Kobe Bryant vs Shaquille O'Neal FIRST EVER DUEL after SPLIT (2004.12.25) - Shaq's EPIC Return to LA! 

Jay Lee they would’ve lost to the Pistons again and again

@Drink Me shut up drink me

super gilly they wouldn’t have made the finals in 05

After the Kobe shaq Three Peat Duncan beat them 4-2 people tend to forget about that. Duncan's team mates werent in their prime. Pistons were the year after. Has their been any other player to not win a ring in the year where they were with HOF, MVP, DOP, future HOF than Kobe?

@@deanskingdom8654 No we wouldn't have - logical Detroit Pistons fan. But... if we would have drafted Carmelo Anthony instead of Darko Milicic, it could have been a competitive series for years.

yeah right bro.. i laughed coz kobe trying his hard to block shaq.. 😂 #smokeweeed 👌

3:06

OMG shaq was a monster. Look that fighting rebound and dunk.

lol, that's 100% how niggas try to block someone they're beefing with

Thing is they hated each other they hated each other so much

888 perfect as all things should be.

Sky Net On Me. That nigga was trying so hard to hold back that smile after Kobe missed 😂

Ironically he told Kobe to score 50 in his final game and he scored 60 lol

soccer are for retards

Ah Kobe...if only he was a team player.

i forgot him alreafy

@@centanhotbox84 aight, no body cares u forgot. Many ppl still do so stfu

ok but he was still not efficient, never has been

Amadou Ndiaye ? 30% is good today how is it not efficient

Butt Hole 30% is good?

@@butthole9580 30 percent is not good ever

Sorry guys but Curry can't hear y'all, 43 percentage on 5690 attempts.

I’d recommend watching Klay Thompson’s if you want to see a beautiful shot.

Yeah, fantastic shooting form with 31% for the 3 😂

@@Courageous39 yea cu the ability to score at Will regardless of who’s defending u comes down to field goal percentages.. Kobe had a streak of 60 50 60 40. 40 40 40 36 .. not to mention 81 but let’s talk about percentages.. u stat nerds are clowni

@@josephmacias8340 Not hard to score that much if you demand the ball every play and get mad and belittle your team mates in the locker room for not passing to you lol.T There is a reason Kobe leads the league all time in missed shots. There is a reason Phil Jackson didn't really like Kobe all that much. Jackson called Kobe a narcissist and that "Michael was receptive to criticism. He wouldn’t always agree, but he would hear you out. Kobe didn’t have that.” “I did a lot of studying about juvenile narcissism, and juvenile narcissists are the worst because they think they only deserve the best. They want to be the leaders. They don’t accept counseling or advice. You can’t criticize them. Kobe was a juvenile narcissist.” All those are things Phil Jackson said about Kobe. For every game kobe won with his shooting, there is a game where he shot his own team out of the game. This is why Kobe is top 10, but not top 3.

@@theflipper404 that’s y most his teammates had nothing but love and respect from him.. the ones he yelled at were the bums so oh well.. 5 rings

Tha Relik that’s not was his face was saying while watching that ball in the air from the sideline 🤣🤣🤣

Shaq’s such a savage, LMAO 10:37 😂🤣

Jarvis Johnson yh lol

Im shitty😂 I thought it was gone a bit more uplifting for his mans💀

@M why are you on a basketball video then? Leave and go watch soccer.

hes just a fuckin ball hogger bro, he aint no ray allen

Spreedom he’s not a ball hogger, it’s just that some of his teammates aren’t open and when he has the ball in his hands without dribbling, you can’t dribble again because that’s called double dribble and I bet your ass at basketball

@@xxWildflowxx It's his playstyle. He can do whatever he wants.

@@michellediaferio1513 his playstyle is selfish. He cant do whatever he wants because its a team game. Thats why he will never be recognized as one of the greats. He is comparable to harden.

