?I?ll Buy Another Life?: Despite Wreaking Havoc, 7ft Shaquille O?Neal Ended Up Having the Time of His Life With Dwyane Wade

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.
