Legendary NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal has confidently predicted the Dallas Mavericks as the champions of the upcoming NBA season.
Despite their underwhelming performance in the previous season, where the Mavericks failed to secure a spot in the play-in tournament, O’Neal’s prediction indicates a strong faith in the team’s ability to rally and achieve success.
In contrast to O’Neal’s optimistic forecast, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas anticipates a similar outcome for the Mavericks as the previous season, where they faced disappointment in securing a play-in tournament berth.
Additionally, O’Neal’s predictions extend beyond the Mavericks, as he anticipates Spurs’ top draft pick Victor Wembanyama to be awarded the coveted title of Rookie of the Year.
Furthermore, O’Neal has earmarked Ben Simmons as the Most Improved Player and Nikola Jokic as the prospective recipient of his third Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
