Shaq allegedly threatened to 'murder' Kobe Bryant in 2004

[UK2K]

John Black: Mostly it was Shaq and Kobe didn't like each other, but it didn't affect them on the court. They would say something about the other, on or off the record, but it didn't become confrontational more than two or three times over the eight years. When Kobe gave the statement to Jim Gray where he went off calling Shaq fat and lazy, that was one of the times. There was one really bad one, early on. Brian Shaw had to pull them apart. Shaq threatened to murder Kobe.

And then...

[QUOTE]Kobe Bryant: I wasn't going to play with Shaq anymore after that. That just wasn't going to happen. Things he had said, criticism from the media in saying I can't win without him. Look, I put that individual s--t aside to win championships and now I'm getting criticized for it. Now I'm going to show you f--ks what I can do on my own. So that challenge, I was going to answer that challenge no matter what

whether I was going to stay in L.A. or go somewhere else, I was going to answer that challenge.

That loyalty though.

I know you say some crazy shit but this is.. well.. just say you don't mean in a fight, like verbally or something

That loyalty though.

The Lakers could have chose Shaq as their franchise player & traded Kobe at that point in his career.

in a fight, shaq doesn't know how to throw a punch.
Both of them were fighting virgins at that point, Kobe is at least faster, and shaq is dumb as ****

Kobe was about to wreck Childs. Childs sucker punched Kobe and then ran away like a little bitch...Kobe ate those weak hits, got right up in Childs grill, swung back and that's when Childs ran backwards and hides behind his teammates like a pu$$y

I thought it was interesting to hear Chauncey Billups verbalize what everyone likely already assumed. The single-coverage of Shaq was an essential means of using Kobe Bryant's own ego against him.

Chauncey Billups: Our game plan was very calculated. We knew we were going to play Shaq straight-up. We knew there was no way we could stop Shaq straight-up. And there was also no way we could stop Kobe straight-up. But, if we’re going to play Shaq straight-up, [the Lakers'] eyes are going to get big, which means they’re going to keep throwing it down there. We’re telling Ben the whole time, "Take fouls when you need to, but don’t get yourself into foul trouble. You need to give up a layup, cool, we’re going to get what we want on the other side." But what’s going to happen is Mr. Bryant is going to get a little discouraged with getting no touches and now the second half comes around…now he’s pressing. He’s going to start coming down and just breaking the offense. When you do that, you’re done—you’re playing right into our hands. Even if you start making those shots, you’re finished.

If we are being serious lol no trolling then you would see that Kobe actually took those shots really well considering he was sucker punched and would have easily wrecked Childs if they weren't seperated. But the other poster is crazy in saying that Kobe would wreck Shaq
