The Orlando Magic are currently ranked as the 15th seed in the eastern conference with the record of 8 wins and 39 losses at .170 as the team initiates a rebuild and on the other hand the Los Angeles Lakers are ranked as the 7th seed in the western conference with the record tied at 23 wins and 23 losses at .500 as the title favourites even before the season started are now having a inconsistent run and blaming their point guard Russell Westbrook and Head Coach Frank Vogel for it.

Shaquille O’Neal coaches Russell Westbrook amid the game
Russell Westbrook played a important role in the win as he dropped 18 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists while coming up as a better supporting cast for LeBron James‘ on-going prime MVP calibre performance of 29 points. After all this a video of Russell getting a piece of advice from Shaquille O’Neal has taken over the internet as Shaq being a Laker legend himself wants it to be in good hands though he isn’t on their board or supporting cast.
In the video Shaquille is seen criticizing Russell for his illogical pace where he is running and controlling the ball a bit too fast as he quotes: “You’re playing way too f*****g fast”. There was a bit of more exchange between them but nothing can be said as the video recorded by the fan has crowd noises all over it and fans have come up with some reading and predictions for the exchange find some of those below at the end.
The Los Angeles Lakers currently have their radar turned on and in hope of improvement and more mobility they may make some major changes relating to the coaching staff and starters. As the veteran team isn’t really living up to expectations and falling short we may find many stars including Russell Westbrook shipped to different teams. But nothing really can be made or said of the rumours as the team leader who recruited the star and hand-picked him is often seen vouching Russell Westbrook as they now share a special relationship.
