Shaquille O'Neal: 'I'm jealous of LeBron James. He's almost a billionaire, I'm not'

Shaquille O’Neal: “Jealousy motivates me. I’m jealous of Steph Curry. I wish I could shoot like that. I’m jealous of Klay. I wish my jump shot was that pretty. I’m jealous of LeBron. He’s almost a billionaire, I’m not. Instead of taking that jealousy and turning into hate it turns into motivation.”Source: YouTube

LeBron James is ‘happy’ and ‘proud’ of Kyrie Irving, but ‘mad at the same time that I’m not his running mate’

Kyrie Irving is a great player- a Hall of Fame player- but this might be a just a bit over the top from LeBron: “He’s the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen.” Hmmmmmm – 6:45 PM

New story: LeBron James, in the latest @mindthegamepod, said that seeing Kyrie Irving explode in the 1st half of Game 1 of the conference finals to upset MIN made him believe DAL could go all the way to win the championship es.pn/3Vu9HJ1 – 3:25 PM

In the wake of LeBron lamenting the fact that Kyrie isn’t on his team anymore, I looked back on the three moments in which he almost, maybe, possibly became a Laker
Was it ever possible? What would it have cost? Do the Lakers regret missing out today?

More on this storyline
Jovan Buha on JJ Redick: “The Lakers have made it known, as well as Klutch Sports CEO and Davis’s agent Rich Paul, that this should be more of a Davis hire than a LeBron James hire, given that LeBron may only play another year, two years, three years max in the NBA and Davis is signed for another four years with the Lakers.” -via YouTube / June 5, 2024
StatMuse: Most points in a Finals game: 61 — Elgin (1962) 55 — MJ (1993) 55 — Barry (1967) 53 — West (1969) 51 — LeBron (2018) 50 — Giannis (2021) 50 — Pettit (1958) Will someone score 50+ this year? pic.twitter.com/VpataTMW7N -via Twitter @statmuse / June 4, 2024
NBA on ESPN: “I think everybody who has had Kyrie as a teammate is reminiscing.” 😅 @DGreen_14 responds to LeBron missing Kyrie as his “running mate.” pic.twitter.com/XnLkUFiJFs -via Twitter @ESPNNBA / June 4, 2024
