Looking Back At Shaquille O'Neal and Dennis Rodman's Most Heated Face-off's









Both Shaquille O'Neal and Dennis Rodman were known for different reasons in the NBA. 

While Shaq's size and skills made him the most dominant and scariest player in the league, Rodman was known for his unique dressing sense and behaviour.

However, the two have butted heads on numerous occasions. Looks like opposites don't attract in this case.
