*Shaquille O’Neal had one simple reaction to being snubbed from the list of the Lakers’ most important players.
In 2021, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss appeared on the All the Smoke podcast and she ranked the five most important Lakers player of all time. She named the late Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson, LeBron James and former head coach Phil Jackson, Urban Hollywood 411 reports.
O’Neal reacted recently on social media — posting a clip of Buss on the podcast and captioning it: “Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,”

Meanwhile, Gilbert Arenas revealed recently that Shaq and his Lakers teammates were banned from hazing a young Kobe Bryant when the teenager first landed in Los Angeles.
“People don’t realize, you know, when Kobe got drafted, Jerry Buss and them told Shaq and the Lakers, ‘He’s off-limits. You cannot haze him. There’s no rookie hazing him. F*** off,” Arenas explained in a VladTV interview.
“That’s the type of future they seen with him,” Arenas added. “Protected him all the time. Right? And, as owners in these leagues, that’s really how you’re supposed to treat your number one pick or your future. … There’s things that can break mentally, right? You’re talking about an 18, 19-year-old kid who’s coming in, trying to fit in, right? You’re trying to fit into this thing, right? So, whatever you get in your first few years is what really you’re turning into. So, if you don’t really nourish what you’re getting early, it can turn out bad.”
