The Los Angeles Lakers are set to watch yet another franchise great enter the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. After winning three championships for the Lakers, Shaquille O’Neal will be enshrined into basketball immortality.
The Diesel will become the 24th player to play for the Lakers and be inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining the likes of Magic Johnson, George Mikan, and Jerry West.
The energy the 15-time NBA All-Star brought was a consistent basis and was cherished throughout all of Los Angeles. During their dynasty days, O’Neal and his partner in crime, Kobe Bryant, led the cavalry and weren’t intimidated by anything in the way.
