attack

on shaquille o'neal's shack the son of an army drill sergeant shaquille grew up on military bases throughout the united states and europe you were poor you didn't have much money he was born in newark But most of his formative years were spent moving between military bases around the world.

In 1985, Dale Brown, the legendary LSU coach, held a basketball clinic at a base in Germany, where he met 13-year-old Chad. , who was looking for fitness tips. I want you to tell me. Everyone tells the story of how you met Dale Brown. Okay, so he went on a basketball campaign in West Germany and then after the camera was over, I said Coach Brown, how could I increase my jumping ability? He looked at me and said: how long has it been? I've been in the army, soldier, I said no, I'm not in the army, I'm 13 years old. He went crazy.

What young Shaq apparently left a big impression on Coach Brown. He sent Shaq the entire training program from LSU. The family settled in Fort Sam. houston in san antonio la choza went to carbon high school and led his team to 68 wins in 69 games over two seasons shaq lost only one game during his entire high school

career

growing up it took a disciplinarian to make me who I'm, I was raising a good family, you know, my dad always told me, uh, you know, like everyone else, you put on your parents the same way everyone else puts on their pants, you know, be yourself, look at Shaquille O'Neal, we're looking at a six-foot hang. in the air his body is very similar to keem the dream allah against chris jackson after leading his high school to a national title chat committed to lsu and coach dale brown im in baton rouge louisiana aka the bayou country home of politics gumbo and our approach lhis basketball seven foot one almost 300 pounds, but just weeks after turning 19 o'neil was the biggest college star in a long time lhis sophomore shaquille o'neal is already being heralded as one of the best centers in the universe rumors in the world about the second coming of wilt every now and then a college player appears who catches the attention of the nba league lsu's shaquille o'neal is such a player jack found quickly success in the university game duke today they will get the ball to shaquille o'neal but their opponents resorted to dangerous fouls to prevent the beast from scoring the teams chased him in a way that was illegal the tactic was so common that it even had its own name became an instant celebrity who landed the cover of sports illustrated signing autographs and taking photos it was only a matter of time before he went to the nba shaquille o'neal can't become the greatest player to ever play basketball if he does is up to him, he has all the ability and physical abilities mental abilities family background discipline work ethic now it's only if he puts his time and his mind into it at the center a 7-1 sophomore from san antonio, texas number 33 shaquille o'neal the campus of louisiana state university in baton rouge is the best pure physical talent in america just throw it here watching how it's done here the next superstar to come to the nba the celebration of jubilation is over , was such a force at lsu that he later received his own statue espn learned that lsu shaquille o'neal will leave school a year early for the nba draft shaquille o'neal after careful deliberation has decided to waive my eligibility senior at lsu.

I'm not making this decision out of anger or frustration as you might expect, he was the first pick in the '92 Draft with the first pick in the 1992 NBA draft, the Orlando Magic select Shaquille O'Neal out of State University. Louisiana. The newest member of the Orlando Magic was as excited as any prospect in NBA history. We did a little research and discovered that in the year. that you were a rookie almost 2000 kids were named shaquille an immediate sensation the public fell in love with this giant of a man who seems so playful and happy dr jay passing it to me i had to pass it to michael jordan now it's uh shaquille o' Neal's turn, Are you ready to take all that weight and put it on your shoulders and handle that situation?

I hope to be the most acclaimed rookie in the NBA in quite some time. Number 32 Shaquille O'Neal. I'm working on my outside shot. He said I'm starting to look at the front of the rim to try to drop O'Neal's rejections and Sally kicks him out of bounds. You do it with defense in this league. He doesn't have to score points to help this club. if he rebounds and blocks shots rebound now the magic with one last shot opportunity o'neal runs down the court he was selected as the NBA player of the week in his first week of playing in the NBA out of all the rookies I have interviewed on last a couple of years ago, Shaquille isn't in awe of the NBA, he's actually a fun guy to be around, he keeps everyone loose because he loves to have fun, the shack

attack

, huh yeah, spend some time with Shaquille O 'Neal and you'll be able to find out that he hasn't gotten carried away with his high numbers from earlier in the season, around 23 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks per game, although the rest of the league has Zakiel doing a good job on defensive rebounds , that's five rebounds he would capture as rookie of the month. four times look at this ending johnny newman i looked at him and he was watching shaquille run down the track and i almost got this way or donut usually guys that size are a little shy, they don't want to be tall. i don't want to be a big cat by rejecting jre and then taking down shaq with 20 in the first half he missed only one game in his rookie year because he didn't care he was mean he was nasty he was competitive he was vindictive he signed a massive deal with Reebok as his brand began to grow, you know, 7-1, 300-pound strength, a $42 million contract and a license to print more money now, just three months into his first NBA season , Shaquille O'Neal has burst onto the scene. and he took a place alongside Jordan as perhaps the two most popular players in the NBA.

