Shaquille O’Neal fired after the Lakers’ new defeat in the NBA
After yet another defeat in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers sank down the competition table. In eleventh place in the Western Conference, the Lakers would now be eliminated from the tournament season.With 19 wins so far, the team is in serious danger of missing out even on the play-in stage, which would be a huge disappointment for local fans. In the last match, without the presence of Lebron James, the team had problems and ended up being defeated by the Utah Jazz, 132 x 125. In fact, injuries to the team’s athletes are happening with some frequency.
Shaquille O’Neal sobre o momento do Lakers:
“O que eu sei e posso dizer com propriedade é que o currículo é importante num vestiário.
Você vai me dizer que LeBron James escuta o que Darvin Ham tem a dizer? Que A.D escuta ele? Todos sabem a resposta dessas perguntas.

Given this scenario, Shaquille O’Neal, the team’s idol and also one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA, spoke about the current situation of the Lakers, who seem to have no strength to recover in the competition and qualify for the post-season. .
Shaq, champion center with the team, was tough and spared no criticism for the team, pointing out one of the reasons that explains the current moment experienced by the Los Angeles franchise.
NBA idol is tough on the Lakers’ situation in the competition
The team’s former number 34, a number that was retired by the Lakers after his retirement from basketball, Shaq won the NBA on four occasions and is one of the competition’s most successful athletes.
When commenting on the Lakers, the former player shot at Darvin Ham, the team’s coach and who was considered by Shaq as someone who “doesn’t have the experience of a champion to manage the Lakers”. The former player also stated that Lebron James and Anthony Davis do not listen to the coach, due to their resume, which is not ideal.
– What I know and can say with confidence is that the CV is important in a locker room. Are you going to tell me that LeBron James listens to what Darvin Ham has to say? Which AD does he listen to? Everyone knows the answer to these questions.
Without wanting to disrespect Ham, others can even listen to him, but without the experience of a champion, if I’m a guy in this locker room, why would I listen to a guy who never reached the top – said Shaq.
