Shaquille O’Neal, one of the greatest players in Los Angeles Lakers history, and perhaps the big dominant big man in NBA history – says he’s interested in the team’s head coaching job.
Yes, he has never even come close to being a head coach, but he reportedly is credited with helping one of L.A.’s best players.
When L.A. played the Orlando Magic during the regular season, the legendary center happened to be sitting courtside, and he talked to Russell Westbrook about making some tweaks to his game.
Westbrook, who was reportedly hard to instruct and didn’t seem to get along with head coach Frank Vogel, seemed receptive to O’Neal’s advice.
