The Lakers changed hands for $10 billion! O Neal joked: I should give me 50 million, and I have made a contribution.

Recently, Jenny Buss sold the Lakers to Dodgers boss Mark Walter for $10 billion, and the news caused a sensation in the basketball world. As a hero who once brought three championships to the Lakers, O'Neal joked about not getting a share of it on a podcast.

"The Lakers sold for $10 billion...and I got nothing, buddy," O'Neal said. "They just said 'Thank you, Shaquille' to you. But it's the credit of the magician, me and Kobe, can I get something? Can I get a check for $50 million?" O'Neal teased.

In fact, O'Neal did not get any gains from the $10 billion deal. Unlike the Magic, the Magic once owned a stake in the Lakers but sold it all in 2010, and O'Neal never became a real shareholder in the Lakers. But he has always wanted to form an NBA team in Las Vegas.
