Shaquille O’Neal has some history with locker room soap operas.
O’Neal’s clashes with Kobe Bryant are legendary in NBA history. The Los Angeles Lakers won three straight titles with their two superstars, then broke up as egos got in the way. It’s a cautionary tale.
The situation the New Orleans Saints face this season isn’t the same. Drew Brees’ comments to Yahoo Finance on not disrespecting the flag infuriated some teammates, who took to social media to criticize their quarterback.
It’s not the same as the Shaq-Kobe Lakers feud, but O’Neal told the Saints to avoid the same pitfalls.
