A 7-ft Shaquille O’Neal made a massive impact on the NBA league as soon as he managed to get in. He was a tremendous playmaker and had sheer dominance over his opponents. In 1996, the then-general Manager of the LA Lakers, Jerry West, was searching for the NBA title, and Shaq could have easily guided the team to a title win. Hence, the Lakers signed him to a deal.

As soon as Shaq was added to the roster, the LA Lakers’ fortune changed. Shaq helped the Lakers win three straight titles with the young Kobe Bryant as his support. The Los Angeles Lakers became a team to watch out for in the coming era, just after Michael Jordan’s retirement for the second time. The one-time Finals MVP left behind a legacy that is worth chasing. He is the only player to be rated a 100 OVR in the history of the NBA virtual game.
