Shaquille O’Neal, former NBA star and Hall of Famer, used Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman as an example to send a message to his then-Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant in his book Shaq Talks Back. He explained that in order for two superstars to coexist, one has to bow down and accept their role on the team.
