Shaq controlled his temper and didn't get up to beat Kobe. Instead, he deliberately responded loudly: "Some people always fancy themselves the team leader. One moment they demand teammates to dominate the paint, the next moment they demand teammates to dominate on defense. One moment they want teammates to grab rebounds, the next they want them to have high shooting percentages. So let me ask, once your teammates have dominated everything, what's left for you as the leader to do? Complain with your hands open?"

O'Neal really didn't expect that the longer you stay outside, the more you feel Roger's greatness.
