Nate managed to complete Shaq’s challenge with a slight twist, leaving the fans in awe. O’Neal is often seen pulling off pranks on others. However, on this occasion, the 2000 NBA MVP became a victim of Nate’s sneaky skills.

Shaq was quite unstoppable during his time in the league. It was nearly impossible to make a jump and get the ball through the hoop for opponents when Shaq stood in between. His massive persona always made the opponents think twice before making any risky moves. Shaq’s impenetrable defense earned him the NBA All-Defensive second-team award on three occasions. Hence, Nate would have definitely found it hard to climb over Shaq if Big Diesel knew he was coming.
