Shaquille O’Neal, one of the most iconic basketball players in NBA history, recently revealed that he wished he could have played for the dominant Chicago Bulls team of the 90s. In his podcast, ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq,’ O’Neal expressed his desire to have teamed up with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen during their championship-winning era.
The former Lakers and Magic star mentioned that he would have loved to be part of a Big Three with Jordan and Pippen, who were instrumental in the Bulls’ success in the 90s. O’Neal reflected on his decision to explore free agency in 1996 and expressed regret for not considering joining the Bulls during that time.
Having spent most of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won three consecutive titles, O’Neal also earned a championship with the Miami Heat in 2006. Recently, the Orlando Magic retired his number 32 jersey, making him the first player in franchise history to receive this honor.
In another surprising turn of events, Shaquille O’Neal shared a photo on Instagram from the 2024 Super Bowl where he met the renowned singer Taylor Swift for the first time. The NBA legend gifted Swift a luxurious Judith Lieber NFL bag, showcasing their memorable encounter at the prestigious event.
