Orlando Magic Center Shaquille O’Neal’s budding career took a big leap in the 1994-95 season when the big man led the league in scoring with 29.3 points per game. Shaq and Penny Hardaway, acting as a dynamic duo, led the Magic into the playoffs and all the way to the team’s first NBA Finals appearance against the defending champion Houston Rockets. The duo’s stellar play would prove to not be enough as Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, and the Rockets swept the Magic four games to none.
