The Los Angeles Lakers retired the #34 jersey of Shaquille O’Neal at the Staple Center and over 18,000 fans where in attendance to witness history!
Before the ceremony Shaq told reporters,
“It gets me real emotional. Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, and my father teaching me about the game, always mentioning Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and telling me when I was a young medium juvenile delinquent that, ‘If you do things right, son, maybe one day you can be as great as those guys.'”
