Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal (born March 6, 1972), nicknamed "Shaq", is an American professional basketball player for the NBA's Boston Celtics. Standing 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall and weighing 325 pounds (147 kg), he is one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA. Throughout his 18-year career, O'Neal has used his size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds. After the retirement of Lindsey Hunter on March 5, 2010, O'Neal became the oldest active player in the NBA.
Following a standout career at Louisiana State University, O'Neal was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He quickly became one of the top centers in the league, winning Rookie of the year in 1992--93 and later leading his team to the 1995 NBA Finals. After four years with the Magic, O'Neal signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers. He won three consecutive championships, playing alongside Kobe Bryant, in 2000, 2001, and 2002. O'Neal's relationship with Bryant eventually declined into a feud, leading to O'Neal's trade to the Miami Heat in 2004. He won his fourth NBA championship in 2006, but was traded midway through the season a year and a half later to the Phoenix Suns. After a season-and-a-half with the Suns, O'Neal was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he played alongside LeBron James in the 2009--10 season.
O'Neal's individual accolades include the 1999--00 MVP award, the 1992--93 NBA Rookie of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, three All-Star Game MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards, two scoring titles, 14 All-NBA team selections, and three NBA All-Defensive Team selections. He is one of only three players to win NBA MVP, All-Star game MVP and Finals MVP awards in the same year (2000); the other players are Willis Reed in 1970 and Michael Jordan in 1996 and 1998. He ranks 5th all-time in points scored, 6th in field goals, 12th in rebounds, and 7th in blocks.

Shaq knows nobody could stop him!

[TheLaza91]

I hope when Shaq retires, he gets a great send off!

[Alokinveili]

What makes u an NBA legend...all you need to do is be tall, know how to play the game, jump, be strong...damn all you need is a high IQ and it`ll be the same for astronaut....I mean come one!!! I wish it was the 90s when NBA was strong...now its just a mask!

[rattlehead54321]

Jordan sorts his ass out in 96'

Wtf 3:55

shaq doesnt have any weaknesses, hes the weaknesses in every NBA player

[TheHanibalBarka]

@mftds13 thats right i forgot about him

[mftds13]

@TheHanibalBarka So was Laettner.

[TheHanibalBarka]

@mftds13 because he was a rookie at time the dream team was formed

[AxonMoses]

@mftds13

My guess is they thought they didnt have enough room in the middle. They already had Robinson and Ewing and a guy that was even bigger might have been too much.

[mftds13]

I'll never understand why the Dream Team passed on Shaq. They were dominant without him, but can you imagine how dominant they would have been with a prime Shaq? Just the names alone would have been beyond legendary. Jordan, Bird, Magic, Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Pippen, David Robinson, Clyde Drexler and a young Shaquille O'Neal? EPIC!
