Shaquille ‘Shaq’ O’Neal is hands down, one of the greatest NBA players. His statistics, awards, and fan following, all speak for it. On the other hand, Curtis Granderson, played in the MLB for 15 years, won the Silver Slugger Award in 2011 and appeared on three All-Star teams. But, how are the two related?

In a blend of two sports, former players from the MLB and the NBA came together under one roof on the NBA on TNT Game Show. The MLB crew included MLB legends like Pedro Martinez, Curtis Grandson, and Jimmy Rollins, while the NBA crew consisted of Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley.

How did Curtis Granderson humiliate the great Shaquille ‘Shaq’ O’Neal?

During the show, the two separate crews started to play a 3v3 basketball game against each other. While it would be natural for one to assume that the NBA legends would have the stronger hand, the NBA representatives were in for a shock.

The NBA guys assumed that they would be able to easily defend themselves by man-marking and blocking. Pedro started dribbling and passed to Curtis, who was marked by Shaq. Shaq tried to block the MLB All-Star, but it all went in vain as the outfielder bucketed after laying up around him.
