😳🔥 “Welcome to the NBA” moments hit different. 👀 

Shaq tells the story of his first time going up against Michael Jordan, and it was an instant lesson on what the league is really about 👀🏀.

The confidence, the intensity, and the message were loud and clear. If you know, you know 💯.

Who do you think had the bigger presence in that matchup?
