More than twenty years after having challenged themselves in a legendary Western Conference final in 2002, Shaquille O'Neal And Mike Bibby meet in Sacramento, no longer to compete but to collaborate.
A month after “Bib” became a coach of the University of Sacramento State,, Espn teaches us that the “shaq” becomes its General Manager (GM). And this, on a “volunteer” basis since he will not be remunerated for this mission.
“” Shaq and I have a good relationship. She was probably not so good when we played against each other. There have been a lot of attempts to create a rivalry and try to do something bigger it for the league Mike Bibby had also recalled during his presentation conference.
The O'Neal invest Sacramento
Joining Sacramento State will also allow Shaquille O'Neal to find none other than his son Shaqir, who recently gave his verbal agreement to evolve among the “Hornets” at the start of the school year.
This program is clearly not the most prestigious of the “Big Sky Conference”, because since his arrival in the first division in 1991, he only finished two seasons with a positive assessment, in 2015 and 2020. Without ever participating in the “March Madness” …
But the young president of Sacramento State, Luke Wood, intends to use the notoriety and the experience of the high level of Mike Bibby and Shaquille O'Neal to grow and try to attract more young players with high potential in the coming years.
Note that the “Shaq” had already turned to Sacramento after his career, by becoming a shareholder of the Kings in 2013, before having to resell his shares because of a conflict of interest due to his advertising contracts.
