Shaq Had Hilarious Instagram Comment Reacting to LaVar Ball's Lakers Trade Comment

The Los Angeles Lakers completed a blockbuster deal with the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday that's truthfully been in the making since January, sending Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-rounders to Nola in exchange for superstar Anthony Davis.

Since his son was traded away from his hometown team, LaVar Ball obviously couldn't remain silent for long and claimed that the Lakers will regret dealing Lonzo and that the franchise will never win another championship.

And in typical Shaquille O'Neal fashion, the humorous Hall-of-Fame center replied to LaVar's outlandish comments the only way he knows how -- hysterically defending his honor.

I mean, he's not wrong.

Honestly, who could forget the moment in 2004 when the Lakers traded the beloved Shaq Diesel to the Miami Heat in exchange for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, and a future first-rounder?

O'Neal was a three-time Finals MVP with the Lakers, as he helped Kobe Bryant and LA win back-to-back-to-back championships from 2000-02. At the time of the trade, O'Neal was an 11-time All-Star with career averages of 27.1 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

Of course, Shaq went on to win lift the Larry O'Brien trophy for a fourth and final time in 2006 when the Heat defeated the Mavericks in six games.

Thank you, Shaq.

As much as we don't enjoy listening to LaVar's ridiculous opinions, it's just as satisfying to see them swiftly dismissed and labeled irrelevant
