The Kobe And Shaq Beef Explained - กีฬา
Shaq and Kobe both forgave each other and they were friends again before Kobe passed what a great interview you could tell they still enjoyed each others company RIP Kobe Bryant
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.
I am glad they squashed the beef before Kobe's death.
True DOM2K pointed this out
Same
Glad they finished the beef
rip
Yeh
Man they could’ve had countless titles together if they just put their egos to the side
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?
The feud was both of their faults. Anybody who says otherwise is simply defending the player that they like the most. They were both superstars who let their pride get the best of them and the Lakers couldn’t handle both of their egos. Shaq was the leader who admitted that he was lazy while Kobe isolated himself from everybody and felt like he had to prove he could be the leader of the team
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

What a coach Phil Jackson was. He was the straw that stirred both bulls and lakers. As soon as he coached them both started winning trophies regularly
Agreed. Don't sleep on Tex Winter either. Dude was a basketball genius. Invented a system that ended up winning _beaucoup_ rings.
Fun fact: Kobe wanted to go to the clippers. And he told jerry west about it. He complained about Shaq the whole conversation. But jerry west said “ if you go there you can say goodbye to the hall of fame”
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.
Despite the beef they are one of the best duos in nba history (rip kobe & gigi and the everyone else)
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
Bro I honestly didn't know the full story behind this. Thanksssss!
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
I'm sure the teammates also prevented the fight because Kobe in one piece was more valuable than Kobe in five pieces.
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 ☠️
Literally everyone almost signed with the Bulls.
Shaq and Kobe were both selfish in their own ways. Shaq was selfish to the team for not working out and taking the offseason seriously, and Kobe was selfish socially/outside of his team by not hanging out with his teammates at weddings or parties.
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
Their duo is well favorited but beneath that people got their personal issues and will always be deeper than what the media can interpret it Rip Kobe Bean Bryant
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
They are both eachother's polar opposites and this is why it worked so well while it lasted. Shaq was a kid trapped in a adult body while Kobe was an adult trapped in a kid's body.
Shaq really didnt want to push himself over certain limit while there were no limits in Kobe's mind when it came to imporving.
I understand perfectly why they both disliked eachother at some point. Shaq is a guy who would push himself as much as its necessary and not a drop more. He did that well and he achieved results. No question about it.
With Kobe it was never enough. Kobe wanted perfection not just doing what was necessary. So Shaq's attitude clearly iritated him because Kobe knew Shaq had way more to give than he really did. For someone like Kobe that was frustrating.
Shaq is a person who lives the spotlight and every match for Shaq was exposure. He craves the attention while for Kobe playing a season's game was just another day in the office.
They were day and night but they really complemented eachother very well.
Probably frustrated shaq that kobe snitched on him also

Beef
@@fnxych3penicillin350 exactly :P
"alienating himself" feels like both a compliment and an insult at the same time.
No matter how big of a beef it was, we'll also remember shaq as the dominant Big Diesel. And kobe as The Black Mamba. Rip Kobe ⚰️⚰️
Thanks for reminding and covering this history!
Vegeta and goku type friends
I was wondered about this. Thank you for the video!!!
shaq felt threatened and was scared ...same as to why he made fun of yao ming. class.
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.
Really loved it. It was quite informative and fun to watch.
VERY informative & entertaining. ALSO fact you stuck video title an didn't segue into Kobe's death was respectable👍Great Job
Rip Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant and the rest of them who were there🤚🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
This was fantastic, thanks
Great video, thanks for the effort, I would love to see a video about phill jackson
For those asking Jordan wouldn’t have worked with Shaq for the same reasons as Kobe. We were lucky to be able to see two alpha males on the same team for so long.
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
As a grade school student that time and an avid Lakers fan, my heart was really thorn when I learned about Shaq’s departure. What could’ve happened if they fixed their relationship. They can get 10 rings!
Great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great job I enjoyed every second of this video
Kobe and Shaq is the best duo behind MJ and Pippen. Duos and good but if one of them doesn't get along then it's over for everyone in the team.
3:23 fat Shaq me: shqaq gonna be mad..Lmoaa 😂😂🤣🤣😅
Rip to the logo🕊️
This is a real brother relationship right here
When Shaq was at LSU he was on the team with Stanley Roberts, a year older than Shaq at the same position, and both men over 7 foot tall. the team practiced in the basement of the PMAC, which was called "The Dungeon" because of how low the ceiling was and how oppressive it felt.
There are epic stories still told by employees of the PMAC and Athletic Department of the absolute epic one-on-one battles that Shaq and Stanley Roberts would get into that ended in fist fights.
To say that Shaq wasn't one of the most competitive or didn't care more than most is just silly. He just knew when to turn that part off and enjoy the fruits of his labors. Not everything has to be focused on all the time for you to be great at it.
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
9:27, thought shaq was rubbing is ding dong against the mic

