Shaquille O'Neal, famously known as 'Shaq', was drafted by the Orlando Magic in 1992. He quickly earned the reputation of being one of the best centers in the league. After playing four years with the Magic, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1997 where he played the some of the best basketball of his career.

Paired alongside a young Kobe Bryant, the duo went onto win three consecutive championships from 2000-2002, and form one of the best teams to have ever been assembled in NBA History. It was during this time, that O'Neal established himself as an overpowering low post presence and as one of the most unstoppable force this game has ever seen. He was named the Finals MVP in all of the three championships.

Amid tension between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat in 2004. Shaq formed the perfect complement for a young Dwyane Wade and helped the Heat win their first ever championship in 2006 while winning his fourth championship title in the process.

Shaquille O'Neal will go down in history books as one of the most dominant centers and the strongest players to ever have ever set foot on the hardwood floor in the history of this league.

A human highlight reel that could demolish backboards with the same ease as he could get past defenders obviously had to be immortalized for his talents. Therefore, for his contribution to both these franchises, the Los Angeles Lakers retired his 34 jersey while the Miami Heat hanged his 32 jersey in the rafters.
