Shaq With Sac? Former Lakers Center Says He’ll Make Kings’ Cousins ‘Best Big Man In The Game’ June 25, 2013 10:36 PM
MENLO PARK (CBS13) — Owners of the Sacramento Kings are meeting with Shaquille O’Neal tonight in Sacramento.
Vivek Ranadive and Mark Mastrov sat down for dinner with the TNT analyst and former Los Angeles Lakers star at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Melo Park.
Three months after O’Neal said he thought the Kings were sold and gone at the NBA All-Star Game in Houston, the all-star center said he’s going to help tutor DeMarcus Cousins.
O’Neal said, “I’m going to make DeMarcus Cousins the best big man in the game.”
O’Neal also praised the planned new Kings arena, which won a Sacramento City Council vote to approve $6.5 million in funding for the project.

Either Shaq succeeds and Cuz maximizes his talent, which would be a joy to watch...
... or this somehow results in Cuz-Shaq finger-pointing and beef, Cuz keeps acting head-casey, and Shaq keeps being the stopgap on TNT til G-Hill or Battier takes his spot.

I am sure Shaq can get through to him. Cousins is such a talent, it would suck to see him lose a bunch of prime years to knuckleheadedness, whether his own or the Kings'.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
