The Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal clarified his motivation behind the infamous poster dunk on Chris Dudley of the New York Knicks, citing the lack of a double-team as disrespectful.

He noted his reaction of looking back during the play, indicating his surprise at the absence of defensive pressure: “I found it disrespectful that they didn’t double me… If you look, I look back first, and I’m like, Oh, really?”
