It is O'Neal's first chance to excel in a high-profile event against a team with an inside presence that matches his own since he was pounded by Hakeem Olajuwon in the 1995 Finals. To win, the Lakers can't rely on their center's size and strength -- his ability to turn above-average centers like Sabonis and Divac into hilarious caricatures. O'Neal must power through two of the top big men in the NBA, but he must do so wisely. He must keep his teammates involved and play with equal parts brains and brawn." ------------------
