The viral trend of "100 men versus a gorilla" has sparked widespread debate, splitting people into two groups—those who believe 100 men could overpower a gorilla, and those who insist even that many wouldn't stand a chance.

One NBA legend, however, revealed that he came surprisingly close to such an encounter. One of the greatest players of all time, Shaquille O'Neal, recently shared a story about how a gorilla once tried to fight him at a Miami zoo.

"Every zoo I went to, the gorilla tried to fight me," Shaq said on the Big Podcast. "It started at the zoo in Miami."

"The staff would always take me in the back and be like, 'Don’t look at the gorilla.' But I looked at one gorilla," Shaq remembered. "He came up to the wall and locked eyes with me. He was looking at me, I was looking at him, and I was like, 'What the f*ck you looking at?' And then he just went crazy."

"He gave me this look like, 'Hey man, what are you doing out there while I’m stuck in here?' That was the first look. Then he gave me another look like, 'Hey man, where’s your fur at?' Like he was really trying to fight me," NBA legend recalled his encounters with gorillas
