Shaq debuts tonight against the Lakers

 

Tonight Shaq will really need to prove that he’s “The Real Deal” since he will be wearing the Suns shirt for the first time and interestingly, against the Lakers, the team he helped to obtain 3 straight NBA titles.

Shaquille O’Neal has more disfavorable opinions than anything else, mostly because of his age, but the truth is that he has the experience to lead any team, including Phoenix.

The Lakers are going to be a very difficult first test for “The Diesel”, but he’s not the star of the team, he knows that his position is more of a teacher one.

He has 15 seasons on his shoulders and a solid professional career many would kill for, I am just not sure if he will reach the glory with the Suns, but he at least is trying to stay in the game, and that is good enough for one of the richest players on all sports.

Both teams are very tight, with the Suns leading just by one game, they are 37-16 and the Lakers 36-17 in the Pacific Division, but Los Angeles have won 2 of their last 3 matches, and tonight is the last meeting between the two franchises, it is surely a great time for Phoenix to level things up.
