The other amazing Burrell athletic moment was his block of Shaquille O'Neil in the first round of the NCAAs in '91 when we were a 12 or 13 seed easily handling an LSU team that had not only Shaq but the great small shooting guard, Chris (I think) Jackson who changed names in the NBA. Burrell was guarding someone in the corner. Shaq sealed off Rod Sellers high in the post, caught a lob with Sellers on his hip mid-post and went up to dunk. Burrell came flying in from the corner, while still racing horizontally leaped vertically and knocked Shaq's dunk attempt about 40 feet into the crowd. His vertical momentum carried him well past the lane into the opposite corner. When Shaq landed, he looked around to try to figure out what happened and initially couldn't locate anyone who was there to block his shot. It took him a few seconds to figure it out.
