Shaquille O’Neal isn’t just thinking about NBA ownership—he’s thinking about doing it alongside some big names. The Lakers legend recently opened up on his podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq, about the possibility of teaming up with former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and NBA superstar LeBron James to take on ownership of a future NBA team. O’Neal, who once held a minority stake in the Sacramento Kings, has consistently expressed a desire to re-enter NBA ownership, and he sees Cuban and James as ideal partners in this venture.
Cuban, who sold his Mavericks stake last year, joined Shaq on the podcast to discuss the potential of the partnership, which now includes the possibility of bringing in LeBron. O’Neal seemed thrilled about joining forces with James, who has long voiced his own aspirations to own an NBA team. “The possibility of including LeBron is incredible,” Shaq hinted, expressing excitement at what such a powerhouse trio could achieve.
Shaq’s post-NBA life has been marked by a diverse investment portfolio, from Google and Lyft to fast-food chains like Papa John’s and Five Guys. He’s no stranger to big business moves, and with a potential partnership including Cuban’s business acumen and James’ influence in the league, this team could be a serious contender in NBA ownership.
While it’s still a vision for now, fans can’t help but wonder: Will this dream trio make NBA ownership history? Let us know your thoughts on Shaq, LeBron, and Cuban teaming up!
