Shaquille O’Neal is joining the ownership group of the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings announced Monday that O’Neal has acquired a minority stake in the team under new owner Vivek Ranadive. The Kings will introduce the four-time NBA champion at a news conference Tuesday in Sacramento.

O’Neal tormented the Kings during the height of his career with the rival Los Angeles Lakers, even dubbing the franchise the “Sacramento Queens.”
