Do you remember the last team to beat a Michael Jordan-led Bulls team in the NBA Playoffs? If not, don't feel bad. In Grantland's oral history of the Magic teams led by Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway back in the 1990s, Shaq revealed that his own son didn't know that he led Orlando to a 4-2 series win over MJ and the Bulls during the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals. He had to go back and show him recently.
Shaq remembers it well because, during that series, he threw down one of the most memorable dunks of his Magic career. It featured him jumping in between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen for a slam that looked like this:
Earlier today, Shaq took to Facebook to remind the world—and MJ!—about the dunk. He put up a #flashbackfridays post that included a photo of him throwing it down over the G.O.A.T.:
Was this an offensive foul? Meh. Maybe. Or definitely, depending on who you ask. But whatever the case, it's a nice reminder that Shaq was pretty much unstoppable back in the 1990s. Just ask MJ.
