Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant are considered one of the most iconic duos in NBA history, having won three NBA Championships together.

However, Shaq believes that a combination of himself and Michael Jordan would have been an unstoppable force, and has shared "proof" of the same.

Shaq has been paired with some great players throughout his career, including Penny Hardaway, Dwayne Wade, Steve Nash, and Paul Pierce, but none compare to the potential of him and MJ.

The former MVP recently shared a clip from the 1996 NBA All-Star Game on his Instagram story, showcasing MJ's passing skills and Shaq's ability to finish with a powerful one-handed jam.

The idea of Shaq and MJ playing together is a dream for fans and would have given the league nightmares, as the combination of their skills and dominance on the court would have been unmatched.

Both Shaq and MJ are considered two of the greatest players of all time, with Shaq dominating in the paint and MJ dominating on the perimeter.

It's hard to imagine a duo more dominant than Shaq and Kobe, but the potential of Shaq and MJ playing together is intriguing, to say the least.

The clip shared by Shaq on his Instagram story is a reminder of the sheer talent and dominance both players possessed during their prime.

While it's impossible to know how successful a Shaq and MJ duo would have been, one thing is certain – it would have been a sight to behold and would have left fans and opponents in awe.
