O'Neal believes Bryant's success has earned him the right to be towards the top of the all-time list. He explained his stance on his podcast with featured guest and former NBA player JJ Redick. “The only thing I don't like about the [GOAT] conversation is they don't put my boy [Kobe Bryant] in it. If you're gonna be throwing names around, you gotta have my boy's name in it. That's like saying, ‘What are the best luxury cars out there? Lexus or Beemer?' You gotta put the Mercedes in there too,” Shaq said via The Big Podcast.
What’s your level of interest in being the majority team owner? Sam Garvin: “Honestly, none. I would have none. Since we bought it in 2004, I was vice chairman for 18 years until Robert and Adam Silver asked me to perform this function. And my work is a lot on the business side. So if you come to a game and you look up and you see PayPal and Fry’s and Lexus, those are relationships that in my other business as I’m in promotion execution business. A lot of those relationships I was able to bring to the Suns in ’04 and they became sponsors or marketing partners. I’ve greatly enjoyed helping to add value like bringing people like Fry’s, Leslie’s Pool Supplies, Lexus as partners, Verizon, PayPal to the Suns. I really enjoyed that role and that’s the role if I were to be part of the new group buying it, I would want to have that same role, or I wouldn’t be involved. I can help add value there, make the team better, grow revenues, give the basketball people more money to continue to have sustained success and get more players. I would not want to be the head guy like Robert was.”

Orlando police investigators said a driver intentionally hit a man with his car in the middle of a Plaza Parking Garage in Downtown Orlando around 7 p.m. Saturday. It turns out, the man struck by the car is former Orlando Magic Guard, Chris Duhon. According to the police report, Duhon and his brother-in-law, Julio Hernandez, were walking on the level 2C of the parking garage when the driver of a black Lexus started honking at them to get out of the way. Hernandez told police as the Lexus passed by, the driver rolled down his window and some words were exchanged. Then, police said driver stopped, got out of his car and argued face-to-face with Duhon. Hernandez told officers that he separated the driver and Duhon and that he and Duhon kept on walking and the suspect got back into his car. As Duhon and Hernandez got about twenty feet away from the Lexus, Hernandez told police the driver accelerated towards them. Hernandez said he was able to get out of the way, but Duhon was hit.
