Scottie Pippen falls prey in Shaquille O’Neal’s reply to haters

Time and again, basketball buffs have doubted the talents of several NBA legends by imagining them in different eras. One who often made it to those talks was none other than Shaq. The big question was,?‘Could Shaq dominate in the big men era?’. Well, the 51-year-old has answered the question.?

Michael Jordan’s former teammate arch-nemesis Scottie Pippen once made a mistake by playing Shaq one-on-one. In old footage from the USA team practice, the Big Diesel was seen humbling Pippen with every move he knew. Shaq even drained a few jump shots and a three-pointer!?

Pippen was considered one of the best defensive players in the NBA back in the 90s. He made it to the All-Defensive First Team eight consecutive times from 1992 to 1999. However, he couldn’t do much against a much bigger opponent in Shaq.?

To the fans who doubted Shaq, he added in the captions, “‘No way @shaq played in the era.’ yea right #MDE coulda played in any era“. Well, hope that has answered the haters. Nevertheless, Shaq using footage with Pippen is interesting as the 7’1 star had some choice words for Scottie a couple of years back.
