NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, with his strength and power, was unstoppable both on the offense as well as defense. It is hard to imagine a player equalling the might of the Big Diesel. However, a certain 7ft tall player did come close. Lately, the four-time NBA champion could be seen sharing a video about the player who gave him trouble on the court.

The 7ft player who gave tough competition to the Big Diesel on the court was none other than the great Hakeem Olajuwon. The Houston Rockets legend made Shaq experience his magic when he and the Rockets swept off the Orlando Magic in the 1995 NBA Finals. As a result of this, over the years, the 3-time NBA Finals MVP has praised him a number of times including sharing a video of Michael Jordan praising Little Moses recently.

Steals, rebounds, blocked shots, scoring, and shooting percentage.” Moreover, added regarding him, “To have a big guy of his size to be in the top 10 in steals, now you can assume that he would be in blocks which to me shows versatility of what type of guy he really was.”
