An NBA champion this season wouldn't deserve an asterisk, but the Lakers would have earned some kind of symbol if they won after the coronavirus shutdown writes ArashMarkazi.
Mbenga has long been committed to helping his native Congo, where COVID-19 is taking a toll. His sister recently died of the disease.
O’Neal didn’t seem to be taking a direct shot at the Lakers or any other team in position to win a championship, but his words surely struck a nerve with a lot of Lakers fans. The Lakers would be the No 1 seed in the Western Conference if the season began with the playoffs, so those words coming from one of the franchise’s all-time greats had to sting.
Former Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal believes whichever team wins the NBA title following the coronavirus shutdown this season should have an asterisk by its name in the record books. In some instances, an asterisk is attached to a player or team that cheated to attain an unfair advantage against the competition, resulting in them winning a title or claiming a record they didn’t deserve. That would not be the case if the NBA resumed the season and carried out a full 16-team postseason in a “bubble” where all teams would play on a neutral court without fans.
No one has been more adamant about the season resuming than LeBron James, who tweeted, “As soon as it’s safe we would like to finish our season. I’m ready and our team is ready. Nobody should be canceling anything.”
