He helped Los Angeles Lakers to get 3 championship trophies and also got another championship ring for Miami Heat.

His contributions were significant to the entire NBA, but we specifically appreciate what he did with and what he meant to the Lakers during his eight years with us. We have three championships that we wouldn’t have won without him, and we will forever be grateful for his significant contributions to those teams.”

Thank you @Shaq for leading the @Lakers to 3 titles. We loved every minute of it! I often wonder how many they would've won if he stayed.
