CLEVELAND: NBA superstars LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal became teammates when the Cleveland Cavaliers completed a blockbuster trade for O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
James is a reigning MVP who at age 24 needs only a championship to complete his resume. O'Neal, 37, is a larger-than-life personality who may be past the prime of his career but remains an undeniable force and hungers for a fifth NBA title.
The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns in hopes he can help LeBron James deliver this seemingly sports-cursed city its first major pro championship in 45 years.
