Allen Iverson has high praise for one of the NBA's greatest centers, who's entering the Basketball Hall of Fame with him Friday.

"I've never seen a person dominate the game like Shaquille O'Neal," he raved to ESPN's J.A. Adande.

Thanks to their overlapping careers, Iverson witnessed O'Neal win four rings, become league MVP, and make 15 All-Star appearances.

AI also shared his first impression of Shaq, saying the big man was "scary." That's not shocking, considering the O'Neal stands 7-foot-1 and well over 300 pounds. Then there's the relatively tiny Iverson at 6-feet, 165 pounds.

Still, The Answer shared the mentality of his much larger opponents.

"I wanted them to know that I'm coming," he said.
