About this listen

How exactly did Shaq decide on joining the Lakers? Was it always his number one choice, or did the Orlando Magic basically buy his plane ticket to LAX? Charles Diamond recounts the tale of Shaquille O'Neal's 1996 free agency, a story told originally by Joel Corry of CBS Sports, who was an assistant to Shaq's then agent Leonard Armato. This is a textbook case of how NOT to treat your star player-turned free agent, and a pivot point not only in NBA free agency history, but also Los Angeles Lakers history.
