7 Ft Shaquille O?Neal, Dunked Over Only Twice in His Career, Relived How Michael Jordan Outdid Him: ?He Caught Me Late?

When you are the most dominant player your sport has ever seen, you will seldom be outdone. Shaquille O’Neal, the Los Angeles Lakers legend, dominated every player in front of him. He always used his physicality to his advantage and bullied other players. On the defensive end too, he would block shots with ease due to his height advantage and stopped players from reaching the basket.

Shaquille was especially famous for his dunks. Many of his signature dunks involved him receiving the basket in the low post area and then maneuvering himself towards the basket. Once he gained momentum, nothing was stopping Shaq. In a crazy fun fact, Shaq had more broken backboards due to dunking than he hit three-pointers in his NBA career.

Led by Shaq, they were a young and upcoming team. On their way to the franchise’s first NBA Finals in 1995, they defeated the Bulls. Jordan had just come out of his retirement and hence couldn’t affect the proceedings much.

But come next time Jordan was prepared. In the 1995-96 regular season, the Bulls won, then record 72 regular-season games. They would sweep Orlando in four games en route to winning their fourth NBA title. Sometimes revenge is best served cold.
