The kobe interview kobe talks Shaq beef

[@88smjls]

I like when he asks were you and Shaq friends Kobe is just like no. Shaq tries to act like it was some master plan lol

[@OneAndOnlyLC]

There may not have been friendship there, but there was respect.

[@oneilDawkins]

so true

[@TheGeorgeD13]

+Luke C They are certainly friends now, but yeah the respect was there from the beginning, though.

[@paulz5348]

he views him as a friend now

[@TheGeorgeD13]

***** They did a podcast together a little while back. You could easily tell that they're friends now.

[@TheGeorgeD13]

***** Either way, they have grown up.

[@hakoonamatataful]

Shaq "won the championship cause of that man right there" points at kobe Kobe dancing around bobbing his head "WASUP!" Lmao

[@SquigyLuigi]

The relationship they had was strictly professional. Which NBA players lack today. They bring their drama from off the court inside.

[@ericdupree8603]

Their main drama didn’t start until after the 2003 season

[@88smjls]

It took Dwight Howard and his soft tendencies to really bring Shaq and Kobe together. Thanks Dwight!

[@TheGeorgeD13]

+88smjls He realized he had it easy with Shaq in comparison to Dwight.

[@AXELIndustries]

+88smjls 10 years too late

[@TheGeorgeD13]

AXEL Industries Yeah, unfortunately. But better later than never. Better to not go to your grave bitter about somebody else or not to have something like that be resolved.

[@tevmac93]

It wouldn't have matter even if they were cool. Shaq wanted money, Lakers weren't going to give it to him, he left, end of story. They wanted to win. They wanted to play to win, not for friendship. Ppl forget the money situation.

[@aegonii8471]

Tevin McCray Even That plays into this. Kobe disliked Shaq because he was lazy and didn’t practice. If Shaq wasn’t lazy his prime would’ve lasted longer and the Lakers would’ve ended up paying him.

[@greatestever0083]

Kobe keeps it real at all times 💯

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

I always thought we was a more interesting person than MJ. MJ always had the "corporate shield" up at every moment. Kobe would sit down and tell you how he really felt about things. He would have been the NBA's absolute best ambassador going forward.

[@rudy1999]

''Throw me the ball'' ''NO!'' Lol xD

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

I’m not a Kobe fan but that shot of him telling Shaq to move around to get more open and Shaq not trying tells you everything

I definitely appreciate the good times

[@royalmcmorris1211]

shaq said 4th time in the finals thanks to Kobe

[@Tits_Money]

Man that's called brotherly love💯

[@Seethi_C]

Now we just need a video of Shaq talking about kobe beef, if you know what I mean

[@paoerfulone1089]

Shaq needed Kobe more than Kobe needed Shaq.

[@LetsDruz]

Definitely not. If Shaq had Iverson he could have won the same amount of titles. What other C of that time could Kobe win multiple titles with?

[@paoerfulone1089]

I meant more in terms of overall career. Kobe was able to win two more rings without Shaq, with his backup being Pau Gasol. Plus, it's no coincidence that Shaq finally started winning when Kobe ascended to the level of Superstar. And if we're talking about other Cs or big men, you don't think Kobe and Tim Duncan together could've won multiple championships?

[@omieg89]

PAOerful One Shaq and Kobe needed each other but Shaq during that 8 year stretch with the Lakers could have won titles with a healthy Grant Hill, T-MAC, Iverson. Shaq only had two more prime years left when he left Lakers and he proved he could be the center piece to a title team in Miami. Don't forget Shaq had success in Orlando and was the only team to beat MJ in a series in the 90s. Kobes first 8 years were spent with Shaq and other great veterans helping him come along. Kobe is a legend in his own sense. That guy kept coming and coming and did end up with more rings overall than Shaq. Much respect to both.

[@royalmcmorris1211]

+omieg89 Kobe could have easily went to the Spurs and won more rings too so watch ur mouth

[@MrBiggin49]

Sorry dude your high .. I'm going to say this to you take both players at 25 and you had to trade one I'm telling you there's no way the Lakers would have traded Shaquille there was a 6/7 year span he was unstoppable. And to sum up how selfish Kobe Bryant was when he scored 60 in his last game. The point he wasn't friends with Shaquille, he wasn't friends with not one player on those championships teams.

[@SadDad01]

Kobe was obsessed with basketball 24/7.. Shaq wasn't. And really didn't need to be.

[@eugenebarretto5686]

Because all shaq do is score from close range?

[@fairydust22002]

Kobe and Michael Jordan get heat because of their competitive mentality but what people don't get is that's what made them so feared and expectational at their craft.

[@Mukibi25]

They respected each other. Love the blue and gold😎

[@oc5406]

Blue?

[@Qatari-]

They absolutely coexisted. 3 peat plus a trip to finals. i don't know what is this guy talkin about

[@tonysnell9565]

Anyone one notice pippen man outta of his prime taking his team to a game 7 against these cats in the western conference finals man MJ was great but so was pippen. I think pippen always wanted to prove he could win without mj

[@bmore24t56]

pippen wasn't the best player on that team

[@smokegamingchannel5370]

Tony Snell but pippen didnt win shit

[@smokegamingchannel5370]

Bmore24 t u said he always want to prove he can win without jordan but be didnt win shit. when mj went to baseball he didnt win shit when pippen was playing in blazers he didnt win shit either thats my opinion

[@rebeccasimmons9533]

Whose here after kobe death?

