LeBron stunned by 'unbelievable' O'Neal deal
Published 2/7/2008 at FOXSports.com News for NBA
LeBron James was in Shaq shock.
Like nearly everyone else, Cleveland's megastar was floored by Shaquille O'Neal's trade to Phoenix.
"Unbelievable," James said after practice Wednesday. "That's all I got. It's unbelievable."
O'Neal, one of the league's top centers for more than a decade, was traded by Miami to the Suns for forward Shawn Marion and guard Marcus Banks, a blockbuster deal that rocked the league like one of Shaq's backboard-bending dunks.
