The lyrics about the Black Mamba and his daughter Gigi stood as a highlight. However, it did not stop there. Did Shaq hint at buying a WNBA team’s ownership? That’s certainly what it seems like. A few weeks back, the Los Angeles Lakers legend made news for teasing a possible comeback to the NBA. Not as a player, but as an owner.