great video homie
Thanks for clearing this up man, was useful. Should have put something in about Kobe's death :( and how Shaq reacted to it and all.
In one summer, Jerry West got Kobe and prime Shaq. Wow. That is absolutely unbelievable
There is one part of this video that sums up a lot of what happened with that Lakers team... It's the part where Brian Shaw is describing Kobe's behavior. A lot of people were simply too young or have forgotten what he was like for a very long time. There's a reason after he ran Shaq out of LA the team sucked for a few years, nobody wanted to play with him. He was standoffish, reckless, and pretty much an asshole. He wouldn't hang out with anyone and he kept up this front that he was working so hard that he didn't have time for friends. I can imagine there must have been a lot of frustration and eye-rolling. I mean imagine being on a team with the guy and he doesn't even invite any of you to his wedding. That's just kind of how he was and he was openly antagonistic/stand-offish to his teammates. He was pretty damn insufferable for a long time.
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.
Great video.
One of my favorite youtubers
Kobe and shaq were crazy before
What I like about Kobe is he is REALLY COMMITTED when it comes to basketball
Great video. I was literally in elementary school when all this occurred. I remember after the three-peat everybody in LA was on Crenshaw/Exposition blowing their horns. One of the greatest moments ever
I think the beef is good at times but spilled over in the end. They pushed each other to be the best they could be.
Wait they fired the greatest coach In history jackson
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.
"Why does Shaq, the largest friend not simply eat the others?"
New fan and Subscriber here!
This was so awesome.
This was a good video. Did not know Brian Shaw jumped in Kobe's ass for being selfish and hypocritical. I'm giving this video a like. You learn something new everyday.
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.
This was a great video. May you do a video on the players with the most assists in a single NBA game?
0:27 diamond in the wuff
Excellent video ... 100% engaged
Greatest one-two punch? That would be Jordan and Pippen.
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
Also in that 2001 season when they went on that hot streak in the end of the year before the playoffs they did it without Kobe and played the best team basketball all season. Kobe realizing that he bought into the system and shaq being the best player which led them to that 16-1 run
2:53 a lil bit of luck my ass, the ref stole that series from Portland
R.I.P LEGEND KOBE AND HIS CHILD MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE LEGEND'S YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED LEGEND'S 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕊️🕊️😞💔😭👑
What's fascinating about the Shaq and Kobe dynamic, is that as much as they did NOT like each other like that OFF the court, they had an undeniably great chemistry ON the court. They were both alpha males that wanted to be "the man" yet they were somehow still mature and willing enough (until the 03-04 season) to put that aside enough to go out and win championships.
great video! next beef video...Durant and Westbrook!
That dialogue between K Bryant and S O’Neil is fantastic.
“I cant live with you, nor without you.”
From the way I see it, Kobe wasn't selfish, he was a beast. It made him crazy that his colleagues were partying while he was doing all he could for the himself and the team, he wanted Shaq to have the same hunger he had, there's nothing wrong with that... And history proves it. Kobe is one of the best players in History and Shaq is known for being dominant.
Just imagine Kobe and Jordan on the same team, it could've happened... Two beasts who would only think about winning.
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.
I still can't believe Kobe is gone man.
10:06 love this line.
2:44 almost unanimously won the award 👏🏼
RIP Kobe he'll always be a legend
4:18 they steamrolled? Aren't you forgetting about their series with the Sacramento Kings? Even Kobe admitted the Kings were the better team that year
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.
Do a video on Heckler history and how it’s shaped the game
Great story!
Personally I think the beef was smaller then we think Kobe was young and shaq was mature, as you can see Kobe is very mature now, I believe the media made it bigger then what it was
They say selfish a lot 😂
The sub-zero and Scorpion of the NBA
Shaq is just a treasure to any team to have, after Kobe, Wade got the championship stints till Shaq got older.. he is such a legend to any mvp guys to have as a teammate.
I swear I shed a tear when I heard Kobe. R.I.P 😢
Yeah I'm sure you and him were really close, and had a great personal relationship. And I bet the family loves hearing random strangers bring up a tragedy that happened over a year ago on every single Kobe video. Ffs
The times Shaq called people selfish 😂
Jimmy had that Kobe mindset, only difference is he was surrounded by careless players who didn’t want to win until he joined the heat.
7:03 is too real 😔
Kobe was a young boy he couldn't hang out with grown men's drinking and partying so instead he worked on his game all the time while Shaquille O'Neal got fat the lakers didn't start winning championships till Shaquille got in shape and start losing when he started to get fat again that one of the reasons he not in the category as one of the greatest big men. He's only great in his era
They had a lot of good players to play with, Glen Rice, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, I wouldn't call them the best one two punch!
Shaq and Kobe one of the best duos I am glad they squashed the beef and become friends again. Before Kobe’s passing rip Kobe
Great individuals on team sport
That Shaq is jealous of current NBA Players.
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.

i watched this, and then I've been watching ever since
TH-cam made me an offer I couldn’t refuse .. I was randomly watching a video where Kobe KOed shaq and his face was “ you were saying “ .. and then I searched for their interview together .. and finally TH-cam suggested first video which was so intriguing to me .. hats off to algorithm too ;)
If you were a Laker fan in LA during Shaq and Kobe era you definitely remember Shaqs big toe problems 😂😂
Now make one with lebron and skip 😂
Great to see their story had a happy ending
I’m just happy that there’s no more beef before Kobe passes away, regarding the beef they’re still one of the deadliest duos of all time
