn’t so much that the magic missed Shaq who left them as a free agent or injured starters this was more of a matter of the magic missing shots free throws and chances while falling to the Lakers 9281 despite all the talk of a perceived

Rift between the magic coach Brian Hill and sha Hill was looking forward to the game I’m looking forward to seeing Shaq tonight I haven’t seen him and enjoyed being around Shaquille despite everything that went on there have never been any hard feelings on my part I

Would like to end the rumor of of feud between me and Brian Hill there was no feud between me and Brian Hill I love Brian Hill as a coach and I want to wish the Orlando Magic good luck and Chris Rock who was the voice of Lil Penny in

The Nike commercials at the crowd a year ago the Orlando magic was looked upon as the NBA’s team of the future and then they looked like the NBA’s team of futility the Lakers on the other hand with the addition of Mega star Shaquille O’Neal that summer became one of the

League’s Marquee teams once again they were becoming the League’s best team four years later after gutting the roster to fit O’Neal under the salary cap the Lakers fit the pieces together and figured it out in four years can you win it here at this team I think if we
