Ranking the Top 10 No. 1 NBA Draft Picks
6. Shaquille O’Neal (Orlando Magic, 1992)
via @Shaq
One of the greatest NBA personalities comes in at #6, Shaq the Big Diesel. Playing for 6 different teams across 19 years, the 7’1 325 pound big man was one of a kind. Drafted out of LSU, Shaq made an immediate impact on the league averaging 23 points, 13 rebound, and 3.5 blocks a game in his rookie year.
Once Shaq teamed up with Kobe in LA, expectations rose and won three consecutive championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002. He consistently put up huge numbers and was a sure bet for a double-double every game. He is #7 on the All-time NBA Scoring List and #14 on the All time rebounding list.
Shaq has collected 4 NBA championships and was crowned NBA MVP one time.
