The NBA has seen a lot of towering athletes make their mark in the league. You had players like Yao Ming who stood at 7’6” and made it extremely difficult to score on him. While there have been several other tall players who made a lasting impact, there has never been another Shaquille O’Neal.
Big man Shaq is one of the greatest players to ever set foot in the NBA. The 7’1” center widely made his presence known on the court with his spectacular abilities to rack up the points for his team. A career average of 23.7 points might not exactly tell you how dominant he was when the Los Angeles Lakers won the historic three-peat from 2000-2002.

We have seen many friendly feuds between Shaq and Chuck in the past, and this one can be added to the collection as well. Shaq gave a powerful response to Chuck for leaving him out of his Top 10 list. Well, we are not sure if it is a response or a threat. You can decide for yourself. But one thing which is certain is that Chuck seriously offended Shaq by snubbing him off the list. Here is what Shaq said:
“Chuck, you know what? I miss you and all, but I ain’t gonna argue with you,” he said. “You’ve got two options: When you get back here, you face this [raising his first], or you take all your clothes off and you jump in that damn lake, river, ocean, whatever it is, and you hold your breath for 30 minutes. When I see you, I’m putting these hands on you! I’m not in your top 10? You kidding me?”
