Shaquille O’Neal
Year: 1994
Matchup: Orlando Magic vs. Indiana Pacers
Stat Line: 24 Points, 19 Rebounds, 5 Blocks
The thought of what the Orlando Magic could’ve been during the Shaq and Penny tenure is rather heart-wrenching for basketball purists. However, with the Penny’s arrival to the Magic back in 1993, he and Shaquille O’Neal helped elevate the lowly Magic to playoff contenders during O’Neal’s second season. In a three game matchup against the Indiana Pacers during the 1994 NBA Playoffs, Shaq would make an impressive debut tallying 24 points along with an astounding 19 rebounds.
Although the Magic would ultimately be swept, O’Neal would showcase his inaugural signature model, the Reebok Shaq Attaq.
