Love the happy, respectful and lightherted energy between Kobe and Shaq on this occasion. It's a beautiful thing to witness!
these guys together....brings tears to my eyes. you could tell thst they loved/respected each other. Wish the woulda been adults and stuck it out together
shaq is so charismatic man
Wow, back when everything was good between them. Its crazy how much things have changed
Give praises to each other & Smile & Hug and leave. That's all between Kobe and Shaq. Decent working relationship before things went south.
People dont want to see this video they'd rather go on believing that shaq and kobe dont like each other.thanks for the post!
Kobe and Gasol were not a Dynasty. Shaq and Kobe were, they could have legitimately won 5-8 rings together.
Kobe and Shaq (prime) > Wade and Bron 2011-2012
Awww Kobe looks soooo young!!!
1:09 kobe "when i give him 'one of those passes'" he says it as if it is so mystical and rare
Maaaan, I love watching this.
surprised how many times shaq has mentioned kobe as the greatest player in the world
Shaq can predict the future. He said in 2001 that Kobe was the greatest player in basketball when Shaq/Duncan were, just 5 years later Kobe truly was the greatest player in basketball.
He was the greatest then
Pretty sure if Shaq got his ass in shape for training camp then Kobe wouldn't have had to call him out about that, and their relationship would have been just fine. Shaq got complacent.
Yeah, I mean Kobe is very serious about his legacy and he was only cool about deferring to a 32-year-old as long as he was at his apex. We saw what Kobe was capable of since Antawn Jamison challenged him in 2000, the efficient 51 points (each) him out playing Shaq in the playoffs, him coming back from Jalen Rose taking him out with the bad ankle to win the game saving the championship dreams of the Lakers, the 56 points in 3 quarters when Shaq was out in 2002 and of course when he showed out in the 2002-03 campaign. Phil was holding Kobe's game back, partly for a great reason no one could match up with Shaq in the Eastern Conference, to appease the childish ego of the wunderkind that was Shaquille O'Neal at the time. I mean, it's evident, Shaq in a non-satirical manner was calling Kobe "my idol" and the best player in the league multiple times, not only in the video I'll link down below but on this very video as well.
Shaq calling Kobe his idol in the 2001 series against the Spurs in which Kobe was not only destroying a team that Shaq was struggling agonist but the entire Western playoffs:

Kobe and Antwan 51 points:

Kobe 56 points in 2002, against a young Gasol. Yes, this predates his iconic game vs the Mavs in where he outscored the entire Championship contender with 62 in 3 quarters:

