Shaquille O’Neal Bites His Lip After 60 Straight Seconds of Humiliation From NFL Veteran

Millions of people around the world remember Shaquille O’Neal for the carnage he brought into the NBA. Standing at an incredible 7-foot-1 inch height, he used his physicality to dominate the league.

Thanks to his physicality and basketball prowess, O’Neal has had one of the greatest careers in NBA history. However, there have been times when ‘The Big Aristotle’ has been humiliated in court.

For instance, Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets once blocked 3 of Shaq’s shots in the same game. Another player who dominated Shaq is Theo Ratliff. The former Detroit Pistons star had some of the most memorable matchups during his NBA career against O’Neal.

Talking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, former NFL star Spice Adams decided to bring up the name of Theo Ratliff. After absolutely bashing Shaquille O’Neal for quite some time, Spice awaited a response from the former Lakers star regarding Theo.

However, O’Neal was unusually quiet and he admitted his defeat. Shaq said, “I love Theo, I love his wife, I love his daughters, I have nothing to say. You’re absolutely correct Spice. You win.” Moreover, the 4 time NBA champion also revealed that he couldn’t do anything on the court when Theo was there because the latter was too good.

Without hesitation, Ratliff talked about Shaq. “Oh man, without a doubt it was big Shaq! He outweighed me by 100 pounds and when I had to guard that guy, I woke up a lot more sore the next day“, said Theo Ratliff.
