Shaquille O’Neal won the first three of four championships of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Clearly, his family is inclined to see this team achieve the same glory once more. Myles O’Neal was showing all that enthusiasm on his Instagram Stories.
He displayed who he’s pinned his championship hopes on with a typically threatening fan statement. “Lakers I dont have the time for you’ll to be f**in around this year.”
At the time of Myles’ message to his faves, the third quarter of the Lakers vs Suns game had ended and the LA team was down 72-84. His telepathic maneuvers succeeded as the game moved on to the fourth quarter. The Lakers turned the tide and closed the game 100-95. We know Myles had his fingers crossed, hoping the lead remained intact. We need his update on how he celebrated that win he wanted.
Having grown up in LA and in Miami during Shaq’s playing career, Myles’ loyalties are clearly showing. He most recently cheered for his favorite NFL team, the San Diego Chargers, at their home game. His dad’s former teammate, Dwyane Wade, was at the game too. Both couldn’t resist sharing their updates from that game.

Shaquille O’Neal has a stern stance on the Lakers
After a 107-119 loss to Denver in the season opener, the Lakers were disparaged harshly. Analysts were especially hard on Anthony Davis, who went scoreless in the 2nd half of that game. In their first home game of the season, the LeBron James-led Lakers managed to redeem themselves with this win.
However, Shaq is not holding his breath. In this very game, he commented on the Lakers’ roller-coaster trajectory, sparking a debate on the TNT panel. O’Neal expects more consistency than the team bouncing back after a loss. Myles’ comment earlier supports that sentiment too.
