One of the most dominant NBA centers of all time -- Shaquille O'Neal -- attempted just 22 three-pointers in his 19-season career and made just one of them.

NBA has changed a lot since those days as the league has gone through a three-point revolution with big men making the shots from deep.

Would Shaq have a different approach and shoot threes in today's NBA?

"I would never shoot a three-pointer," he responded to a question during the Cosmote TV interview. "All those tall shooters, they weren't even in the game because against me, they would have had two fouls on a good night, and they wouldn't have shot. I would take the ball and make easy baskets."

O'Neal had eight seasons where he never even attempted a three-pointer. In the 1994-95 season, he attempted a career-high 5 three-point shots.

Shaq is a Hall of Famer and a four-time NBA champion.
