Basketball legends Dino Rađa and Shaquille O'Neal reunite in Croatia after 30 years

Basketball icons Dino Rađa and Shaquille O'Neal, once rivals on the NBA court, shared an emotional reunion in Croatia after nearly three decades. Rađa, a Croatian legend, posted a photo of the encounter on social media, expressing his delight.

"Man Shaquille O'Neal sees you after 29 years and says: 'What's up, brother.' Nice feeling," Rađa wrote on Instagram alongside the picture with the American basketball superstar. The meeting took place in Umag, Croatia, and was also captured with Rađa's sons, Roko and Niko.

Their professional paths last crossed in December 1996, but their rivalry began three years earlier. In November 1993, Rađa, then with the Boston Celtics in his rookie NBA season, faced O'Neal's Orlando Magic. Although the Celtics won that game, it marked the start of 16 matchups where O'Neal held an advantage with ten wins to Rađa's six.

The article also briefly touches on Rađa's personal life, mentioning his marriage to Viktorija Rađa since 2001 and their sons Roko and Niko, as well as his eldest son Duje from a previous marriage.