@@Nanoonk u are so stupid its crazy. I dony even feel like arguing with ur stupid ass

@@alphatrusbensiii8381 D wade's jersey retirement weekend

I know man insane. never though Kobe would ever retire let alone what happened. rest easy kobe

Facts bro i was 14, was so hype about this. Now I'm 30 with 3 children lol. We experienced the 2000s era NBA. Golden age you ask me lol.

Kobe's fans seem to forget.

Beyond LeBron vs KD?

@@MarcusDailyMedia easily

I think d wade showed himself to the national fans during this game and they came away realizing how good he was

respect came way later...

I remember the day fondly. It was the most exciting game anyone could have hoped for.

Shaq destroyed the lakers

Joloham ?!?!?!!(?

Joloham If that is the mentality of a winner, then Westbrook should be a champion by now.

Furthermore all players that defend Kobe state the same: Kobe’s philosophy is to mentally wear down the defender by keeping on attacking. Imagine someone that keeps coming out you without consciousness. He wasn’t worried about percentages. He never cared about how well that shit looked as long as he won. But the NBA analysts will never tell you this because the stats sheet does not show it. I heard Kobe was only a scorer, this is the epitome of hate. When he sacrificed his game to facilitate along side Shaw, y’all say Kobe was carried. When he became the primary scorer , y’all limit him to scoring. I want to ask y’all: who has a more complete arsenal in their game more than Kobe? I don’t wanna hear passing and getting a board because anyone can do that. We are talking pure skill.

these keyboard warriors bringing out stat arguments and all. This game was a regular season, here the story was more important - kobe almost won against wade and shaq single handedly. That will and mentality to make stories and statement makes Kobe the GOAT!

@cole alm well the guy with the best stat doesnot have the most rings so your STATS have still not been able to crack what it takes to win the championship, and no dont take emotions out they do play a huge role how player plays,reacts,adapts a game, this take out emotions argument is dumb, feels like you would enjoy seeing a match between 'efficient' robots with your robot 'efficient' fans. Sports are supposed to rile your emotions up, for stats you have academics

Sorry dude but he's 2 to Jordan but he was a great scorer though

@@stevyluv743 Kobe still a goat though.

@@ThahitmanTyrie Well i could say 2 goat though

@@stevyluv743 that’ll work lol

@The Stick no

Is that Lebron?

Flinxable YT your fucking stupid

I think you meant jones

@@Keiiluminati 😂😂

Its the real king james 👑

John Mongrue seriously bro I would hate to guard him if I was in the nba

he is definitely the most powerful center NBA has ever seen. people may like to say wilt is more powerful because he can bench more, but shaq has about 20kg weight class advantage on wilt, meaning he can drive to the basket with more force and definitely dunk with more force

If Shaq worked out more during his career and improved his shot a little bit, he would’ve been by far the most dominant player in nba history

kcazzzzz 🤡 can’t believe niggas still believe wilt could bench 500 pounds and jump 48 inches

Gdk fr tho people gullible af 😂🤣🤣

You had LeBron, Melo, the Pistons, Mavs, Spurs, Houston… sick times

Not to mention Eddie Jones vs his former team and pal Kobe

top three at least

They definitely weren't friends

Yung Mariachi They hated each other, but they had respect for each other’s abilities. It wasn’t until at least Shaq retired in 2011 that him and Kobe ended their beef

LAL fans are the most delusional in all of sports history

J Stiles THE GREATEST DUO 💯💯🤷🏽‍♂️

Massive Action what relief? Tf you talking about lmao He has the same dumb expression he always has hahaha

Stfu ya idiot this is all beef talks at what u want when your in middle of beef regardless what was the facts

A former teammate with a killer instinct, firing a three for the win... There's no such thing as knowing a last shot isn't going in... Everybody holds their breathes for game winners

Shaq was jealous of kobe

@@honorrollstudentjustin7376 Why would that be? When they played together, Shaq got all 3 finals MVPs and was the leading scorer in 9 series out of 12.