Shaq enjoyed playing against the best big men in the game like Patrick Ewing, he weighs seven and three hundred pounds that he once weighed and uses every ounce using his 60 pound frame. considerable advantage and strength for the muscles ewing shaq got his way with ewing ewing tries to respond but is rejected by shaq shaq's numbers and the impact today would be even greater telling patrick ewing who is number one now you had almost quadruple the team , the most dominant man ever to conquer my lips had set out to let the world know that Dr. jay introduced shaq to a rookie of the black month he was the new king of the big man he was truly larger than life every day i think he would literally come to practice every day day thinking about how can i make everyone laugh the heir apparent of michael jordan's throne he attracted adoring fans wherever he went the shack looked like piper children who followed him to the arena and led them there he is the first rookie to start in the nba all-star game since michael jordan did so in 1985. he's 20. a steal for him he's one of four players to win the all star game mvp three times for him way to prepare it scotty pepper left him no You don't have to be a phi beta kappa to realize that Shack probably He will be the rookie of the year this year.

His uncanny strength and size presented a whole new set of problems for the NBA. They're going to replace the entire structure because of The Last Ring Shack Attack I played in the NBA for 16 years Shaquille O'Neal is the only guy that said man that's a big guy yeah that's a big guy basket backup ready just in case because the shackman was there and ready to confront. After knocking out several tires, they were forced to redesign the support apparatus at each arena to make the maintenance man shack-proof, although he wasn't too happy because he had to go out and do some work, but O'Neil uses that collar called potential, sometimes the caller tightens. and strangles even the most promising players well that happens with the hut I don't know how many there can be more than a handful of players in NBA history who have had a physical advantage against any opponent every night of their

career

jax One of those Guys, well, there's no doubt that Shaq has already joined the league's elite centers.

You may remember my first commercial was Kareem, Will Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Bill Walton, and I designed that commercial to keep me motivated. and you say you know what you're going to be compared to these guys, you have to play similar to them or better than these guys if you want to come out on top when these guys come in during the offseason. Shaq filmed blue chips i I mean, what did he ever see? Have you ever seen the movie Blue Chips? Did you ever see that no, he's a great movie and the 32nd Louisiana State Freshman of the Year in his second season?

Shaq became even more dominant because of the way Shaquille is competing with himself tonight all over America it's the night his new movie premieres it's tonight blue chips with nick nolte another bounce for shaquille o'neal he even gets I could say that Shaquille is in a transition year a year later, yes, he is a great rookie, yes, he has tremendous talent, but how? Great, he's going to be, how much game is he going to develop? Davis puts him on the ground, spins with his left hand, Neal didn't come to block him, I don't need another block, oh God, there will never be anyone like that. shaquille o'neal material green running down the right wing o'neill behind shaq matches his career high of 38 points tonight added 13 rebounds on seven blocks o'neal is first in the league in points, first in shooting percentage from the field and third in rebounds young shaq was not afraid he usually went in search of loose balls nick anderson's turn from the 18th does not fall loses the ball great save by shaquille o'neal and with the arrival of anthony hardaway the magic seemed ready for big things and a young man who is in the race and at this point a two man race for the rookie of the year with chris webber of golden state first for him a triple double 11 blocks which is a team record he has 17 rebounds and o 'neill with 18 points was during this When he released his debut album, the album went platinum, making Shaq the first professional athlete to achieve the feat of one million albums, the first professional athlete in history, is three or four off the arc with a big block of time and I'm like, boss, the break, you know what?

Come and boom, the perfect time to succeed in the intensely competitive NBA. You must be mentally focused on each game. When magic plays at home in the sand. Shaquille O'Neal has the vehicle to put you in the right frame of mind. This is his favorite. The Shack Foo If that wasn't enough, he then received the highest honor one can obtain in life, IMHO, his own Shack Food video game. In 1994, Dream Team Two embarked on a two-year mission for the olympic gold and i still think about dream team 2. i could beat dream team one and i don't care who liked it dream team 2 faces china tomorrow at 7 p.m.

