The Sacramento State did not find a major general manager for its basketball program – literally.
The basketball hall of Famer Shakeel O’Neel is ready to be taken to work without salary, ESPN and Sacramento B told on Monday.
The 7 -ut -1 superstar already had a connection with the school: his son Shakir last month spent two sessions in Texas Southern and then transferred to the state of Sacramento in Florida A&M last season.
Shakeel O’Neel has another tie in the region, as he was the owner of Sacramento Kings after his game days.
The role of the general manager is a relatively new addition to the college sports as the schools accommodate in a scenario that was dramatically replaced by the gradation of the broader player movement for the transfer portal along with the gradation of name, image and equality (NIL) payment.
53 -year -old Shakeel O’Neill won three NBA Championships as a center for Los Angeles LEG (winning NBA Final MVP every time) and another title with Miami Heat. He was a 15-time all-star in a career, including Orlando Magic (1993-94 to 1995–96), The Lakes (1996-97 to 2003-04), The Heat (2004-05 to 2006-07), The Phoenix Suns (2007-08), The Cleeland Cales (2009-10) and The Bustons (2009-10) and.
Since 2011, O’Neel has been a commentator at TNT’s acclaimed “NBA” television show.
In March, the Sacramento State hired former Sacramento King player Mike Bibbi to become its head coach despite lack of college coaching experience at any level. Hornets under interim coach Michael Czepil increased to 7-25 in the previous season. He left David Patrick to become an assistant coach in LSU after two sessions, with the state of Sacramento to 24-42.
