The Kobe And Shaq Beef Explained 

They never liked each other but had made peace with each other before Kobe's passing. Shaq even admitted after Kobe had died that he hadn't talked to Kobe since that interview he had with Kobe which was a year or two before Kobe's death.

Don't you mean they forgave each other because that's exactly what they did because how they treated each other

@@klasicktha1 yes shaq said he was his little brother. Brothers fight but they did love each other.

Rip

@TAD Kobe was just being respectful by giving tips to Shaq's son whenever his son asked for tips but him and Shaq were not hanging out with each other or keeping in touch. Before Kobe's death, Shaq hadn't talked to Kobe in over a year. If you really like someone you don't go more than a year without talking.

True DOM2K pointed this out

Same

Glad they finished the beef

rip

Yeh

You couldn’t of said it any better!! I’m glad they were able to squash their feud while they both were still playing.

I blame Phill for allowing Shaq to openly be lazy. On the other hand, Kobe isolates himself from his teammates off the court. That is toxic as hell and other teammates felt it as well(One of them called him out on it). Kobe is the most to blame for this feud. For the record, I don't care for either player

It wasn't pride. It's ego. Without kobe's ego he never would've been the best. It's what drove him to greatness. He has no obligation to hangout with his coworkers so that's a moot point

​@fifthtyp3 kobe was a cheating snitch and might got away with rape

@@rpratka7337Phil allowed Jordan to not practice with the team unless he wanted to and guys especially pippin complained all the time as well

@@mrargue8946 yessir we want that video

@@jacksonbianca1333 yes we do

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@JEROME GANTIED you’re dog water kid

Probably at least 5. Imagine if shaq was around for the pau era, they probably three peat in 2008-10

Kobe should’ve put his ego away

*correction... If Kobe had put his ego aside. It took him holding the Lakers hostage and running Shaq out of town, then spending years on a mediocre team, before he started to mature.

I think they could’ve won at least 5 if they had their chemistry. Both were monsters in their positions.

@@logicaldude3611 so Shaq is completely exempt?

Made me think of "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time."

@@DallasG83Your boss has company bills, you don’t.

Agreed. Don't sleep on Tex Winter either. Dude was a basketball genius. Invented a system that ended up winning _beaucoup_ rings.

jerry has nothing to do with the hof and wtf bring stuff up that never ended up happen

@@matthewottosen7492 He thinks that Kobe wouldn't win anything there, so he wouldn't have the accolades

That’s an L take Kobe already had a HOF resumé in 2004 when he wanted to play for the Clippers Jerry West told him not to go to that team because of the owner

He also told Kobe that under no circumstances could he play for the owner of the clippers.

It's because they are both young that year 🤣

Idk if being somebody’s friend is supposed to mean you always go out and party with them doesn’t seem really selfish to me if he didn’t want to go he shouldnt have to just because he’s friends with somebody

@@Ruebenbayona Well, some people would still say that Kobe was selfish on the court because he played too much hero ball, and he did not trust his own teammates. Although, I still say that is much better than not coming to practice at all like Shaq did.

@@Ruebenbayona indeed,i have a lot of friends but didn't require me to go wherever they go and we are still friends,.

@@Ruebenbayona he didnt invite the team to his wedding, didnt go out for dinners with the team and didnt go to shaqs wedding despite being invited

The most dynamic and explosive duo EVER!!

MJ and Scottie

@@nimixcs6696 taking kobe and shaq over them tbh.

@@ronnypooky Nah, Shaq is too slow and can only score in the paint. Kobe may be a good shooter but not as solid as MJ's offense and Defense. Scottie is a pretty big guy who's fast, strong, and can just about shoot from everywhere on the court. Thats why I think that MJ and Scottie are the best duo.

@@nimixcs6696 has MJ and pippen went 15-1 in the 2001 playoffs

Kobe snitched that shaq was cheating on Shaunice

@@damarimoland1613 😂😂😂

look up the kobe and karl malone stuff that shit was super weird when it happened

man... That would have been so funny before the crash. Now, it's just edgy

@@niki8280 Nah it wasn't made in that context. Purely a comment on this video.

@@niki8280 Bro I didn’t even think about that until you pointed it out

​@@niki8280I didn't even take it that way till you said that ☠️

Probably frustrated shaq that kobe snitched on him also

Ye lol

that’s why mj and pippen were so successful. they didn’t fight

both of them got shitty personality even tho people always make kobe look good he is an asshole

@@rocktypemagikawp788 definitely got better as he got older and after his career ended

@@JonathanPaspulaeveryone evolves like that

Yea that’s what’s modern day shoes do to your feet

Yeah when they injure but when they not then it’s no big deal.

is anyone else wondering why shaq keeps saying selfish

@@fnxych3penicillin350 exactly :P

Yao Ming is one of the guys next to Hakeem that Shaq has nothing but boundless praise for.

@@logicaldude3611 He only has praise for Yao after Yao dominated Shaq, before that he was making a ton of racist remarks about him.

Jordan achieved his peak because he bought into Phil's offense and played within it, randomly taking over when he felt he had the hot hand. He would have absolutely worked with Shaq. The thing that was great about MJ was that he became a team player and ran the offense with great efficiency. Young Kobe didn't want anything to do with the offense and wanted to do things his own way.

@@logicaldude3611 Jordan was a team player because the team ran around him.

@@goatman380 nah. MJ sacrificed his assists and let Pippen develop into a playmaker for better offense.