This didn't show it but everybody went into this game expecting shaq vs kobe and came away thinking whose thay Dwyane Wade kid..he's got a lot of kobe in him

Bc kobe did some foul shit

@@tysonwillis9673 Shaq was just a big baby and couldnt get over himself. Kobe just wanted to win, thats why Kobe got 5 and Shaq got 4 lol

Zanos fax mans admitted it in his book he was salty when kobe called him out for being fat and outta shape

@Roosevelt Darbey Never knew we could just rewrite history and take people's feats away by force.

@@skidlinerz Kobe would only have 2 championships if it wasn't for Shaq dumbass.

bryan miguel abergos johto

Yet he lost the game, due in part to his selfish play. Do you realise the contradiction?

@@scottmccarthy2114 he passes the ball and plus the Lakers was ass around the time

@@felipemoreno3036 he is u father

HuskyWarrior 0029 Ben and sheed were the only others as a duo

Cough cough yao Ming

@@hdisappears9481 How? That infamous first game Shaq dropped 31. If 31 is your definition of “Stopped” you’re either a fool or high on drugs.

@Ioreth basketball reference tells a different story. Your statement is an opinion, mine is a fact. Hakeem was the closest person to “stopping” shaq.

Wilt

farmer with a shotgun lmao funny cause I’m a heat fan and from the Miami area I used to always say wade didn’t get the recognition Melo and Bron got he eventually got more eyes on him when shaq came

Yep sure did

@@moneyonfleek1761 he actually got more eyes on him during the playoffs his rookie year

Yep and blew a 3-1 lead

@@aamen1534 and didnt make the playoffs in 05

@@aamen1534 he didn’t blew it his team did. Kobe show up every game

@@randomperson2540 he's still a part of the team so he still blew it no matter what. Lmao

No, it shows how weak the NBA was at that point. When you look at that team, yeah it looks crappy. But then when you look up and see that they're facing Dwight Howard in a finals, you're up in there like, "Oh, I see."

He didn't care. Nothing shooting 5,000 shots the next day couldn't fix.

Thats that mentality bruh. If LeBron had that, he would be the GOAT, but sadly he doesn't

Exterminate Media Kobe’s best player was Odom bruh

So he should be delighted after a loss?

Roodly F Buts if he doesn’t care, he wouldn’t be practicing shooting 5000 in a day, great logic there.

KingKilla Who had more teammates to pass to? Ok then

Lol Funny video Lebron is better than Kd all time for sure but as a scorer ? LOL, Kd averaged 50/40/90 for the past two finals in a row. I wonder who was guarding him🌝

Francisco Pizarro Lebron was lowkey too shook to guard KD. Maybe PTSD from that 3 pointer from game 3?

The Slurp Daddy lol but I was told that Lebron could guard all 5 positions? Why is he always nowhere to be found when Kd has the ball and they play the same position ? LOL

Kobe finished a 20 year career, KD still playing hasn't finished yet only been 10 years still got 10 to go

Wilt, Kareem nuff said)

He use to ragdoll most centers night n night out. It really did look unfair 😂

See I think minus his size/appearance I don’t see much skill.

Richard Hernandez Kobe backstabbed him at the time

@@ahmed19ui You're kidding right? It was obvious that Shaquille O' Neal was jealous of Kobe.

@@ohiostate4515 why the hell would shaq be jealous, he's one of the best players in nba history, he had a huge fanbase and won the same amount of mvps as Kobe

@@a-diddy2765 The same reason he was jealous of Hakeem and Yao Ming. Shaq hated being second fiddle. He couldn't accept the fact that Yao Ming was selected as the starting center for the All Star Game instead of him. Couldn't accept the fact that Kobe was the all around better player. Need I go on?

@Inigo Bantok Your information only proves my point. And without Kobe Bryant The Lakers never make the finals.

clearly touched the line. Thats a 2

I used to always say that! Lmao 😂 I remember feeling how unfair it felt, he was a behemoth with an otherworldly first step and nimbleness.

Nutcracker Draymond Trashtalk Green Shaq would get older and Kobe would get better.

Hot take

Nutcracker Draymond Trashtalk Green Kobe won 2 more rings tho, hmmmmmmmmm.
