Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal dunks against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second quarter of an NBA basketball game in Oklahoma City, Monday, Dec. 29, 2008. O'Neal had 28 points and 12 rebounds as Phoenix won 110-102. O'Neal moved into ninth place on the NBA's career scoring list.

When his two-time MVP left the game with back spasms, Phoenix Suns coach Terry Porter ran his offense through another former MVP nearly twice the point guard's size: Shaquille O'Neal. O'Neal moved into ninth place on the NBA's career scoring list with 28 points and 12 rebounds, and the Suns overcame the loss of Steve Nash to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 110-102 on Monday night.
