    Luckily, the pair soon discovered common ground.

    Thankfully the two titans buried the hatchet over a cheaply made taco from a greedy corporation nationally in a very disturbing commercial of peewee hats and bicycle! XD

    Looking back at these two great bigs, one has to wonder... how many rings would Hakeem have had if he played with someone like Wade or Kobe in his prime. By the time we got Drexler, he was still really good, but he definitely lost some athleticism.

    That was real, I remember seeing commercials for it, think injuries canceled the event

    If this is real, then it rocks.

    Can you imagine Hakeem covered in championship champagne, wearing his NBA champs hat, and him reading this in the locker room? lol

    Shaq was only 22 and immature, and it looks like they made peace over taco bell food.

    Still funny anyway.

    this pissed me off back then....i actually wanted to see it happen and then to see the way it played out..lame. i dont remember if taco bell was behind it all along or came in later to profit from it, but it still was disappointing.

    Dream would have destroyed Shaq one-on-one.

    They were also supposed to have a few other matchups on the card.

    I remember at the very least they were going to have a Spud Webb and I think Mugsy Bogues matchup for the "lightweight."

    Yep. Without any mid-range game whatsoever, Shaq didn't stand a chance.
