Goran Dragic (Shaquille O'Neal and Giannis Antetokounmpo)

The Suns had the chance to trade for Goran Dragic in the 2008 NBA Draft. Despite being a second-round pick, he was given a chance to shine with the veterans of the team. Dragic played with four-time NBA champion, Shaquille O'Neal. It was the last All-Star season for the legendary big man but he was still a significant contributor in Phoenix.

O'Neal would end up getting traded the following season to the Cavs, while Dragic would stay for a few seasons. The Slovenian guard bounced around the league and had the chance to play with some of the best players. The Dragon even joined the Miami Heat, O'Neal's former team and earned his lone All-Star selection during the 2017-18 season.

In his final season in the league, Dragic joined the Milwaukee Bucks and teamed up with Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak is often compared to O'Neal for his dominance on the floor. Both players attack the rim without regard for the defense and have comparable free-throw efficiencies.

Only a few players could say that they had a chance to play with both dominant big men and Dragic is one of them.
