It’s true and I used to tell people all the time, Kobe’s only issue with Shaq was that he was lazy. Shaq’s only year that he got in really good shape was the summer of 1999. That was the year they hired Phil Jackson and Phil put him on blast, telling him he wasn’t in shape. After that year, seeing how he didn’t have any competition at center, Shaq would say “I could get 20 and 10 rolling out of bed.” And that was it in a nutshell. Shaq settled because he was bigger than everyone while Kobe kept working on his game. Oh yeah, and the fact he kept calling Kobe his little brother, in a more negative connotation. Kobe tried to work with Shaq but it just got to the point that he couldn’t defer anymore. His game passed up Shaq but Shaq was too proud to admit it and say, Kobe, it’s your team. I got you. And that’s why they only won 3 together. The whole was glad when Shaq got traded, especially San Antonio. Now Laker fans can only dream of how many we could have won if they could have worked together. It would have been at least 2 more, if not 3. That’s how dominant they were on the court, together at their peak. Unstoppable.
watching this just reminds me that to be considered the GOAT, you have to get it done in the 4th quarter, in the last seconds, and you have to do it consistently. KOBE! KOBE! KOBE! and ain't no one playing today can meet that standard.
You know who else challenged Shaq to a fight? Scott Skiles. For you younger fans, if you're wondering who Scott Skiles is, well, exactly... but he also earned Shaq's respect.
You mean Scott Skiles the guy with the record for assists in a game! He wasnt very liked bc of some of his behavior on and off the court but the guy was talented!
Did you know k o l b e was friends with popovich of the Spurs, and he always liked Manu ginobili Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. So actually they were competitors up to we took over in 1999 and we still stayed competitors, but the Spurs won five championships and the Lakers had won their championships before that, so the Lakers pushed us to be winners and then later Kobe said we pushed him to be the best he could be, so there's a connection between the Spurs and the Lakers. Even though we were competitors at the end of everything we became good friends with Kobe and the Lakers. So competitors can become good friends and say that both helped each other. Wow and my congratulations to everything the Lakers did and my sympathy to kolbe and his family
Well said. Meanwhile Lamelo Ball (someone who has literally done what you just described) is getting all the preseason hype from the media but shot 1 of 10 last night 🤦🏼♂️
@@myfeelingsarehurt6655 I haven't been keeping up much with preseason but I looked him up. His name is Malachi Flynn and he is out of San Diego State. A college that has a reputation for producing NBA Superstar Sleepers :cough cough: Kawhi Leonard.
This shit makes me sad as fuck, but it’s beautiful.
Appreciate the love 🤝
Kobe’s one of the most honest men in the history of the NBA.
His moves, his way of talking, his actions, his persona... It's just like watching MJ... Rip Kobe.
MJ wasn't the greatest daddy, Kobe was.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly 💯🎯 MJ 2.0
Kobe isn’t dead, he is just resting for his next big game.
Heaven needed a shooting guard

Get it off the rebound if I miss the GOAT
im laughing while im sad
18yr old bench player Kobe was disrespectful af lmaooo. He always knew what he wanted
In today’s nba, the first clip scenario would’ve went like this: force a half court 3 for clout over the team, the game. All of it

@@BrodSquadSports yet that one new guy on the raptors, #8. I can’t remember his name is outplaying lamelo in almost every category.
