1995 NBA finals

Shaq: 28.0ppg, 59.5 FG%, 12.5rpg, 6apg, 2.5bpg, 2.5spg, 5.5topg, 4.5 fouls pg
Dream :32.8ppg, 48.3 FG%, 11.5rpg, 5.5apg, 2.0bpg, 2.0spg, 2.3topg, 4.5 fouls pg

Game one

Hakeem 31 Shaq 26

Game two

Hakeem 34 Shaq 33

Game Three

Hakeem 31 Shaq 28

Game Four

Hakeem 35 Shaq 25

And that's with Hakeem taking an absolute physical BEATING from a young Shaq in that series. You could see it when you watched and later Hakeem admitted how his chest was in pain that entire series.

He was trying to hurry up and get another chip because he knew Mike and 'nem was coming back FULL FORCE the next year.

Given that type of urgency, the brother performed well.

The thing with Hakeem is, he couldve been 6'0 tall and still been a great player. His footwork and skillset is GOAT.
