O'Neal said Saturday prior to the Western Conference's NBA All-Star practice that he has thought informally about some day putting together a group to purchase the Magic from owner Rich DeVos. "I think when I'm done playing I could be one of the powers that be in Orlando that could put together a group that could guarantee to keep the team there," said O'Neal, who owns a 64,000-square-foot mansion in southwest Orlando. "One, I live there and if I'm going to continue to be in the basketball business I want to have the team in my hometown. I don't want to be like (Magic Chief Operating Officer) Bob (Vander Weide) living in Michigan going back and forth. I know some guys -- Michael Eisner wants to buy a team, Wal-Mart wants to buy a team. We'll do that and then go to the mayor and if they won't give us the money to buy an arena, Wal-Mart will build it for us. It's something I've thought a lot about." </div> Full Story
Shaq does say alot. Im not sure that he could handle that. Shaq is a great player but the smartest man on the court. Have you heard about his action at the Sixers game. He thought Kyle Korver was Ashton Kutcher and he thought he would be punk'd. Not a man to own a team. Dont get me wrong. I love to see Shaq play but not to own a team.
Shaq buying us would be great. He could get us some new personel, a new arena, a new perspective, and a new begining. it would be a real great thing for Shaq to do especially if he buys it and T-Mac is still there.
Shaq, that'd be pretty funny in the sense he has a great sense of humor. However I think his ego and attitude would get to him here too. He wouldn't be able to manage probably and would probably end up doing something extreme again.
It's funny. Everytime these two teams play against each other, Shaq always wants to have the upper hand. He always wants to score as many points as he can against them. But now he's saying he wants to own the Magic someday? I really hope that was a joke.
