How Kobe Bryant made Shaq a Better Teammate to D-Wade 

because its false, if anything kobe was a 1A

Because Kobe was so good that Shaq called 22 year-old Kobe “the best player on all 9 planets” after Kobe’s 33/7/7 on 51.4% (in less efficient era) swept Duncan’s Spurs in 01 WCF. If you actually watched those championship runs, Kobe was the Superman when it mattered most in the toughest series out West. Shaq got FMVP because of weak center matchups in the Finals (Philly also played him straight up). Kobe had HOF matchups at guard on both ends.

@@thsu8facts can’t be better said

Because people don’t read comics

Because Shaq and Kobe were the first duo to show that one wasn’t better than the other. Both were franchise superstars that could control or take over a game.

He bullies the bully though

Go and find out what he did to Lou, you can find it as matt Barnes tells funny story of Shaq in Paul George podcast. It's one of the willdest stories I've ever heard in my life.

Most Bullies are sensitive. Bullies were bullied

@@Norma1250 l said "most bullies are probably very sensitive" at the end there, Norma. But yes, Shaq was raised by a strict military stepfather who believed in going upside a boy's head when he acted foolish.

Yes. he a built like a beast but inside he is fragile. Hes a great guy tho in my opinion. Awesome set of parents

“Stood on business” your lame for saying that

​@@Tygawoodz6and u lame for hating. Keep it pushing goofy

@@SHAMGODTHECREATOR1 I stand on business

looks like u the lame now ​@Tygawoodz6

Shaq is so thin skinned lmao

Unless Lebron not there

It’s gonna be a short coaching career for JJ if he takes the Lakers job!

Shut up

JJ listen to what everyone can plainly see. Don't touch LA

wtf 😂😂

he doesn't really play it off. he openly said in this multiple times how sensitive he is.

He carries that burden from his step pops which he respects but that was his biggest critic and supporter

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.

Chuck to Shaq "firs of allll, i like the blue tie you wore yesterday more than this one and secon of allll..." SHAQ "4 RINGS CHUCK, G14 CLASSIFICATION"

people's perspectives on things can change over time

​@@dandrogynousmusicdoesn't make it the truth

@@dandrogynousmusic That's not what this is. I've followed Shaq since he was traded to the Lakers. I couldn't see it at first bc all I knew about him was on the court but overall, Shaq will rarely admit where he could have done better. And when he does, he never tells the full story. 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.

You’ve got a point.

Kobe is a dirty and selfish player, and he is a criminal.

THANK YOU!!!!!

​@@catgosu6734he's also a rapist

​@@catgosu6734Michael Jordan was a dirty selfish player, and he even tried to cheat an old woman at playing cards. LeKaren is the biggest liar ever, the biggest Flopper ever, begs for respect, and can never be true to a city or a teammate. All these guys have been hated and loved, who cares, maybe you should get out of your mum's basement for a while.

It does...but for other reasons

@@benjaminpeters6729*cough cough* -free throws- he was on fire that series!

100%. He's the only player that I have seen single-handedly win of finals. He had four monster games and there was no second option

@@jdavis9837 Hard not to do when DWade shot more free throws by himself than the entire Mavs team combined.

⁠​⁠@@tdjkhazard4522he got to the line like crazy but let’s not act like that’s the only reason he was balling that finals. Dallas had no one who could guard him aside from maybe Josh Howard. They couldn’t stay in front of him lol

I caught it

Lol he still says that to this day about them just like back then I love it 😂😂

He forgot the Refs gave him a win, damn...

@@DubKings ya the kings got did dirty by that ref, but what about the other 3 L's? should he thank em for those other 2 chips as well lol??

I said one win.

I’m not gonna even ask for any kind of source cuz Shaq has a track record of straight _lying_ about so many things. Idk why so many people already like him so I don’t see why he feels the need to lie about so many things

gary would be a good podcast guest

Seen Gary say that multiple times but hey Shaq tries to change history like with his relationship with Kobe. The man offered Ryder ten thousand to fight Kobe

@@jaystacks5249😂😂😂 is that real?

