LSU Great Shaquille O'Neal

A video highlighting one of the most dominant college players ever, Shaquille O'Neal. The video was done by Row27 Studios in Minneapolis.

Shaquille O'Neal brought LSU to new heights during his three years with the Tigers and the 7-1 center became a national celebrity in the days of saturation coverage of basketball by the media. But he earned his celebrity status with great play and an intimidation factor that made him the envy of coaches throughout the country.
