Y! Shaq to Hakeem in 1995: 'I want you one on one'

One of my prized possessions.

 

As if the cup wasn't proof enough...

Man this thread is epic. I totally had a flashback to the 90's... Oh those were the days

 

Almost like the time when a select few thought Mad Max "destroyed" Jordan.

 

This is the best comment on Yahoo!:

 

What could have Shaq done if they played 1 on 1?....Backed Hakeem down from the Half court line, everyplay?.....If not, Hakeem would have been ripping him all day!!......400 steals.......Shaq, would have literally had to play with his back to the basket as soon as he touched the ball....Hakeem was ripping shooting guards....There is no way on earth Shaq would be able to face up, and take Hakeem off the dribble....

 

TWO NBA BIG MEN, ONE CUP.

I remember this quite well, think there was an undercard as well of over players as well.

A real shame it never happened, the more I think about I think this would have been the kind of thing that really expanded Dream's national exposure and kept him from being so overlooked by those who aren't Rockets fans.
