Shaquille O'Neal might just be recognized as a ring-chaser now that he has jumped from the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. But before that, he was the one who players came to as veterans who wanted to win a title. His size allows him to be the most dominant force to ever play the game of basketball. At 7'1" and a little over 300 pounds, O'Neal has controlled the paint for nearly 15 years and won four NBA titles and an MVP in the process.

Career averages: 24 ppg, 11 rpg, 3 apg, and 2 bpg.
