NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal says he knew the Los Angeles Lakers were playing the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals before the postseason even started
NBA great Shaquille O'Neal added to the fire when he recently suggested games were indeed fixed. O'Neal relayed a storyO'Neal won three straight titles with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000-02. He later won another with the Miami Heat in 2006.
O'Neal backed his claim by telling a story about the 2000 Finals, his first championship season. The Lakers were playing the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs."True story," O'Neal said. "I've never told this story. In this first round, I forget who we were playing. I hear Phil Jackson telling Gary Vitti, `Hey, get us some hotels in Indiana because that's who we're going to play in the NBA Finals ...
The Lakers rolled through the postseason that year, meeting the Pacers in the Finals. O'Neal was named MVP while starring alongside Kobe Bryant. They defeated the Pacers and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller in six games.So you can add O'Neal to the list of conspiracy theorists.
