And so in 1998, Kobe was becoming a popular player. This was Kobe’s first all-star season, the season that Kobe would have his iconic duel with Michael Jordan and be called the Next Jordan. Safe to say there was a lot of media frenzy over this 19 year old. So in a weird, not so weird turn of events, Kobe’s jersey sales went through the roof and actually surpassed Shaq and Shaq who was in his feels and reportedly jealous, called out Kobe for playing selfishly. However the coach at the time, Kurt Rambis, was partial towards Kobe. As Shaq grew impatient, Rambis preached more patience with Kobe. Kobe wanted to be the greatest player of all time right out the gate and so he was trying to expedite the process. While Shaq didn’t want to be a guinea pig or a sacrificial lamb in the process, because he was the best player in the NBA averaging 27 points and 11.5 rebounds in his first 3 seasons on the Lakers. Shaq was the leader, however he didn’t want to manage his teammates and responsibilities. This would lead to the lockout 1998-99 season which, uhhh, was an important turning point for these two. There would be a team scrimmage with Kobe and Shaq on opposite teams. And I’m just gonna let Kobe and Shaq describe this one. Yeah, Kobe and Shaq had a fight.
So yeah Shaq called Kobe selfish. In fact, he’s the one who started the rumors of Kobe being selfish to the point where it was just becoming part of Kobe’s reputation. What made it worse was that Phil Jackson, who became the coach in 1999, took a side, Shaq’s side, making the NBA rivalry worse.
Kobe’s career started to take off even further next year and he averaged 28.5 points next season. On top of that, there were reports that Shaq came into training camp out of shape which made Phil and Kobe both mad. Kobe had improved his game and assumed more responsibilities in the offense which would come at the expense of Shaq. At that point, Kobe was already one of the hardest workers in the NBA, he was serious. Shaq had more of a fun personality. He put in the work, but it didn’t meet Kobe’s standard. This time he waited till camp started to get surgery and had the famous quote “I got hurt on company time, so I'll rehab on company time,” Kobe, well Kobe was mad.
So while that decision loomed in the balance, that would tear his whole family apart and affect his play on the court, but it would also strain the relationship between his teammates and him. Phil also made it a point to alienate Jerry West from the team, kicking him out of locker rooms which would in turn further push Kobe from the team since West favored Kobe. On top of all that, Shaq wasn’t publicly supporting Kobe. Instead, Shaq was making statements such as the Lakers were his team and that the reason that Gary Payton and Karl Malone came to LA because of one player, himself. And then in October in an interview with Jim Gray, Kobe calls Shaq fat and lazy. Yeah and you would think that that’s not gonna go over so well. And you’d be right.
And in a preseason practice, Shaq is telling their teammates that he’s gonna blank him up. And when Kobe pulls up. And Shaq said this, “Hours earlier we had just promised our coach we'd stop. It was a truce broken. I let the guys know, ‘I'm going to kill him.“’ So when Kobe comes, “Kobe stands up and goes face-to-face with me and says, ‘You always said you're my big brother, you'd do anything for me, and then this Colorado thing happens and you never even called me,“ and that ‘Well, I thought you'd publicly support me, at least,' Kobe said. 'You're supposed to be my friend.
And so now the race was on, who would end up with more rings. We have to talk about the cheating scandal. While this whole sexual assault case was happening, Kobe told the police detectives quote “he should have done what Shaq does… that Shaq would pay his women not to say anything” and already had paid up to $1 million “for situations like this.”
In 2008, Shaq blamed Kobe for his marriage saying that “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”
So yeah Kobe gave the MVP trophy to Shaq’s son and for Shaq, it was a sort of realization to put the pettiness aside. Shaq would congratulate Kobe when he won his 5th championship, Kobe would say that he had one more than Shaq.

How many rings if Kobe and Shaq stayed together?
Check out Skillshare, this the real gas for free: skl.sh/mj2kallday
yea i will
Hello mj
TBH at least 2 plus i think they still could have got Gasol
Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5,not 6, not 7, not 8
Probably 6 or 7 rings
The important part is that they became good friends again before Kobe passed away. Ik Shaq has to at least be happy about that
They weren't good friends. They patched up but never really talked off-camera. Kobe was like a mentor to Shaq's kids, Shareef and Shaqir.
