Big men who are responsible for manning the paint are going to get dunked on. Science has proven this. Still, there's something so satisfying (to me anyway) about watching Shaquille "I'm the MDE" O'Neal get posterized. Especially after all the poor schmucks he's dunked into the ground over the years.
Here's a video of Alonzo Mourning pounding one down over his one-time nemesis. Not all that earth-shattering. After all, 'Zo was supposed to be able to do that.
Ditto for this one, where MJ walks by Shaq a couple times before flushing on him.
Now we officially enter the twilight zone, as Shaq eats a Spauldingburger served up fresh by Derrick Coleman of all people. Coleman then finger-wags the Diesal, Mutumbo-style.
Ruben Patterson tip-dunks over the big fella. Yup. Ruben Patterson.
Fast foward to the end of this video to watch Shaq get dunked on by the immortal Lawrence "Thunder" Funderburke.
Now watch Shaq's matador defense as he gets dunked on by...Jason Terry. Before watching this clip, I didn't even know Terry could dunk.
During his rookie year, Andrew Bynum made Shaq look like a statue with this dunk.
And here's the ultimate indignity...although it doesn't really qualify as a posterization because Shaq flopped his way out of the poster. Still, it's just sad enough to be included.

Seeing these clips brought a smile to my face.
and gotta co-sign on Hellshocked, though Aristotles big ass might be a factor in the whole dunking thing
You were kidding, right?
Not counting injuries, you should assume EVERY guard in the league can dunk. Easily too.
I remember Randy Brown dunking on Shaq in the middle of the lane off two feet.
For one, I can't wait for him to post the epilogue just to stop all the complaining about livin' large (although I really enjoyed reading it).
Walker was sent from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of a 2008 NBA draft night trade. The Grizzlies and Walker agreed to a buyout on December 18, 2008.
That should be fun. Some team is about to see their 3PT attempts spike and their 3PT percentage plummet.
Now post the goddam last livin' large already !
WV: Throwel (v): To throw in the towel. "Memphis would be wise to prepare to throwel the season."
That Jordan dunk is a great example - Shaq is covering for Jordan's man, then he rotates back to the key in time to see Jordan cross his man and blow past him. Shaq wasn't even close enough to contest the shot, but now he's supposedly "posterised"? That's as weak a claim as the Magic's attempt at team defence.
I would love to see a comic strip thingy about ron ron's promotional shindig in San Diego. The stories up on ESPN. Sounds great, he doesn't even know where san diego is.
