...price is $123 million for seven years--call it sticker Shaq. That's what the Los Angeles Lakers will pay Shaquille O'Neal to leave the Orlando Magic and play basketball on the left coast. "I am a military child," said O'Neal, son of an Army sergeant. "I'm used to relocating." The Shaq's signing capped a frenetic week that reshaped the rosters of many National Basketball Association teams and marked a radical shift in the way team owners spend money. When the music stopped, the owners had agreed to dole out more than $600 million...
This is the real Dream Team. We know that the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team, which trademarked the name, is going to win in Atlanta, barring a natural disaster or an alien invasion. We know that Shaquille O'Neal is going to be slamming on Angola, that Gary Payton will be stripping Croatia of the ball and that Charles Barkley will jab Lithuania with his elbows. Americans may love every moment of it, but they'll know the outcome of every game. There will be no dream there, only the hard realism of superiority. The players on the women...
Between low-octane drinks and high-calorie desserts, diners can ogle costumes actually inhabited by movie icons (Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump fatigues, Sylvester Stallone's Rocky boxing trunks), guitars stroked by rock stars, gear made magical by sports greats (Ken Griffey Jr.'s Louisville Slugger; Shaquille O'Neal's minivan-size hoop shoes); or a wall of Motown gold records...

While Laker fans are excited about the addition of a new megastar to the Los Angeles scene, the reaction in Orlando may not be as negative as one would expect. In a poll in the Orlando Sentinel earlier this week...
...that have damaged Major League Baseball. In one weekend, teams committed nearly half a billion dollars to eight free agents, three of whom have yet to win a single NBA playoff game. And that doesn't include the biggest fish in this summer's free-agent sea -- Shaquille O'Neal, who has been offered $115 million over seven years to re-sign with Orlando. The barrage of deals began after the league and its players agreed last Thursday to a new labor deal that eases player movement. Free agency in baseball has exacerbated problems between small and large market teams...
