Shaquille O’Neal threw down some of the most powerful and memorable dunks in NBA history during his Hall of Fame career, and now he’s getting back into the dunk business. Shaq has created a professional dunk league called, fittingly, Dunkman, which will kick off its first season this summer.
“Since the professional athletes don’t take pride in the dunk contest anymore the best dunkers in world are not [not in the NBA],” Shaq told Sports Illustrated on Monday. “The landscape has changed, as a basketball fan the best dunkers were always some of the best players in the world but not anymore. We want to crown the best dunkers. The goal of the league is to leave no doubt who the greatest dunker in the world is.”
