Shaquille O’Neal’s Dunk On Chris Dudley Is The Most Disrespectful Dunk Of All Time

Shaquille O’Neal is considered the most dominant player of all time. The way Shaq used his enormous frame and coupled it with massive strength and great agility allowed him to become one of the most feared players in the league during the peak of his powers.

One of Shaq’s signature moves was his dunk. The dunk practically became O’Neal’s calling card, and he would use his physical gifts to throw the ball down on any and every opponent in front of him. Not only that, but he would also try to insult them doing it by putting them on a poster.

This is exactly what Shaq did to Chris Dudley. During a game against the New York Knicks. Dudley was guarding Shaq. Unfortunately for Dudley, Shaq quickly turned around and dunked the ball on him, throwing his legs in his face. After he got down, Shaq even shoved Dudley for good measure.

This is hands down the most disrespectful dunk in my opinion. pic.twitter.com/vhCkEpW43R

Dudley was obviously very insulted by the move and even tried throwing the ball at Shaq in retaliation after he got up.

One NBA fan on Twitter called it the most disrespectful dunk of all time. And it’s hard to disagree with them. And actually, most other fans on Instagram seem to be in agreement with their assessment.

Just nasty

Shaq dunked then proceeded to air hump him then pushes him away and walks away like he did nothing all in that order

Cant even do that with today’s nba weak rules

forget shaq. Dudleys ball throw was the real MVP!

He was trying to hold onto Shaw so he wouldn’t fall & Shaw pushed his eh

He was big-mad

My favorite player of all time!

He just got caught in a Shaq-Attack whirlwind spin cycle. #BarBQueChicken

I still find it funny how he throws a fit and tosses the ball

Oh most definitely

he was mad

he best part was Dudley threw the ball at Shaq right after and the announcer says “Dudley can’t hit a free throw but he can hit Shaq at half court

Punish these children in the paint – Shaq

Had a dentist guarding Shaq lmao

You would be suspended indefinitely in today’s game lol

The threat of Shaq putting you on a poster was there in any game. Perhaps one of the biggest things to aid Shaq in his pursuit to dunk over you was his confidence. Shaq believed he could do anything he wanted. So much so, that he even once said that he would dominate Wilt Chamberlain during his prime.

O’Neal also loves to antagonize people. He makes jokes at their expense, and his shove on Chris Dudley is a prime example. Shaq was a monster in his prime, and those unlucky enough to get posterized by him would become the subject of ridicule for years to come.
