The shocking O'neal betrayal by siding with Westbrook and the Clippers vs. the Lakers

Los Angeles has two NBA teams co-existing, as the two not only share the city they play but also have the same "home" as the Crypto.com Arena see the games for both franchises, at least at the moment, as the Clippers are building a new "home" away from LA.

And the Lakers icon Shaquille O'Neal seems to be now siding with the Clippers team in the Russell Westbrook situation. The Lakers and Russ could have had a better relationship, and the stint was entirely forgettable for both parties.

The Lakers traded the PG to the Utah Jazz, and now that team is buying him out, Russ is choosing which team to play next, and the one that is the most vital possibility is the LA Clippers.

And this time, Shaquille O'Neal thinks that Westbrook will be winning by playing for the Clippers instead of the Lakers, as he considers that the purple and gold won't be in the playoffs.

What Shaq said feels like a betrayal

Even when the Shaq is a Lakers icon, he recently said on the Westbrook-Clippers situation: "If I were him, I would throw it in the face of the Lakers fans and go with the team that's making the playoffs."
