The Los Angeles Dodgers announced they are giving out a bobblehead of Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O\u2019Neal on their June 20 game against the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers\u2019 initial list of bobblehead nights includes 21 giveaways, though O\u2019Neal is just one of three non-Dodgers to have one in their honor so far. The other two are famous rapper and actor Ice Cube and LAFC star Son Heung-min. Ice Cube\u2019s will be handed out on Mar. 12 against the San Francisco Giants, while Heung-min will have his hosted on July 11 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n
This also marks the second bobblehead for O\u2019Neal in 2026 as FOCO recently released a bobblehead<\/a> commemorating the three Finals MVPs he won as a member of the Lakers. FOCO also released a bobblehead depicting current purple and gold stars Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.<\/p>\n The Dodgers do a great job promoting other Los Angeles sports legends, and O\u2019Neal will have fans coming in droves considering what he means to the city. O\u2019Neal was the driving force behind the Lakers\u2019 \u201cthree-peat\u201d at the turn of the new millennium and they remain as the last team to win three consecutive championships. <\/p>\n However, the Dodgers are trying to accomplish the feat themselves and are in in prime position to do so as they\u2019re once again considered the overwhelming favorites to win again. The Dodgers wasted no time adding to their star-studded roster in free agency, signing the best closer in Edwin Diaz and following it up by signing Kyle Tucker, who was the best overall player left in the market.<\/p>\n Los Angeles is blessed to have such great teams to root for and it\u2019ll be fun for fans to see O\u2019Neal\u2019s bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium later this year. <\/p>\n James Harden honored to pass Shaquille O\u2019Neal on the NBA\u2019s all-time scoring list <\/p>\n At his peak, Shaquille O\u2019Neal was the most dominant player in the game as he could score at will against any defense. No matter how hard teams tried to guard O\u2019Neal, he was simply too strong and too skilled to be stopped.<\/p>\n Injuries sapped O\u2019Neal of his production in the later years of his career, but he still managed to finish his career with 28,596 points. O\u2019Neal previously held the No. 9 spot on the NBA\u2019s all-time scoring list but recently saw Cleveland Cavaliers star James Harden surpass him.<\/p>\n As someone that was born and raised in Southern California, Harden called it a true honor to pass O\u2019Neal<\/a> on the list.<\/p>\n