ET on TNT Shaquille O'Neal Uh, he just turned 24 on March 6th. dennis scott, his friend gave him the superman they had tremendous shoes to fill after Michael Jordan's dream team, one had annihilated all the competition, fortunately for them, Shaq wore a size 23. Without a doubt, his margin of victory average was 33 points, capturing gold now, magic were perennial contenders, they are being led by o' Neill, you can see the points and the rebounds. Hardaway has become the total point when the ball was down, there was seemingly nothing NBA defenses could do to stop him, expectations were high, that's what they call Mark the Tootsie.

I work with Jack a little on this and he's almost mastered it, we need to work a little more. Shaq had the magic routine for a title run, but Shaq was the biggest guy to ever play with that much agility that year. michael jordan had returned after being retired for two years, if there was ever a time to eliminate mike, this was it, michael stood up, take it, mike mj was his usual spectacular care, three against one michael jordan since the blocks, but the bulls could. Do little to stop the shack attack here, both mj and scotty made business decisions, the series was really one sided, but I can't not show you these crazy moments from mj, michael jordan, check out his 24 points, 13 rebounds,four assists, two blocks and one steal. and leading orlando to victory over michael jordan in the chicago bull oh my god shaquille o'neal what an athlete who makes shaq the only player to lead his team past michael jordan in the playoffs since jordan won his first final in 1991 united center in chicago and beat the chicago bulls 108 to 102. after we beat the bulls i left it, take the stand off the good microphone the 1995 nba finals, we didn't play in houston before, i think that were one-on-one finals, the Rockets of Of course, lead the best-of-seven 3-zip for the young Orlando Magic once the favorites in this series, the realistic goal has now been reduced to winning a game, so we are swept in their second consecutive NBA championship.

They swept the Orlando Magic, that was my fault. We lost Shaq put up the typical massive numbers of him but it wasn't enough Orlando was swept by the rockets three of these four games were very close until the fourth quarter what was the difference why Houston was able to pull away and win those close games? They shot the ball well, they played very well but I want to congratulate our porn team for not giving up orlando magic versus chicago bulls we had beaten them the year before we went to the final in that sweep he returned michael jordan returned stronger than ever the bulls have swept the magic jordan finishes with 45 points the bulls do it 106 to 101 while the orlando magic have been swept from the playoffs for the third great season swift again michael with my fraternity brother puts his hand on my shoulder and says before succeeding first you must learn to fail shaquille left the court for the last time as a member of orlando magic i'm kazam i'm so happy for you where do you think you're going?

I'm your genius after a bidding war shaq opted to sign with the lakers orlando wants them the lakers won the tampa tribune reports shaq turned down a seven-year contract worth $119 million from magic we got a call from jerry west and my agent 2af jerome and I leave the club jerry west says I have what you want at that time they asked me for 150 I knew I wasn't going to get 150 but Jerry got me 120. Now we are filming this show in June but it will air in July to July , you may be a member of a new team.

Have you heard this rumor? He called me into the room and put the paper on top and before Cassandra stopped me, he said: Let me tell you something. I just acquired this boy from Charlotte. You and him will get about three or four championships. We believe it is going to take us to that incredible level that this franchise has enjoyed in Los Angeles the move paired him with 18-year-old rookie Kobe Bryant the Lakers also have the feeling of coming out of high school Kobe Bryant was acquired from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Vlade splits, everyone remembers that exchange, so the crowd is 10,300 people waiting to see it waiting to see the new edition of the Lakers and there are a lot of new faces.

The most dominant player I have ever seen. This guy was a force like me. I've never seen Slammer, oh baby, looking up and wondering what hit him, Shaquille O'Neal, doom wants him over the line and timeout, Shaq and the Lakers became the most talked about team in the league for the last shot. You're playing to win, so you got the last possession, that's what you want. Utah's 15-game winning streak down the line fades, so on the biggest stage, Shaq almost always shined at 97 and dropped the DC Film Steel. This is what comic book fans got. in the 90's with robinson duncan mourinho the promise and potential were no longer enough he is strong shaq needed to win it all as the lakers failed to win overrated crimes and shaq can't win they soon followed him so go to the uproar, shaq here, young kobe with him loses. oh corbin is going to come back copy charles brockley's second year sweat since the season started he's saying hey I'm leaving the lakers because they can't give the ball to shaq in the fourth quarter because he can't make free throws.

