To the best of our memory, Shaquille O’ Neal came through the Triangle twice. He played in the US Olympic Trials before he was regarded as an inevitable great, and he played at Duke during the Christian Laettner years, when Laettner just went outside and shot over O’ Neal, who never really figured out how to guard a jump shooter.
He never figured out how to take one either, not that it mattered. At 7-1, around 300 lbs. and powerfully athletic, why would he have to? He just mowed over people in the paint and dared them to guard him.
