It’s nothing serious here to see, just two former teammates and legends finally embracing each other. Watch as Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant looking like the best of friends on Inside The NBA presented by TNT.
Following the Lakers 107-100 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, The Diesel tried to goat Kobe into one last monster performance in front of the home crowd.
Bryant — who seems ready for all of this to end — gracefully declined.

The Lakers’ final game of the 2015-16 season at Staples Center takes place April 13 against the Utah Jazz, and Bryant’s season high of 38, came against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Feb. 2.
