Happy Birthday Shaq

By Christian Grant-Fields

We here at the DIME Factory would like to give the Big Aristotle a huge birthday shout out. Shaquille O’Neal turns 37 today and it seems like yesterday he was 20 years old breaking backboards left and right.

While Shaqtus shows us glimpses of his younger days here and there, this video I found shows a young O’Neal playing one on one against Ahmad Rashad. Before you retire Shaq please try and give us one more of these!!

   ok, so he shoots his mouth off a little more than he should (perhaps). But, damn, definately one of the most dominant players to ever play the game.

   ShaqFu changed the game forever, literally, they had to redesign the rim/backboard just for Shaq
