What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Shaquille O'Neal happens.

Averaging 23.4 points, 3.5 blocks and 13.9 rebounds as a rookie for the Orlando Magic, there was no doubt that the Big Aristotle was destined to be a superstar but it was as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers that the Shaqtus become a true legend of the game. In a tenure which lasted for 8 years, he averaged 27.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks.

And when the stage was the biggest, he shone the brightest. Going to the NBA Finals a total of six times, he averaged 28.8 points and 13.1 rebounds. Those numbers skyrocketed to 33.6 points and 13.9 rebounds as a part of the gold and purple.

His Lakers were the last team to three-peat in the NBA. And he was a big reason for them. He might have been the reason for them. His averages for them? Look below:

2000 NBA Finals: 38.0 points and 16.7 rebounds
