The 1996-97 season welcomed Shaquille O’Neal to the Lakers to join a rookie Kobe Bryant. Winning Olympic gold over the summer, Shaq joined the LA's pantheon of Hall of Fame bigs.
Shaq Diesel was an All-Star alongside teammate Eddie Jones and finished fourth in scoring for the season. This was the start of the most dominant pairing in league history, the arrival of the Shaq & Kobe era.
The NBA logo appears in gold, commemorating the NBA's 50th Anniversary season.
