Fresh from the ironic files. The very team Shaquille O’Neal once called the “Sacramento Queens” when he played with the Lakers at the height of their bitter rivalry. He will now join as an owner. Write it down, take a picture, send it to the Lakers fanbase. Zing!
“What interested me in this deal is the new vision, the new Kings, the new everything,” O’Neal said. “I’ve always wanted to be part of something like this…It’s going to be great.”
For his first act as part of the Kings ownership group. O’Neal will be speaking with mercurial and talented DeMarcus Cousins presumably about a contract extension and possibly his attitude. Probably most definitely he will be talking to him about his attitude.
