That season was also the year he spoke his iconic quote after an on-court altercation with the controversial Dennis Rodman “it’s one thing to talk tough and one thing to be tough”. The following season saw Shaq leading the league with a 58.4 field goal percentage, which he would do so for another 5 consecutive seasons!
