On the latest episode of "The Ogs" podcast, Mike Miller regales listeners with a comical and memorable tale from his time in the NBA, involving the legendary Shaquille O’Neal.
Miller, while appearing on the podcast hosted by Udonis Haslem and himself, with Gilbert Arenas as a guest, shared a lighthearted story from his early NBA days that involved a memorable encounter with the formidable center, Shaquille O’Neal.
Detailing the event during the podcast, Miller reminisced about a game in which he tried to put up a strong defensive front against O'Neal, renowned for his dominant presence on the court.
“Shaquille O'Neal, the most dominant big man I've ever come across. We had a strategy for him, but even then, there was no stopping him,” Miller admitted, emphasizing the near-impossible task of guarding someone of Shaq's caliber.

The story Miller told highlighted the sheer power of O'Neal's physical presence. He described a moment when he fouled O'Neal with such intensity that it ended up hurting himself more than the giant.
“You just couldn't do anything about the Big Guy. He didn't even realize he'd been fouled! Often, he wouldn't even know. I remember hitting him so hard once that my arm ached, and I thought, ‘Damn, I'm the one who's sorry, Big Guy,’” Miller narrated.
The subsequent interaction was as entertaining as it was revealing of O'Neal's incredible strength. “He asked, ‘Did you hit me? ' and I replied, ‘Come on, man, just move on, you hurt my feelings,’” Miller recounted with a laugh.
This anecdote not only provided a humorous interlude on the podcast but also underscored O'Neal's legendary status in the NBA, where even the most forceful fouls could fail to faze him.
Miller's story offers a playful insight into the difficulties players encountered when facing Shaq, whose combination of size and skill made him one of the most intimidating opponents in the sport's history.
