Shaq’s only three-pointer came on February 6th, 1996, when he used to play for the Magic. It was Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks at the Orlando Arena. During the first quarter, the Magic were leading 37-125 with just 2 seconds on the clock. Shaq got the ball and shot towards the basket with one hand. The shot went in and Shaq managed the first and last three-pointer of his career. Nevertheless, Shaq has had too much otherwise to redeem himself.
