Shaquille O’Neal has been in just about every NBA video game every created.

Starting in the 1994 classic NBA Jam, he has been a staple in gaming ever since.

While the real life Shaq may be known for being willing to compete in just about anything, it’s hard to believe that the virtual O’Neal would be given the opportunity to do the same.

Shaq, who is a massive UFC fan and even trains for MMA, has expressed interest in one day joining the circuit. In video game UFC Undisputed 2010, that is already the reality, as he is a playable character.

Check out his virtual match with Brock Lesnar.

NESN.com will showcase one Moment of Shaq every day until the Celtics open the season against the Heat on Oct. 26 at the TD Garden.

Sunday, Aug. 15: Shaq a monster in his early years.
