The Lakers icon Shaquille O'Neal has reacted to a recent ranking that includes him with a surprisingly optimistic note

The Lakers icon Shaquille O'Neal considers himself one of the greatest Lakers and NBA players of all time. He usually doesn't agree with rankings, but this time, a recent top 10 list of the greatest Los Angeles Lakers players of all time has been released and he has agreed.

O'Neal is known to consider himself one of the best players ever in the NBA and in the Los Angeles Lakers franchise, this time, the Fadeaway World website released a list that included him in the No. 4 place and he has reacted to it.

The full list has Kobe Bryant at the No.1 position, Magic Johnson as the second with the other showtime era legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the third position. Then, at No. 4 sits the big man Shaquille O'Neal.

At 5 is Jerry West, 6. Elgin Baylor, 7. George Mikan, 8. James Worthy, 9. LeBron James and 10. Wilt Chamberlain. With O'Neal being in fourth place, the Lakers big man legend took to IG to say he agrees with the least and his ranking by simply posting: "Thanks, I'll take it."

Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were the new blood the Lakers needed

After the showtime era, the Lakers weren't great, until Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant arrived to Los Angeles in 1996. The Lakers needed a superstar to put them back on top and they got two. O'Neal and Kobe finally led the Lakers to the championship in 2000 and dominated for three straight years up to the title in 2002.