No matter how big his feet are, his free throws are bigger right now, infamously, Shaq wasn't as good from the free throw line or as Wesley Snipes would say, always trying to ice skate around here, they will be 16 free throws in the first half. For a player, he didn't shoot 30 times against Chicago or Dallas? I think 33, but he has a weakness. He has missed 23 of his last 37 free throws. Ben Axel divides the defenders. The cock. Oh Neil, the thinnest with two hands. Oh, my Kobe was getting thinner. one of the best in the game. I just saw his game.

He was flashy and flamboyant and was a force to be reckoned with. Jumper rebounded by O'Neal. He wants to handle the ball. Look at this perfect combination. Shaq and Kobe took the league. storm toby bryant oh what a dunk, well what a combo, huh, I'm starting to hear, uh, how can this guy be in the top 50? I can be the most dominant player when he gets swept every year in the playoffs, he is a terrible free throw shooter. doing too much he's not working out he's making movies he's making rap albums he's not dedicated they're never going to win so at that point in my life I got tired of failing this thunderous lock interrupted the camera feed momentarily chapman goes deep all the way in way he picks it up shaq blocks it he hit it so hard the lights went out here they wouldn't have helped you if you had to take a last second shot against shaq leaning towards mobley they were in a hurry four seconds without hope so now i have to take a step go ahead everyone is looking at me my family the city I'm looking at myself it's just time to win on your birthday shaq did a professional performance happy birthday shaq 28 years old just think that 28 years ago tonight I was sleeping in the crib talking about what Shaquille O'Neal would have his birthday today and I'll tell you, yes, he's averaging 33 points and 18 rebounds against the Clippers this year, six nine jack backs shoot in turns, that's his first birthday basket and it won't be his last score at will , he hits it, you don't see it very often, he scored 61 points against the Clippers, so I know he had big shoes to fill, I knew he had big expectations, he led the league in rebound dunks to prove that gives him 20 rebounds a 50 20 wow game is going to be more than that ovation beautiful 54 points career high for the MVP of the year happy birthday and the crowd is singing MVP for the MVP that reads the gentleman 61 points 24 of 35 field goals would crown his best season with an mvp congratulations 1999 2000 nba mvp shaquille o'neal 79 games mvp by far would have made history but some idiot in Atlanta wishes they could say his name because I would call him an idiot to his face.

He ruined the story. He would have been the first unanimous decision MVP for us and for me I didn't want to have that "I don't have one yet" title. I remember one. day reading it reading in the newspaper oh shaq is averaging 20 or 30 doing this and the great kareem abdul-jabbar said well he hasn't won that yet so it's great in the 2000 playoffs mvp shack was a dominant force, the sun dethroned san antonio won their first round series in four keys o'neal was as good as shaq in the regular season, the four-time nba champion saved his best work for the playoffs with an average of 31 points and almost 16 rebounds, possibly the most dominant big man of the season. long and kenny hardaway again having a fantastic year in phoenix now kobe bryant between two defenders watch him spin it's the portland trailblazers against the los angeles lakers only one game left only one game now game 7 next series is tied at three games a piece This afternoon it's up or down, but they've lost three times this year, once in the regular season and twice in this series to the pioneers on their home court, the biggest duo for me, Shaq and Kobe, they were cold stars and they needed each other.

To be as good as they were now, the first thing the Lakers have to realize is that they have 12 minutes left with only a 13-point game, Steve Smith is no longer hitting on the run and it's 15. I don't think so. Now you go on offense, Kobe takes a two-point lead, but I think now they both look back fondly and miss a little of what they had three times until Shaquille O'Neal makes a six-point lead with 41. -310 seconds left after a brilliant series against the blazers shaq and kobe made their first appearance together in the finals if you can't hold on you can't dislodge if you can't shove him in the back looking for shaq there's no way you're stopping him when he's around five ten feet away from the basket, which is too strong and too good, as he gives it to miller reggie with the one-handed run.

