Def one of the best dunks of all time

Shaq is actually 6'11. He admitted a couple years ago on his podcast that they used to fib about his height to make it look better. Diallo also pushed off of him, and Shaq ducked his head down a bit.

Still an impressive dunk, but its not quite as crazy as people are making it.

I'd agree if it wasn't for the fact that he hung in the rim. That made it awesome. It's one thing to do it when you just have to concentrate on making the dunk but dunking over a giant and putting your arm in the rim is pretty incredible.

This x 100000

And, Shaq has stated both that he is 6'11 and above 7ft. before. At the combine - he was measured just above 7ft without shoes. Regardless, couple of inches in Shaq's height aren't that big of a deal. He cleared Shaq by couple of inches anyway and put his elbow in the rim. That's pretty damn impressive.