[@riotordiet9154]

damn if shaq had took things serious and took care of his body and just let kobe be best player like he became they really easily wouldve won at least 6 shaq was decent up until 2009..he could've been what duncan was rest all season then go hard in playoffs..

[@beachstl]

Riot Or diet You obviously don't know, that kobe was the problem. in that era shaq was the best in the league but kobe didn't want to be behind Shaq so he tried to do it himself in 2004 and they lost so shaq traded because kobe couldn't let shaq do his magic

[@riotordiet9154]

Matt dumbass u obviously dont know i watch ball dumbass and shaq was getting fat and lazy thats why kobe didnt wanna step back to hik nomore and by 2004 kobe was best player in the lg played defense like kawaii but got them buckets as well so shut the fuck up aint shit u can tell me you only know what you been told i followed the lakers then idiot

[@beachstl]

Riot Or diet Bruh Shaq was just fine averaging over 30 points a game. while kobe was watching him do all the work you sound so uneducated lmao the only year shaq didn't average 30 points was in 2004 finals when kobe was shooting 32% on 22ppg and shaq with 60% making 27ppg and could've done more if kobe could just pass the ball

[@riotordiet9154]

Matt u bring up 1 series too like thats the end all be all obviosly lakers were right they won more rings with kobe then shaq from 1996 to 2000 shaq had more then enough help and aint win shit and was clearly declining in 2004 you obviously werent watching basketball anybody who was know that shaq was declining his weight went way up as well but you keep reading stat sheets thinking you know basketball

[@beachstl]

Riot Or diet He didn't win because the competition was way to high. Bulls, Sonics, Jazz etc.

[@velvetsky5117]

Two titans needing each other to take down the mighty teams during their championship runs. Without Pippen, there wouldn't be Jordan. Without Kareem, there wouldn't be Magic. Without Stockton, there wouldn't be Malone. Shall I go on?

[@beachstl]

stanley derain Kareem was better than Magic

[@OneAndOnlyLC]

stanley derain I only agree with Malone needing Stockton. I know it's easy to say MJ needed pippen because they won 6 titles together but Michael would have done it without Scottie. He was just too good.

[@Loganbub]

All My People Right Here Right Now not unless had another star to take Scottie’s place. Jordan was incredible but he never got past the first round without Scottie. I know he was younger but other young players have done that who weren’t As great.

[@hanamichisakuragi423]

so tired of kobe shaq hating each other. both dominant players and without each other, there wouldnt be any rings

[@kyleclane3436]

Sean SEAN kobe got a ring without shaq ?

[@amenra7278]

If you take notice Kobe made him work for it. Well I mean he only gave him the ball when he was close to the basket. But far away from the basket no. That was Smart by Kobe. Rest In Peace

[@Jdp_1597]

Shaq had these same problems with Penny bout who was the man on the team and never won the chip but won 3 straight with Kobe AND let wade be wade on the Heat's first championship so really that tells you something, also the only problem I had with Kobe was the interview when he bashed Shaq

[@MrBiggin49]

What are you 14. To make that point about Penny Hardaway it tells me you know nothing about basketball. He left because those guys couldn't deliver to help him win a championship that's why they got swept By the Houston Rockets grow up!

[@owainkanaway8345]

Shaq left because of ego, Penny was blossoming into a superstar before the injuries happened. Do you remember when Shaq injured his thumb in the beginning of the 95-96 season and had to sit out for 22 games? Penny took control of that team, Orlando went 17-5 and Penny was averaging 27.0 points, 6.5 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1 block per game. Orlando even had a win over Jordan and the Bulls. At times Orlando looked better without Shaq. Orlando lost to Houston because they were inexperienced and not just the players, but also their head coach. Shaq and Penny did not like Brian Hill because he did not play in the NBA and he was just not a good coach. None the less had Shaq just stayed in Orlando, him and Penny would have eventually won a championship. Remember when Shaq first went to LA, he went to a weaker team.

[@mauricedavis1740]

shaq left because Orlando wasn’t willing to pay him what the lakers paid him and that’s a fact. Everything else is just speculation..

[@MrBiggin49]

Ask the question how many friends did Kobe Bryant have on those championship teams. Not one. He didn't hang out with them he didn't eat dinner with them. It was a times he had a separate locker room because he didn't get along with the other players. He will go down as one of the top 10 greatest players ever. And he will go down as one of most selfish player to play basketball. and I say this you take to Shaquille at 25, you take Kobe at 25. you had to trade one I'm telling you you're not trading Shaquille.

[@platano3000x]

Kobe was wrong in a way..shaq was a proven super star coming from orlando he deserve all the respect in the world he wom 3 rings and 3 finals mvp..let me write this again 3 FINALS MVP! Wich means shaq was the best player in the finals not u kobe...no nba fans notice shaq out of shape we notice shaq as a beast always so i think it was unfair for kobe to say he wasnt workin hard on practice ..seems more like kobe ego and jelousy got in the way more than anything...and hey shaq can argue about the way kobe use to think but seems like shaq just want to move on and let kobe think he was right ....really kobe the guy is ready to get the ball and u dont want to feed him?..how about saying let me give him the ball to make him work in the games sp i get this guy ready for the playoffs!...stop it kobe!

Kobe’s literally had to bail the Lakers out of games because Of Shaqs inability to make plays or shoot.. I’ve literally watched this man do that too many times to ignore it.

[@franknice187]

Shaq was calling the ball and getting fouled. His free throws wasnt going in thats why Kobe did that his thing. Learn how to play ball bruh.