@@thebucketmanj8525 very real lol told JR if you fire on Kobe it’s 10,000 in the locker

generic comment

Wade was always the true Batman he was just never respected enough.

@@jizy06 Wasn’t respected? Of course he was- was voted an All-Star and All-NBA 2nd team in 2005 and 2006. Shaq was still the perennial MVP candidate, and the one who coaches had no answer for. Wade was one of the best players in the league already in 2005, but Shaq was still considered THE best player in the league by many. You could say that he and Wade were a 1A/1B situation, but it was Shaq would was still considered the MVP of the league by many. It was that 2006 playoff run where it because obvious it was Wade’s time. You can’t tell me he didn’t go up a couple notches in that run.

Kobe cannot be put in any serious GOAT conversations man. Definitely top 10, arguably top 5, but even top 3 is crazy. I can't conceive of an argument to put him over Kareem and Magic much less LeBron or MJ

@@shepardice3775 💯

@@shepardice3775you’re right but if you go off eye ball test alone he’s top 3.

@@shepardice3775 There is no such thing as the GOAT or even top 10 list. However, for entertainment sake, I'll say my piece. Why not? Why can't Kobe be in the convo? 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.

@@shepardice3775 You only say that about Kareem and Magic because old heads bring up their name for the past 30 years. Them kids weren't even born back then and pretend they are the GOATs by reading spreadsheets lol. To not put Kobe in the GOAT convo is doing a disservice to the history of the NBA. I'll take players' words instead of armchair NBA professionals on social media.

But it was a benefit, too. Clearly his hyper sensitivity led to him being uber-motivated to prove the doubters wrong. If you think this is sensitive, MJ literally created slights in his mind for motivation.

Good

lol you don't say

All the best players are. You have to be a little “crazy” to believe you’re that good in the first place.

attempts or makes?

if you get 17 attempts and go 1/17 the other team just made 16 points off your bad freethrows lol

Shaq also shot 39 free throws in a single game in the 2000 finals.

@@GOmegaPHD That's not how it works.

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. Roberts was not in Shaq's league and his NBA career speaks volumes to that. Dunno why you disrespecting Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf by calling him his old name either. But I guess somehow 'he's your guy'.

​@@kevingriffith677Thanks for your contribution stat boy.

I mean he was a pro nba player

Everyone bashes JJ for being himself - a trying dickwad. What qualifications or coaching experience does he have to become a coach for prime team like Lakers?

Shut up no one takes you seriously

They don't want to give the trophy to the losing player

Shaq got swept by the Rockets and was routinely bullied by MJ and the Jazz until 99-00. Kobe didn’t make it past round 1 until Gasol came and they went to 3 finals in a row. Both needed eachother.

@@aekaralagonisi Shaq never needed Kobe. Kobe needed Shaq, and Kobe needed Phil Jackson more than they ever needs him. Kobe was still going to be a great player but people need to stop overhyping it like he’s on Lebron, Jordan, or Shaq’s level of greatness

@@SlickFlair1 In the interview with Reddick Shaq himself says he’s not on the GOAT convo and puts Lebron, MJ and Kobe on it. Case closed.

@@aekaralagonisi Shaq being modest and politically correct. He smart enough to whatever he says how the media will spin it and how some crazy fans will react to it

@@SlickFlair1Yet Kobe got 5 rings to Shaqs 4 playing with way less talent then Shaq did why was that? 2010 Finals ended the Shaq vs Kobe debate forever

Over Michael Jordan and Pip ??? Both MJ and Pip have more chips than Shaq and kobe and they were better on the defensive end.

Stop it

You are top 1 dumbest 🤡

But he was 7’1” and he did make it to the NBA 🤷🏼‍♂️

If Kobe was 5'8 he doesn't make it. 🤡
