Shaq didn’t tell Penny Hardaway he was leaving Magic for the Lakers #nba #basketball

Shaq leaves the Magic for the Lakers. Oh bro. Worst day of my life right there. But here's the thing though, that was so crazy. Shaq never told me he was leaving. That's wild. Ouch. All of the international media was in there in our interview with the entire team. We're on a panel and one guy goes, how does it feel not to have Shaq as a teammate? Whoa. I was like, looked at Charles Barkley. I'm looking, I'm like, if that happens, then that will be devastating. That's exactly what I said. And they was like, he's about to sign a multi-year deal with the Lakers. And then Shaq came to my room, knocked on my door, bro, and was like, bro, I'm sorry. I should have told you, bro. I was done. I was— it killed me, bro. I was happy for him, but I knew what that meant to our franchise, bro. You can't lose that. But the thing that was so bad about that was the fans say Shaq doesn't deserve all the money he's getting because he can't make free throws. They were doing that to him. And I was like, what are y'all doing? Come on, y'all crazy. But I didn't know, BD. I was in the conference like— Crazy. I didn't know.
