The world of sports is only as engulfing as the tales it continues to tell. A remarkable photograph resurfaced, capturing a rare meeting between two larger-than-life personalities: Mick Foley, the legendary professional wrestler, and Shaquille O’Neal, the NBA icon. The picture that may very well be dipped in the juices of legacy, is bringing fans together from both the wrestling and basketball worlds.

Mick Foley fans will remember the unforgettable fall he took against the Undertaker in a Hell in the Cell matchup, back in 1998. Los Angeles Lakers legend, Shaq, also brought the same willingness to dominate on the court, known for his iconic dunks, many of which came against Chris Dudley and the New York Knicks.

The big man makes the 6’5 Foley look small and can be seen donning a t-shirt that says, “Shaqnosis.” The former wrestler expressed his appreciation to Shaq and the Inside the NBA group for their enjoyable post-game playoffs analysis.