The game plan is crazy because rest in peace. Kobe, the game plan always started with Shaq because he. he was so dominant at the time shaquille o'neal showing early signs of dominating pacers in the paint so even though kobe was dominant it was all about hey how do we stop shaq? the double team coming from you might as well wave the white flag of surrender. He's decided to call a play like that Shaw Shack's redemption because Shaq was one of those guys that once he established a down position, there was literally nothing you could do there. there's your shooting redemption orlando when these guys on both ends of the floor average over 36 points per game and now he's moved to the front of the team Elijah won the most points in a four-game series now perkins on the lakers 3p there was no way that shot was going to see the rim.

He dominated the NBA Finals like no one other than Michael Jordan had done. The dynamic duo of Shaq and Kobe had captured their first title for the third time in NBA history. The same person won the NBA MVP. regular season all-star game mvp and finals mvp shaquille o'neal did it averaging 38 points and 16 rebounds for the finals being both relatively young stars their future was bright because i had you i could just relax on something do it yeah Look, that's what made me angry, that was it, that was because 10 hours a day I wish he was in the gym, he would have had 12 rings, they celebrated their championship and they're already talking about a dynasty the 2001 Lakers were starting. they were one of the best teams in league history they were one of only three teams to lose just one playoff game en route to winning the championship their regular season was just a formality the bass and pz afro kobe then we had shaq and kobe ​​i will say it again shaq and kobe score this is the guy although this is the one you really admire and respect as dominant on both ends of the court emphatically by shaquille o'neal back to back champions and vice versa MVP of back to back finals for Shaq it will end with a 15-1 streak, the best playoff winning percentage of all time.

It seemed like the only thing that could derail the Lakers was that part of the friction themselves was because they were both so similar. Yeah, in what way, well, we're both alpha males, I think I can remember the first time we had our first fight, and you looked and said, okay, this is crazy, I said that, yeah, I worked hard on practice, no, never. And let me tell you why the guy I play against is beneath me, so to try to prove that they are worthy of being an NBA player, they would touch me up, so that's my philosophy, I'm not going to let them touch me. up twice they're not going to hit me in practice and they're not going to hit me in the game beautiful george pass my shirt a lot of people say you should work harder potentially split the defense I asked him how do you know what you know that a third consecutive appearance in the finals put the Lakers in rare company?

The plan to get Shaq was like trying to post an escalation. That's how strong he was. It was a one-sided affair as the Lakers pushed the Nets. play boat ladies and gentlemen the brooms are out shaq and kobe put the finishing touches on their dynasty sweeping and joining michael jordan's bulls and the entertainment value and knowing that he was the face of the nba for a long time and not he was he refrains from winning his third most valuable player award none other than shaquille o'neal jack was so dominant in those playoffs that in the offseason the nba had to change the rules: he eliminated the illegal defense rules paving the way for that the teams would play in the zone That is the mark of the change of greatness in the game because we also discovered that in 2002 there were six men born in the USA named Shakobe Jacobi Shaquille O'Neal entered the staple center as the fifth Youngest player in NBA history to reach the scoring plateau. 20,000 points the lakers entered the season as the three-time reigning champions oh there's a good lobby they were surrounded by drama a monster night for shaquille o'neal kobe was entering his prime and no longer seemed to play second fiddle to shaq talked about Shaquille O'Neal, well you basically said he was fat and out of shape.

I knew I knew the fire I lit. I knew what I said and he knew what he said. Yeah, and I always told Shaq you know that even in practice. He used to tell me that you had to prepare, you liked listening probably not becausewhat do you think you couldn't maintain that same working relationship longer this just wasn't going to happen it's just not it's not in the car everything came to a head in the team's playoff series against the spurs the champions trail by nine remaining 12 minutes maybe into his season tim duncan continues to go crazy to end three championship streak while shaq and kobe can only look at a great team a great streak is not enough for a younger club tonight you could never rule out how difficult is winning year after year, it just took its toll, they didn't have enough in the end, the lakers did everything they could and brought carl malone and gary payton to the team, but carl malone injured his knee, he would miss most of the season and It was never really the same quarter in the falls.

