During the free agency in 2004 one of the biggest trade decisions within the NBA was made. Shaquille O’Neal, a three-time NBA winner with the Los Angeles Lakers, was traded to the Miami Heat. This came after an ongoing feud between him and the Lakers ownership regarding his pay, further ignited by his verbal confrontations with Kobe Bryant.

Regardless of the nature of his departure Shaq soon found an ideal partner in Dwyane Wade, forming a partnership that won him his fourth ring in 2006. Shaq and Wade have since then become close friends. ‘The Flash’ recently spoke on his close relations with Shaq and how they ended up having the time of their lives.

I didn’t even know you could do that.“ Continuing to talk about it, the former NBA MVP said, “He showed up and he’s like, ‘Man, Flash, what am I doing? I’m like just enjoy it.’ And then like he didn’t want to stop he kept asking for more tries.” When told that he couldn’t keep getting chances Shaq replied, “I’ll buy another life.”
