I doubt he has the kindest heart, but he probably has the lowest IQ - basketball or otherwise. He’s funny and goofy because he’s big and stupid. The worst player in the WNBA could shoot free throws better than him. I respect people who earned their position, he was just born big and lucky. I would take him on my team any day of the week, but I think he’s one of the least skilled basketball players of all time.

Summer of 2003 shaq decides to not get surgery over the summer and do it on 'company time', missed part of the season and comes back more overweight, Phil jackson decides to run the offence through kobe and he has 9 straight 40+ point games. Shaq then comes back and starts crying so phil tells kobe to dial it back in or were gonna lose the big fella. This is the type of nonsense kobe had to deal with yet everyone blames him for being toxic and selfish.

And so he changes his stories a bit, add or takes away some details and overall always sugarcoats things in some way. Like when talking about D Wade taking over in Miami for his 4th ring. He said he couldn't do a lot bc he was getting double and triple teamed, going thru a divorce etc but will never admit to being overweight. He was overweight thru most of the Lakers title runs! He was plainly lazy AF! He can't admit to it bc his ego is still too big. He's a good guy but if he let go of his ego at least somewhat, he'd be a great dude.

All the criticism against those guys gets brushed aside, but when it comes to Kobe, it is amplified. Kareem and Magic had each other too. Both of those guys were taller and stronger than Kobe. They were bound to be successful from the beginning compared to Kobe. Magic on offense and defense were subpar compared to Kobe. I'm not even talking about a season here and there. I'm talking about overall career. Even Magic said Kobe was the best Laker. If you actually go back and remember Kareem's career. He won an MVP with a losing record. His overall offensive numbers don't equate to how people perceive him. So much bias is going on. LeBron? Don't even mention his name with MJ. So, are you telling me that GOAT standard is so low that you need to bring up a player who lost 6 finals, 2 sweeps and team jumping 3 times stacking the deck? See, every player has weaknesses and the environmental circumstances that they all play in. When casuals ignore all these different factors and go straight into, "Kobe is not in the GOAT convo!!!" That loses so much credibility. All the players you think should be in the GOAT debate need to be reanalyzed again. People forget all the weaknesses and down years of their favorite players and hate on players they feel threatened. Once again, I personally think GOAT debate is pathetic and not scientific at all.

I would love to hear a whole podcast with Shaq talking about his teammates Chris Jackson, Stanley Roberts, Kobe, D Wade, Penny and LeBron. Usually he will give one line or a single story. I watched the whole thing unfold between him and Chris Jackson. I watched LSU before Shaq got there. Jackson had back-to-back 50 point games as a freshman. He was SUPER nasty!! (For older guys, I think Tim Hardaway stole Chris Jackson's crossover. Tim had the UTEP 2 step but not the crossover. Then Tim Played Jackson in college and next thing you know, Tim is crossing everyone with CJ's move)Then Shaq came in. Stanley was clearly better than Shaq. Stanley had at least as many moves as Hakeem, maybe more, no exaggeration. Shaq had no moves and no hops. But then Shaq had that breakout game against Arizona on national TV. Shaq put the whole Arizona team in the rim and the basketball world shifted. There was a power struggle between Jackson and Shaq, and, what could have been one of the greatest teams in college history, ended up being extreme under-achievers. That isn't a one-liner. It is an entire movie. And that is just Jackson and Roberts. Bty the way, Jackson was my guy. I stole ALL of his moves, Kobe style. I actually met him a few months ago. He is the best. So is Shaq!!

[@kevingriffith677]

So basically you wrote a giant essay to dickride two randoms. Got it. Shaq averaged 14 and 12 with 3.5 blocks and over a steal a game as a freshman. Roberts averaged 14 and 10 with under 2 blocks a game as a sophomore in almost identical minutes. Worse shooting percentages too.

A huge advantage for Kobe in the crunch-time moments. He would guard the opposing team’s best perimeter scorer. With his play-making, FT-shooting, perimeter defense and clutch shot-making, things Shaq could never provide LAL the way Kobe could, Kobe was the go-to guy in a big game that was close in the final minutes. Shaq was the #1, but with Kobe giving LAL all that ‘01, ‘02, & ‘03, while scoring just as many points (technically a smidge more), he may have been closer to 1b than “Robin.”

Not Shaq blowing up the Kobe was carried narrative that Bron fans like to run out there. Kobe was NEVER carried and didnt want to be a #2. He fought Shaq for the #1 spot all the time, and Shaq openly states that he let Kobe take over in the 4th quarter. Im not making this up, SHAQ IS SAYING IT IN THIS VIDEO.
