Shaquille O'Neal

Don’t let the calm demeanor fool you, Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O’Neal knows all too well his own power. After patiently tracking an opponent’s drive attempt out of a pick and roll, the towering center leaps for the rock, spikes it mercilessly off the backboard and gets right back into position in the paint. O’Neal, named co-MVP of the 2000 NBA All-Star Game, held nothing back in the contest, dropping 22 points, nine rebounds and three blocks in the affair.
