The Fans Have Mixed Thoughts For Shaq’s Offer
30 years back, Shaquille O’Neal helped Orlando Magic and made it one of the best teams out there in the NBA. And now he wants to go back to the team and help again. Hearing the podcast, many fans do want Shaq to buy the team as they want the team to be away from the DeVos family. The NBA fans are not a fan of the DeVos family as looking at their history of owning Amway, the MLM company, and a mercenary company that led to a lot of war crimes.
If there are any chances of Shaq and Dennis Scott buying Orlando Magic which fans are hoping to be true. They are also hoping that the former members T-Mac, Nick Anderson, and Jameer Nelson get together with Shaq as well.
