Shaquille O'Neal, Stephen Curry win Oscars as producers of 'The Queen of Basketball' documentary

The story of Lusia Harris only gets better: It's now won an Oscar.

And just like his longtime Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant did four years ago in another category, Shaquille O'Neal can say he's an Oscar winner, as well.

"The Queen of Basketball" -- with a pair of basketball legends in O'Neal and Stephen Curry among the executive producers and top promoters of the 22-minute film -- won the Academy Award for short subject documentary Sunday.

It comes about two months after the death of Harris, who scored the first basket in Olympic women's basketball history and was the first woman officially drafted by an NBA team.
