Then, during an extended halftime ceremony, Shaq was greeted by actor and huge Lakers fan Jack Nicholson.
“It’s a dream come true. It’s a blessing,” O’Neal said. “I didn’t do it by myself. I had a lot of help — great teammates, great organization, the Buss family, great leadership from Phil Jackson.”
