Did shaq and lebron play on the same team?

Yes. LeBron James played alongside Shaquille O’Neal in Cleveland for a single season in 2009-10 before departing for Miami.

One is the King, a reigning MVP who at age 24 needs only a championship to complete his resume. The other is a larger-than-life personality who may be past the prime of his career but remains an undeniable force and hungers for a fifth NBA title.

LeBron and Shaq. Teammates.

The Cleveland Cavaliers executed a monster trade in 2009 to unite the superstars, acquiring Shaquille O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns in hopes he can help LeBron James deliver this seemingly sports-cursed city its first major pro championship in 45 years.

"Shaq is an incredible ballplayer and a four-time NBA champion," James said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. "I have a lot of respect for him and his game. It will be a real honor to play with Shaq as my teammates and I look forward to another great season with the Cavs."

"I was elated about the trade because I get to play with one of the greatest players to ever play the game in LeBron James," O'Neal said during ESPN's draft telecast. He expects "a lot of fun, a lot of just having a good time and a lot of smiling, and a lot of winning." Read more at ESPN.
