Shaq’s Big Dream: Owning an NBA Team
Alright, hoop heads, let’s dive into some juicy NBA gossip! Ever since Shaq hung up his size 22 sneakers, he’s been dreaming about owning a slice of the NBA pie. But, as you can imagine, he’s not the only one eyeing this glamorous gig. The big fella has had to switch up his game plan over the years.
Shaq’s Ownership Odyssey
Shaq once thought about snagging a piece of the Phoenix Suns, but when he heard Jeff Bezos was sniffing around, he backed off. I mean, how do you compete with the Amazon kingpin? Recently, on his own show, “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” he dropped a hint that he might team up with Mark Cuban and LeBron James. Talk about a power trio! Cuban even said, “We get me, you, LeBron โ we might have something there.”

Vegas, Baby! The Next NBA Hotspot?
Now, letโs talk about Las Vegas. This city isn’t just for high rollers and Elvis impersonators anymore. It’s becoming a sports mecca, and the NBA is taking notice. JJ Reddick, whoโs now coaching, mentioned how Vegas is killing it with sports teams. “It’s a place people love to visit,” he said. And honestly, who wouldnโt want to catch a game in Sin City?
Draymond Green chimed in after the Warriors took down the Lakers, saying, “Basketball or football or baseball or anything else is only going to add to that.” I think Vegas is ready for the NBA spotlight. It’s like the city is putting on its best suit, ready to hit the big time.
WNBA Stars Weigh In
The buzz around Vegas isn’t just coming from the NBA. WNBA stars are hyped too. Dearica Hamby from the Sparks talked about how the city shows up for basketball. “They don’t get this experience often outside of Aces basketball,” she said. And her teammate, Rae Burrell, added, “There’s just always so much support in Las Vegas.” I mean, if the WNBA is thriving here, why not bring in the NBA too?
So, what do you think? Is Vegas about to become the next NBA hotspot, or is this just another flashy idea that won’t pan out? Let me know your thoughts!
