The Young Giant of the Magic

Shaquille O'Neal was the first overall pick of the 1992 NBA draft, chosen by the Orlando Magic out of LSU. He won Rookie of the Year in 1993, overpowering defenders with size and speed. Some of his dunks brought down entire baskets, prompting arenas to reinforce their hoops.

In 1994-95, Shaq led the league in scoring, and with dazzling guard Penny Hardaway he led Orlando to the 1995 NBA Finals. The young Magic were swept by the Houston Rockets and Hakeem Olajuwon, but they had become one of the league's most exciting teams.

Off the court, Shaq released the 1993 rap album Shaq Diesel and starred in the 1994 film Blue Chips. In 1996 he left Orlando as a free agent to join the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won three straight titles with Kobe Bryant.
