Gotta admire at 0:09 how Kobe immediately shuts down the "Kobe" chants knowing this is about Shaq and doesn't want to take any of the attention away from him. Says so much about how great of a person he was. (can't believe I have to use the past tense.)
I noticed as the crowd chanted Kobe he kind of tightened his jaw a bit and continued to talk because he didn’t want to take the moment away from Shaq! Kobe was a classy & extremely brilliant guy.
@@gordoskinny1412 They were waiting for him to officially get into the Hall of Fame. Jeanie Buss said it in an interview couple of years ago. It'll be coming soon now, it's just sad he won't get to see it
Schnell They only won 3 chips together. Didn’t realize that it was that few. They could have won more. I’m sure Kobe regretted that when he was alive. Surely, Shaq regrets it. They were both too dominant not to have won more titles together.
@@speakingtruths4215Lakers had a good run, 3 out of 4 still Great..besides it wasnt their time to Reign during late 90s cause GOAT MJ & Bulls Dominated & were the best at that time..Bulls even swept Lakers one year during regular season. It was Detroit's time in 03-04 & they were the best at that time..especilly Defensively which is why they punished Lakers in staples center in 04.
@@speakingtruths4215 You're acting like you haven't seen anything of Kobe talking about that or at least READ anything about that . lol... "I'm sure Kobe regretted that when he was alive."
I loveeeee how Kobe cut the crowd off quick, cause it was Shaqs moment and Kobe showed so much respect by doing that. But if u watch closely i also love that Shaq liked when the crowd was chanting for Kobe, Shaq lid up a huge smile when they started cheering for Kobe. Big respect both ways
The Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen dynamic is an interesting one. I think this should be the first thing we knock out. I’d rather have an inside-outside threat. Jordan and Pippen would lock down the perimeter, but how, who, and when would they stop Shaq? This is where I hope you pay attention. Kobe and Shaq were Alpha Dogs. There was clearly only one Alpha Dog on those Bulls teams. One. Keep in mind Pippen’s best scoring season was 22 ppg, which he did when Jordan was retired and his second best of 21.4 occurred in the 1994-1995 season when Jordan came back to only play 17 games. You can’t have an Alpha Dog on defense simply because no one ever says, "dude, you're hogging up all the charges." Alpha Dogs only exist on offense. Pippen, Kerr, Rodman, and Grant were all guys who understood their roles: play defense, hit timely threes, and grab boards. The scoring was Michael’s job. In LA, you had a scenario where you had no idea who was going to explode. Teammates began choosing sides - no, teammates had to pick sides. Stopping the two-headed monster was impossible. Only the two-headed monster was capable of stopping itself, which it eventually did, but not before bottling that anger and running through the playoffs at a 15-1 clip and collecting three straight championships on the way. #Kobe&Shaq
Um, dude? Malone and Stockton? They were the NBA equivalent to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And if you just _need_ rings to matter in the equation, heck, Magic and Kareem won 5 together.
I didn't know him personally but I was a fan of Kobe Bryant and when I heard what happened to him and his daughter and the rest of the victims i cried for 4 days and even when seeing interviews about him and hearing people talk about I still get teary eyed smh I'm praying for all the 9 victims lost in this tragic accident 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Shaq said the last time he spoke to Kobe was his final NBA game... Not only did he have a sit down interview with him, Kobe spoke at his statue ceremony...
in a later interview he took back what he said because he forgot. he wasn't thinking right when he said the last time they spoke was at his farewell game
His brother died and then hes getting a million cameras in his face of course hes not gonna think straight. They probably seen each other even more times we've never seen the man is very busy and has alot of people in his life he works with and loves
Props to Kobe Bryant for settling to grudge with Shaq, they did great things together. Would've had more rings had Shaq rehabbed his knee and stayed in shape, but what can you do.
