Shaquille O'Neal defended LeBron James after his transition from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason. O'Neal stated that James is not chasing rings as he already has championships, describing the move as 'ring continuancy.' However, he acknowledged that while James won one title with the Lakers, it does not place him alongside other Lakers legends who have won multiple championships. For the moment, James' career is viewed within the context of his achievements, but O'Neal suggested that more titles could elevate James' legacy further among Lakers greats.
