Shaquille O'Neal might be one of the most dominant players in the modern NBA

Shaquille O'Neal might be one of the most dominant players in the modern NBA. Standing at 7-1, weighing at over 300 pounds, nobody could stop Shaq in his prime, including rims.

He started his career in Orlando and led the Magic to the franchise's first ever NBA Finals in 1995. After failing to return to the finals a year later, Shaq joined the Los Angeles Lakers and the recently drafted high school senior, Kobe Bryant.

After a rocky first few years, the two managed to put differences aside and helped the Lakers win three straight titles.

However, after failing to win another one the next two years, their relationship had run aground. Shaq demanded a trade and the Lakers sent him East to Miami.

With another new and young guard in Dwyane Wade, Diesel grabbed his fourth and final ring in 2006.

During his 19-year career, O'Neal led the league in field goal percentage ten times, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's 36-year-long record. He also won the MVP award in 2000.
