The greats lay down a path and generations that come after follow it. This is particularly important in the world of sports. Widely regarded as the most dominant player of all time, Shaquille O’Neal is one such athlete. The 4x NBA champion has a legacy as impactful as his dunks. The Big Man has been an exceptional athlete and a great businessman post his retirement. So it becomes obvious that the traits of the great man will be seen in the new generation.

Recently a 15-year-old basketball player showed a Shaq-like trait in his game. After that, the generation that has grown up admiring Shaq was left dumbfounded over the uncanny similarities between the two.

Shaq was, in his time, the most dominant person on the court. His ability to get past any opponent made him a once-in-a-generation talent. Apart from just pure skills, his dominance had a lot to do with the way he was built. Standing at 7’1, Shaq towered above most people. In a league where one’s athleticism is extremely important, Shaq had it coupled with his giant-like height. What came with it as a result was shattered backboards and scared opposition to get in his way. The Big Man was so impressive that there are compilation videos of him breaking backboards.

Although this is not something an athlete does intentionally, whenever fans get to see it happen, it makes for a memorable moment. Recently, a 15-year-old hooper did something similar to that. Cameron Boozer is the son of Carlos Boozer, an NBA veteran, and a 2x NBA All-Star. Cameron, at just the age of 15 had made quite a name for himself. He has won several awards and is one of the best performers for his team. Additionally, his recent Shaq-like action on the court has brought him fame as people are amazed by his skills. Another reason why the clip is being talked about so much is its resemblance to what Shaq used to do.

Cameron plays for the Christopher Columbus High School and he averaged 21.1 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in his sophomore year. He was also awarded the Gatorade National Player of the Year.