@@goatman380 if Pippen was winning half them Finals MVPs, he wouldn't have cared because MJ mentality was "if I can do it, you can too" It just so happened that when they needed a win for chip runs, he made it happen through any means instead of bricking a bad shot trying to be a hero.

@@kingdinodragonite3470 lmao this Jordan worried about winning the chip Kobe worried about getting Finals MVP

To be fair, Shaq was blessed with size and god given athleticism for his size. So I can understand what kobe was trying to say about shaq needing to put in more work. Because anyone would kill for those genetics. I also agree with not being so focused all the time because naturally..shaq has always been a mellow guy

Buddy be real here and recognize that kobe was playing catch up, of course he needed to work on himself harder, Shaq was established and leagues above kobe as an inherent specimen of the game. Shaq was partying, showing up to training camp with a potbelly and still getting Finals MVPs in those chip runs.

Dude. Are u crazy? There is not enough balls on the court for Kobe and Jordan to play on the same team. The 2 biggest ball hogs ever.

@@ultimateyagerman That's why Kobe is mad. all those natural talent, yet he didn't put in any effort. You wouldn't understand because you didn't experience meeting someone like that as a player. He thinks of him as a rival of some sort, someone he needs to pass. And if that someone doesn't even take things seriously, it's like stepping on your efforts. and think it's a waste to see someone with great talent end up like that. Even Shaq regrets it to this day. He said if he just made more effort, he would be one of the names in the goat debate.

@@kouani1995 didn’t put any effort? Is that why he has 4 rings with 3 fmvp and an mvp along with 2 scoring titles, 3 all defensive teams many all star and all nba selections? Casual statement

​@@jasonmoukala8909 I think the casual statement is the one that looks purely at stats without taking anything else into consideration. Shaq won the genetic lottery being as massive as he is. If not for being 7'2, he would never have made he league. His work ethic is far too poor to accomplish something like making the NBA without being physically born into it. Yao Ming really showed the difference between skill and physical gifts when they first met. Shaq finally encountered someone who could physically stop him and he was embarrassed play after play. Shaq had absolutely zero work ethic, and the team only had success when he would finally get back in shape (as this video showed numerous times). It's why Kobe has more rings without Shaq than Shaq does without Kobe: work ethic. No reason a 6'6 skinny player should ever end up with the greater career than a 7'2 monster if they both applied themselves to their job equally. But clearly, Shaq didn't. And Kobe was rewarded for his efforts in that 2008-2010 stretch while Shaq bounced around the bench of 3 teams. Shaq's retirement came and went with crickets , and Kobe's came with a massive farewell tour closed out by a historic 60-point performance. As all things should be.

Now that he is dead, he is a bit more tolerable.

@@RandalfElVikingo you'd also be more tolerable that way.

Humility is tough to learn when you've been told you are a god all your life

ya i and i even remember in an interview how T-mac described what Kobe said in his early years though, its all basketball in his head, then again its hard to picture him as a bad guy, it just that his outlook on life hasnt matured yet at that point, hes still young, after he got married and bring his kids to the press, its the first time i saw that hes genuinely smiling happily, every man no matter hardcore he is towards their ambitions changed when they have kids, at least any man i know of haha, now that hes gone people will still talk about his accomplishments, mentality and work ethic, we could all learn from the good example he put forth, even MJ cried river when hes gone, thats how you know how important and legendary he is

Hearing what Brian Shaw said surprised me at first. I’ve only know him as a family man, to hear this I feel Kobe had the closest psycho energy to MJ, very tyrannical type of person.

That’s what I’m saying. This guy got that fact wrong. He took a break for one season.

Red Auerbach. Nice talking to ya.

He finally cleaned up his act a little bit after no one wanted to play in LA for a few years. He made a trade demand at one point around 2006-7 which was funny because he was the specific reason no one wanted to go play there.

Definitely debatable

i promise Kobe and Shaq 2001 would smoke any of those Bulls teams

@@solitary2 Its not the name jordan alone makes it the best

Nah. Jordan was great and so was pippen, but pippen doesn't hold a candle to either of these players. Jordan and shaq would have been better than Kobe and Pippen. Kobe and Jordan is better than Pippen and Shaq. Pippen is the weak link.

definately Kareem and magic

The officiating was in the lakers payroll

2001 season they steamrolled. That season youre talking about is 2002

@@axelgiosido4997 they played the Nets in the 2002 finals as the video maker references. That next year he talks about is 2003, so he’s specifically mentioning 2002 and not 2001

@@YaNeverLearn as a Laker fan or even a basketball fan who's been following the league quite a while, its already a given that he is pointing out to 2001. And it was clear when he said after the Lakers first title. Maybe he didnt specifically mention 2001 but it was already obvious :)

@@axelgiosido4997 You clearly aren't listening to the commentary in the video. 3:22 - 4:12 he literally says "2001", then from 4:13 - 4:21 he says "next year", indicating 2002, which would be the season he's indicating they steamrolled. The Kings took them to 7 games, which is anything but a steamroll. Also if you were a true Laker fan you'd know they played the 76ers in 2001. They played the Nets in 2002.

He probably was jealous of Kobe’s rise to stardom too.

Or kobe was selfish.

@Tripton Puffinbarger shaq and team said soo. Shut dem up bitcch.

@Tripton Puffinbarger who care, kobe selfish. Team and shaq said so.

@Tripton Puffinbarger he was selfish, it doesn't matter who died, who apologize etc etc. Bottom line is *KOBE SELFISH* as said by his team and shaq.