Love you Shaq!
You’ll never hear NBA players give a speech with a lot of thought nowadays
GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES!!!
miss this era...they were so fucking beast..
Funny how drastically shaq and kobes opinions of each other changed so quickly.
4:09 how ironic that he said his mother's birthday is on July 14th & I am watching this on July 14th, 2011. wow.
Last time I checked kobe was dropping 20 & 30 points in those 3 finals,. Scottie pippen is like metta world peace
Its hilarious how at the begging the small guy introduced kobe and the microphone was pointing straight then kobe came and he had to adjust it higher three times then came shaq and he just pulled it right upand still had to bend down =D
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
The good o'l days.
Haha Kobe tells a joke at 1:07
He said when he PASSES the ball to shaq! haha.
GOD IS GREAT 🙌
omg its his mothers birthday today. happy birthday shaqs mom
Man. No mic stand in the world is long enough for Shaq not to stoop his head down.
kobe is so hot!
2001? it looks like in the early 90's wow
I swear Shaqs blazer is the size of my blanket...
He's still putting his tongue in his cheek lol.
I was at this event
@sera7ares Of course not counting this year when he had Bron Bron.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👑
AFRO fucking KOBE is on the building
@sera7ares
When did Penny ever have beef with Shaq? And im pretty sure it was Pat Riley in Miami.
I'm saying that Kobe and Shaq were both individually better than Wade and LeBron have ever been making them the better duo.
oh and i forgot to mention that shaq qas definately the clear leader of the lakers during 2001-2003 it wasnt really debateable but yea again good comment
Wtf are you talking about? He didn't mess up the Laker dynasty he just won 2 championships a year ago...
Imagine if Michael said scottie was the greatest player in the world people would believe it Shaq says it no Kobe sucks this is in 2001 c'mon now in 2001 Kobe was already the best
Wade and Lewho?
@sera7ares so, shaq dominated in the finals and other players made big plays to get them there not just kobe
@Bigsmith4040 kudos, what does shaq always say...."we are the greatest 1-2 punch ever created"
@sera7ares lol and kobe is an angel shaq took a backseat to wade
really?! people have been saying this his entire career
Shane Mosley sighting!
Thats crazy my birthday is July 14th
Nope, its not debatable 2001 and 2002 Shaq dominated the Nets and 76ers. Maybe after but from 2000-2003 he was the clear leader. Kobe was the clear leader when Gasol came, because the years Shaq left before Gasol came, the Lakers were just a .500 team.
2:11 kobe rebel behind
Kobe must be so great that he carry his team into 30 points behind
I guess it is still not a sign of they are slumping
Time to take off the purple and gold glasses
YOU ARE WELCOME
@bio2020 shaved his afro in late 01-early 02
@sera7ares If only Kobe was willing to take the backseat because he was obviously carried by Shaq in the first 3. Then he went to Miami and carried D Wade to a championship. I'm sure Shaq would be willing to take a backseat role to someone that deserves it but Kobe didn't deserve it at the time.
what car was he talking about?
i like his whiz khalifa hairstyle
@sera7ares I see you sera!
OMG he had HIAR!? :)
not even close. Kobe and Shaq were amazing! WIth Phil Jackson as coach there was no way that they weren't going to win multiple chamionships. We will see if the heat when 3 straight
@bio2020 dude i was joking, btw im 17.
Boy, have times changed or what?
3 finals appearances and 2 championships in the past 4 years. Yup. He obviously must be the reason why the Lakers are "slumping" in recent years.
lol ur actually right
im surprised that i understand what he is saying
Y R ALL THE KIDZ JEWS?????
dont disrespect mutumbo. this was when kobe was alright. when he was content with never being greater than MJ!
Kobe makes bad passes, forces tough shots, & executes bad plays
He is the reason why the Lakers are slumping in the recent years
LOL
BEST COMMENT ON HERE
ok so did shaq make kobe great by saying kobe is the greatest player
win* not when
@big5524 Its the only one that could fit him!
@sera7ares dude kobe ran him out of la what are you talking about he wanted to be jordan
that's a nice lab coat
what's that weird thing on kobe's head
No he's not passing the torch to Bynum, although I think Bynum is a great player, he is inconsistent. I hope you are joking about the coach thing, Phil Jackson is one of the best coaches ever (if not the best) but it's because he had players like Jordan, Kobe, and Shaq. Kobe's never going to pass the torch to anyone, especially to someone on his team. Please don't reply to this, I hate arguing about pointless shit. Kobe, and Shaq were the best duo of all time. The End.
@sera7ares 6 -7? i say 8 - 9 rings
shaq didnt leave because he wasnt gonna be the leader anymore, the lakers didnt have enough money to sign both kobe and shaq, kobe was younger so they chose him told shaq to move on and away he went
great comment though rather insightful but have to disagree with the wade thing a little bit but not by much
@bio2020 how ignorant. he shaved it in early 2002
@munkhjn1996 it's kobe bryant hairstyle not wiz ugly khalifa hairstyle
what are you even trying to say?
kobe is still better than d-wade
damn imagane they stayed together, theyd have not 4, not 5, not 6.........well never know
Scottie pippen never reached 30,000 points without Jordan
Kobe > LeBron Kobe > Wade
Shaq > LeBron Shaq > Wade
Dwayne is one of my favorite players so im not hating.
LeBron is the best player right now by far.
Don't blame Shaq dude, Kobe fucked it up. Ask Phil. Phil Jackson even wrote a book where he called Kobe "un-coachable". I understand you like Kobe (so do I) but in actuality Kobe's ego fucked up the Lakers dynasty. Shaq still had gas in the tank all the way up to 2006. He was still in his prime after the 3rd ring in LA...
It was Phil Jackson who made Kobe's career success
I think Kobe took way too much credit in the past
Since last year, Kobe could carry a team without the Zen Master
This season it was obvious that the Lakers torch has pass to Bynum
@sera7ares I mean...you can throw all that bull shit around all day but...it only matters in the finals. Look at the past year's Heat and tell me any different. When I watch the Kobe Shaq Lakers Finals...I see Kobe just irresponsibly dribbling around and then getting bailed out by shaq. Kobe just didn't know what he was doing at the time.
If D Wade was that good, his team would've at least made it to the Finals again after Shaq left.
Shaq woulda been the leader up until05-06, kobe was not the leader in 04, he shot them out of a championship. Shaq was traded because kobe was going to be the leader in a couple years and because their relationship was shattered after Kobe snitched an Snaq so there was no point of keeping it together since it probably wouldnt have worked. Kobe is to blame 04-08 failures.
both had big egos, but it was more about Kobe wanting it all for himself, trust me, even though he would never admit it, it was all about himself, if he did not want Shaq to leave LA he would have said something about it, well, he didn't and to this day he would not admit it, does not matter if they are friends now but he is a very selfish player, yeah he has been passing more now, he should have done the TEAMMATE thing earlier and they would have won more than 3 in a row.......
a big suit lol
Too bad the ego got to Kobe and it never happened
which he did for d wade -.- thats what pisses me off
@sera7ares lmao dude kobe was selfish and wanted all the spotlight you kobe fans are halarious, kobe was underhanded and selfish shaq called him here the best player in the world and you say he did not want to take a backseat kobe went behind shaq back and did him wrong dude kobe was an egotistic selfish brat here, he wanted to be jordan so he got shaq put out of la so he could have all the spotlight, shaq i believe would have especially looking at this
an afro?
Not true at all
Kobe hated every word that was coming out of his mouth. Kobe has always thought of himself as THE best so by calling shaq the best....must have killed him.
Whatever. I disagree.
not at all
Why? Lebron > Shaq and Wade > young Kobe
whatever
