While O’Neal was busy having a conversation with other players, a 5’9 tall Nate Robinson sneaked up on a massive 7’1 tall Shaquille O’Neal. As Nate was about to make the jump, he put his hand on Shaq’s shoulder and dunked the ball in the hoop.

Robinson hung in the air by holding the ring and almost kicked O’Neal’s face with the big man pushing him away. Eventually, the 15-time NBA champ ran behind Nate but seemed to have failed to catch him. The video ends with Shaq saying, “I’m gonna get you, Nate.”

It was quite hilarious to see Shaquille O’Neal getting the taste of his own medicine from Nate. The three-time NBA Slam Dunk contest champ was a part of the league from 2005 to 2015, before moving on to foreign leagues.

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.
