Shaquille O'Neal comments on Buss siblings' decision to sell Lakers stake

Shaquille O'Neal expressed understanding regarding five of the six Buss siblings' choice to sell their 17.8% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers. The move follows majority owner Mark Walter's recent agreement to sell his share to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. O'Neal noted that the sale appears to be a strong business decision, referencing the significant increase in valuation since the team's original purchase by Dr. Jerry Buss in 1979. Jeanie Buss, the only sibling opposed to the sale, is reportedly exploring ways to retain a 15% ownership stake while maintaining her role as governor until at least 2030.
