While the franchise is already going great, O’Neal always likes to go bigger. They are now looking to open all around Texas including San Antonio. But what is the beef between Shaq and San Antonio?
Notably, coming into the league, O’Neal wanted to be the best. And in his competition was San Antonio center, Davis Robinson. He created fake drama in his head and shamed the Admiral for denying him a signature. While he did apologize, Shaq ran with the story throughout his entire career.
