This came up during a conversation about the Lakers’ arena changing its name from Staples Center to Crypto.com Arena. O’Neal, who told TMZ he was actually supportive of the name change, said he doesn’t even go to games anymore, even asking, “Who want to watch them people play?”
The Lakers have been massively underperforming this season, sitting with a 13-13 record after a loss on Thursday to the Memphis Grizzlies. Though LeBron James has turned it on a bit in recent games, the lack of success from those performances makes them null and void to the big man, especially when compared with the Warriors.
