During their time together on the Phoenix Suns, Shaquille O'Neal reportedly grew frustrated with Gordan Giricek for consistently skipping passes to him and taking shots himself. According to Grant Hill, the tension boiled over when Shaq threw Giricek to the ground and started choking him after a verbal exchange — telling teammates later he just wanted to show him “who the boss is.” Giricek wasn’t injured, but he soon left the Suns and returned to Europe. The story only came to light years later, adding another chapter to Shaq’s reputation as one of the most intimidating — and volatile — teammates in NBA history. #Shaq #NBAHistory #PhoenixSuns #NBAStories #BigDiesel #ShaquilleONeal #NBALegends
