On June 24, 1992, the Orlando Magic selected Shaquille O'Neal with the first overall pick in the NBA draft. Shaq, who was reportedly 301 lbs. with 10% body fat and a 36-inch vertical leap when he made his NBA debut, went on to become one of the most dominant players in NBA history. His selection marked a significant moment in basketball history, remembered and celebrated 32 years later, today.
