Is Shaquille O'Neal about to become the owner of an NBA team?

According to the "Diesel", it depends on Jeff Bezos.

The former player told "TMZ" that if the owner of "Amazon", and who is considered the second richest man in the world after Elon Musk, decides to submit an offer to purchase Robert Sarber's share of the basketball team from Arizona, he is ready to join him in the deal.

O'Neal, whose net worth is estimated at $400 million, admitted that he considered trying to buy the Suns until he heard reports that Bezos might enter the race.

"No one can compete with JB. You know why? Because just today I ordered 50 things from Amazon. That money goes to JB," Shaq said.

"If he wants me inside, I'd be happy to talk to him. But as far as trying to buy an entire team myself and compete with him, let me tell you something - I'm afraid of JB."

In addition to Bezos, the former CEO of "Disney" Bob Iger, and Larry Ellison who is one of the founders of "Oracle", were mentioned as candidates to buy Sarber's share in the Suns. The latter, who owns about a third of the ownership of Phoenix, decided to give it up after being suspended for a year and fined 10 million Dollar following an investigation on behalf of the NBA that found that he used derogatory terms for blacks at least five times and was involved in "several cases of unequal behavior towards women".