Shaq and Kobe they made a great team and they really had love for one another you can hear it in a voice when they talk and you can see it in their eyes
They should’ve given Kobe his statue a year after he retired like MJ had even when he was still playing. It hurts to think that Mamba wont be there to see his statue unveiled whenever.
After Showtime died in 91, the dark years were good only for bringing the cost of season seats down...Thank you Kobe & Shaq for coming when you did ... the two of you got us through the next decade and after Shaq left, Kobe was ready to transition to THE MAN... Those next two championships, ESPECIALLY against Boston, cemented Kobe's basketball legacy. I will never, EVER forget Kobe's grit in Game 7 that year... That game was Kobe's greatest in my opinion. Much love to both of them...
Interesting comment that I can get behind. He shot 6-24 but did just about everything else wonderfully and didn't stop playing hard when the shot wasn't falling. 15 rebs for him is crazy. Sidenote: Pau Gasol will be forgotten by casuals but that man could've easily been the Finals MVP.
I love how Kobe didn't even for a second basked in the Kobe chants. He knew it was Shaq's day. He respects him so much to keep talking and keep the day for his teammate and not about himself.
Lin Bonner it’s definitely hard, but rest assured there will be many jokes and smiles for everything Kobe will be recognized for. It’s the human nature that help us recover and ease the situation with time. One day will come and people will remember Kobe without the outpouring of emotions. Just give it time
Kobe always recognized greatness when he saw it. He recognized every aspect of what makes a human being great and did his best to "One up" that on and off the court. Truly an inspiration
What an intelligent beautiful man you will be missed and you were the best basketball player of all times in my opinion and my favorite god bless Rip Gigi and all the families 🙏🙏
WOW!!! It's been a year since your passing I can speak for everyone in the world when I say this, bro we miss u we really do. RIP Koby, Gigi and the 7up...
I've never seen this before. It shows exactly the difference between the two. Shaq always makes everything about himself, Kobe didn't need that. Miss him...
Major Mackenzie - Strange aint it. Ive never cried over the death of a celebrity. But Kobe, brought tears to my eyes. I was a Laker hater, but yet I still cried at the death of Kobe
💚 Kobe goat Bryant i watched 90 % of your games i never seen anyone better more skilled at closing hitting tuff shots i miss you too much i started doing suboxone and zanax at that time and know im scared i will never get off it RIP kobe gigi 💚💚 your dad was the best you would have went to the wnba and been the best
They got steam rolled by the pistons in 2004. Phoenix was on the rise in 05 and mavs only got better once shaq left to miami, the reason they won championships was a.) some of those playoff series were rigged b.) eastern conference was a joke early 2000s so winning the wcf solidified a championship .
People want to keep bringing up the beef they had but those dudes loved each other. When you young and on top of the world there’s going to be friction. RIP Kobe 🙏🏽

Only Kobe and Shaq can trashtalk the Spurs. Only Kobe and Shaq.
As a spurs fan, I agree.
wh3resmycar agree...it was a great rivalry...Lakers Spurs were heavy weight bouts through out the decade of 2000- 2010.
MJ and Pippen, too!
And it was quite merited, too, since Tim Duncan had one of the biggest trash-talking games in the NBA. Folks look at Tim's quiet demeanor and think he was always quiet. Far be it!

Yes he sure did shut them down fast as u said.
Yea, I loved that, Kobe #24 learned a lot from #8 mistakes and matured into one hell of a man and role model
sycho67ak exactly what I was thinking
Great observation, very true!
I know right
Kobe is so well spoken.
As a high school graduate the guy is something else. That's why I love him. Lol.
College didn't make you a good speaker
He won an oscar.
Plus he speaks multiple languages lol

Sucks Kobe won't be there for his statute ceremony 😞
Still cant believe hes passed away
Doesn't feel real .
Shaq was most upset about him not going to be there for the HOF and knowing who he would pick to stand for him
Shit hurts me so bad I love Kobe
I heard gis statue will be the biggest one in staples center like 20 feet tall R.I.P KOBE i miss you.
