Former Celtic Shaquille O’Neal snubbed on Jeannie Buss’ all-time Los Angeles Lakers list

If, as one of the handful of people to play for both franchises, former Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O’Neal has ever felt torn between the team he retired from and the club he won a trio of titles with, one would think he would side with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The hosts of the I Am Athlete “Paper Route” podcast recently convened to talk it over.

Check out the clip of their discussion embedded above to hear their thoughts on whether Buss did Shaq dirty with her admittedly subjective list.
