Best Player of February, 52 Wins and 4 Losses!

"Best Player of February—Shaquille O'Neal!"

"Woohoo! Takeoff!" O'Neal sprang to his feet, as happy as a 550-pound kid!

Having risen to become the league's top center this season and claimed the title of king among kings, the Big Shark had finally secured an award that was crucial in the MVP race.

Player of the Month!

This was O'Neal's sixth season! As a superstar center who had put up 24+14 upon entering the league and averaged 29+13 starting from his second season, as well as the youngest member of the 50 Greatest Players, O'Neal had only won Player of the Month four times before!

This was his fifth!

Before the award was split between the Eastern Conference and Western Conference, with two players receiving it each month, Player of the Month had always belonged exclusively to superstars. It could even be called a mini-MVP.

Its prestige was extremely high!

"Congratulations, Shaq!" Everyone, including Kobe, offered O'Neal their congratulations.

The Big Shark deserved the award!

He had averaged 35.6 points and 16.7 rebounds for the month, carrying half the Lakers on his own!

Every game, he had utterly demolished the opposing interior with overwhelming force.

Even when double-teamed or triple-teamed, he never backed down!

That was the Big Shark—one of the greatest centers in history!

A peak Big Shark was a monster capable of averaging 38 points and 16.7 rebounds in the Finals!

"Brothers! Tonight, drinks are on me at Unicorn!" O'Neal beamed.

"Awesome!"

After winning their twelfth straight game, the Lakers had reached a terrifying record!

52 wins and 4 losses!

"I've truly never seen anything like this!" Even the normally steady Harris could no longer remain calm!

For a head coach, nothing was more gratifying than seeing his team achieve results.

The entire Lakers organization was in a frenzy, and