@Janiyah Simone Bell-McLeod Shaq and Kobe never regained the close friendship they had during their championship years. Shaq says the last time they spoke before Kobe's death was the TNT sit down more than a year ago. Clearly, they weren't good friends if they didn't constantly communicate with each other.
Hey Riley, how come you ain't in the NBA yet? You were killing in that one basketball episode.
Facts
RIP Kobe
Sounds like they were more like bickering brothers than friends. In the end they had respect and love for each other.
RIP Kobe... May the good Lord accept you in Heaven
69
Ofcourse he will
Shaq really called himself a horse, I’ma need to react to Shaq highlights
MJ not pinning this is suprising
@@JFKennedy63 naw, it's just his second channel lol.
RRD games24 Still wack
MJReactsALLDAY no he seems like a bull
Man this just made sad man i was getting over the fact that Kobe's not here anymore.
It's like brotherly feud at the end of the day they still family.
There was a myth that the first guy in the comments got a like from mj
myth busted its not true
5months ago tragic😭
What about a video on the real reason why Kyrie Irving left Cleveland
I'd like to see one about that too
That's a good one
because kyrie wanted to be leader in a new team but he failed
I loved the Shaq-Kobe fued.
It was definitely entertaining.
And yes they are the greatest Duo EVER! NO DEBATES
Worrrrrrrrrrrrd 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The best duo ever in the history of the game back then
After hearing about the lack of intervention that played a part in the feud, I can’t help but wonder where the Lakers would have been if Shaq never got traded to the Heat. We may never know.
Spurs fan here. We'd have at least one more trophy if not for them and probably 2.
Laker fan here. Spurs are trash that’s why we won
Berus Craig You seriously don’t believe that
La is Invincible
@@iamspeed5656 sometimes the Lakers won. And MOST times the better team won. Lakers won 3 straight and beat the Spurs in 2001 and 2002. So they won twice. What about 99 when Lakers were swept? What about 03 when Spurs ended the Lakers run? What about 04 when Spurs were cheated because they allowed a catch/180 degree turn/jump/shoot in .4 seconds? Lakers were great but watch the games or gtfoh.
Thomas Pitts that dude is dumb as hell. I’m a laker fan but to say the spurs suck is plain ignorant😒 what a dumb ass!
Nooo you cut out the part where k0b jamming in the beginning and he says "wassup!" Lol
19:42 shaq tells kobe "its time to wear your own jersey"
Crazy!! Best combo in history!!
Love your vids cause I always learn something new about stuff I wasn’t old enough to understand
Crazy.. And i think an additional 3 championships had they stayed together which woukd add to the who was the goat conversation.. but kobes numbers definitely take a hit. Maybe doesn't get so high on the scoring list. But would absolutely solidify kobe and shaq as the best duo in sports history. But in my opinion they still are; (were). RIP Kobe

I know about all the fights and feuds. To me they will always be Uncle Kobe and Uncle Shaq. Gigi and Sharif had those types of relationships with them. Yes they fought, brother fight all the time but it dont get in between they kids. Thats family.
The docu that i wanted.
Crazy 😍
MJ, you look really good in this video.
winning solves all problems
a star is born soundtrack
Boom line: how do you feel about your friend when they die? They left as best friends and made each other better people.
Craaazy
Kobe and Shaq was the craziest Duo ever
Good video quality...
They were like that because each think that that should be the way to win. both are competitive in different ways thats why they had a fued just being competitive. at least they became friends after and still respect each other even after the pasing of kobe
What the outro songs name
i had no idea about some of these details.
I neeeeed that opening song broooo
yuh. new vid. and stream later tonight. yuh.
Crazy 😜
In summary what ruined their chances of playing together was egos and their own playing styles
Cray cray
Wow, "CRAZY"
Born in nba
“crazy”
Bro why I thought the title said ft. Flight. I was about to not click on this. But nonetheless great video my guy
Imagine if they got along do I hear a couple more rings ?
Durant and Westbrook are/were probably the similar type relating to Shaq and Kobe but just abit less heated
Does anybody know the name of that song playing at the end of this video
Shaq you know better 0:56 Shaq you know better 0:45
I am happy for Shaq squashing the beef especially in light of Kobe's sad death with his daughter beside him.It just goes to show that no one is promised a second of life.Damn it still feels weird speaking of Kobe in the past sense.
Do you actually have neon lights in your room or is that a fake background lol?
