The Dunk - Shaq got the ball in low-post as Dudley tried to guard him. O'Neal put his shoulder into Dudley's chest, jumped and dunked the ball all over Dudley. Unfortunately for Dudley, he didn't fall down because if he did, that would have been the end of the whole sequence. But he didn't fall down and after contesting the dunk against the most powerful man in NBA history, things went south. Literally.
Shaq pulled the ring and opened his legs and Dudley was stuck right in there. Dudley tried to hang on to Shaq to stay on his feet but Shaq just shoved Dudley to the ground.
Here's the best part - after being humiliated, Dudley thought it was okay to throw the ball back at Shaq! It will forever be one of the most petty moments in NBA history
