Shaquille O’Neal, the former Los Angeles Lakers star, wants a $50 million payout from the team following its recent sale. O’Neal, who was a key player in the Lakers’ success, believes he is entitled to a share of the $10 billion sale due to his contributions to the team’s victories.
What Happened: O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion, spent the majority of his career with the Lakers, winning three titles with the team. After his departure, the Lakers continued their success, with Kobe Bryant leading the team to back-to-back championships between 2008 and 2010.