They want to win that game at all costs and will do whatever it takes. You were such great personalities and maybe that could be the reason. It wasn't just that they beat the Lakers, but how they beat the Lakers. Were you surprised at how easy it was? Yeah, I didn't think they could dominate a team that wanted three rings to the point of completely demoralizing them and actually take their will to play, which is exactly what they did, how they took the Lakers, the 2004 Lakers were one of the most hyped but disappointing teams of all time, but the Detroit Pistons just upset the Los Angeles Lakers 187 to win the NBA. title and for the Lakers it will really be the end of a particular era, they have had the three championships, the dynasty was dead, what if Kobe and Shaq had made it work?

It is one of the most discussed hypotheses by fans, generally when something like a coach's firing happens I would know when I wake up and turn on ESPN like I always do so Phil Jackson Fire is like a coach when do you expect this soap opera to finish that it's happening between you, colby and phil writing a book and all this stuff kobe and shaq have gotten divorced what caused the divorce he did an interview the other day where he was talking about your work ethic in basketball, he said, he said that if the work ethic work would have been greater, it could have been even better, we could have won even more rings.

Was he saying that to me or was he saying it to all the statues that are happening from the staple center in the In the end, the Lakers had to choose between Kobe and Shaft, they opted to keep the younger Kobe and traded to O'Neal to Miami. The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat have agreed to a trade that will send Shaquille O'Neal to one of the biggest big men. of all time to sunny south florida shaq switched to heat kobe re-ups with the lakers the most talented and dominant player in the world and I want to welcome shaquille o'neal I was like that I was a I was so quiet I was an introvert like if I didn't talk a lot, I didn't let my personality show the shot kind of opened me up, you know what I'm saying, he gave me the nickname flash and you know what I'm saying, like he believed me in the flash character and like he started about me, so I started to be more like, you know, I started speaking for myself in Miami, Superman and Flash would be the ultimate hero with Shaq on board, the whole dynamic of the heat suddenly changed, it was championship or bust, although many believed it would be a failure lived in the state of florida left the city of miami one of the most anticipated games of the year occurred when shaq and the heat faced kobe in 1900 pairs of eyes simply riveted now both players are watching this like Hey , I want to excel, I want my team to win the game.

Here's Kobe and Shaq with a little elbow, but I never looked at it. Looking right over Kobe's head is good, so Jack was right there, probably with that knockdown to tie the game both men wanted to make a statement shaq was as aggressive as he had been all year whoa honey, well, that's a pretty good little early statement oh wait he feeds o'neal and then o'neill got lost he got him back. he puts it in I want to tell you that even some strong fouls Kobe goes to the rim and finds himself guess who it came down to a final shot from Kobe and Eddie Jones and Jumaine Jones to the incoming Shaq seemed to be reborn in Miami I knew it wasn't going to go in my name is the Heat's goal in their first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history and the pistons tonight are wearing their lucky red uniforms they have nine and oh Mike on the season with their reds standing on their In the way in which the team that had effectively ended Shaq's dynasty, you must return to your defensive transition.

Shaquille O'Neal Wade wave on O'Neill's reverse drive for the first time in history. The Miami Heat reached the NBA Finals. The key to their success has been a fantastic bond between their two star players, shaquille o'neal and dwyane wade, they are on different paths in their careers at the moment, yubi, but they have made beautiful music together, how special was it that one won, it was special because I knew it. I was getting older, I was starting to lose a little. An aging shack leaned into the flash when I got there with D Wade. You know, I was like you know what I'm older.

I'm tired. It's your team. Do you wait? d wade rose to the occasion averaging almost 35 points per game, he has that jump shot before shaq was dominant in the bursts shaq has always said i will be there when it counts and he was even making his free throws historic performance hooks him they win your first championship in franchise history congratulations miami 2006 nba champions i came to miami for this young man right here i knew he was a special player i knew it the first time i saw him i knew he was something special so i knew he was my work to come here and improve it wasn't the end of his career he would be traded several times as he got older breaking news the cleveland cavaliers phoenix suns agreed to a trade for shaquille o'neal sending shaq to cleveland finally ending up with boston celtics se won his way into the discussion about the best big men of all time in both miami and los angeles shaq's number was retired after 19 seasons he now analyzes the game on tnt either for his dominance on the court, his off-court charm or any number of memorable chat moments left an incredibly large impact on the game.

I was going to arrogantly tell everyone that I'm the most dominant big man of all time and I never want to hear anyone else's name. Shaquille O'Neal Shack attacks nobody. brings it home like a chill, nobody does it like that
