@drestathagangsta8880 3 года назад

It wasn't just Kobe and Shaq feuding that ended their title run. The both of them along with the rest of the Lakers squad were getting tired of Phil and his whole "zen master" mind games. Shaq and Kobe have both spoken on this as well. By the time the 2004 season rolled around, they had practically tuned Phil out.

@@jeremiahlewis4630 This is a story from Phil Jackson ill make it quick. Shaq was injured for a stretch of games. This turned into Kobe averaging 40 for a month. Phill calls Kobe in and says, “Hey Kobe we need you to dial it back so we can keep Shaq involved in the offense. When he’s having a good offensive night he plays better defense.” And Kobe obliged.... I don’t understand where that narrative came from. It definitely didn’t come from anyone on the team. That’s a media thing. Shaq says they’d talk shit about each other to the media in the locker room then look across the room and wink at each other so... I think people should let go of that narrative now. It was entertaining but it’s not true.

If Shaq stayed it would never be his team so Kobe gave the ultimatum, either he leaves or I do and I dont blame Kobe for his Alpha mentality of wanting to be the top dog and leader of his own team.

Again, just my opinion.

shaq lying. He didn't wanna stay there because of kobes mamba mentality

No he not. Lakers didn't want to pay him because he was aging and they had Kobe.

Maybe because Kobe wanted to leave and they have to choose between him and shaq.

If you want the real Shaq Kobe story go read “three ring circus” by Jeff pearlman. You’ll get the real, Shaq and Kobe hated each other and Kobe said he didn’t wanna play with Shaq anymore after the 04 finals. Kobe had a deal done with the Clippers if the Lakers brought Shaq back, the traded Shaq and Kobe remained a laker.

@mjnorman9824 3 года назад

That’s an awful book, not the “real story”. Jeff Pearlmann is the writer version of Nick Wright - he has an agenda and always hated Kobe Bryant. He interviewed every person he could find who might say something bad about him, and ignored anyone else.

@@melvynsngltn27 I actually am a real Laker fan, and either you’re not or you’re one of the last remaining delusional “Shaq guys”. Other than the Jim Grey thing, which was premeditated and the result of years of frustration with Shaq’s conditioning and attitude, KOBE was the one who tried to downplay their feud to the media.

Shaq's greed and laziness robbed himself, Kobe, and Laker fans of at least 3 more rings.

Kobe’s selfishness and aloofness as well

@mjnorman9824 3 года назад

@@johnnycoop8694 Kobe wasn’t playing selfishly then. His teammates didn’t want to admit how he good he was and they wanted the ball too. Shaq’s idea of selfish guard play is him not getting the ball every time down the floor.
