Kobe and Shaq are arguably the best 1-2 punch in NBA History winning 3 championships together before ultimately breaking up the Lakers dynasty. Yesterday evening, Kobe’s interview which originally occurred earlier in the month was broadcasted nationally and caused a bit of controversy among the media networks.
Kobe stated during the interview that if Shaq had Kobe’s work ethic.
“I would have 12 f****** rings; He’d be the greatest of all time”
Kobe did also note that he wasn’t saying anything new that he hasn’t told Shaq. The two have rekindled their relationship but with these latest comments from Kobe, The Big Aristotle had time to be petty online responding to an Instagram post saying,
“U woulda had twelve if u passed the ball more especially in the finals against the pistons #facts”
He continued to say,
“You don’t get statues by not working hard”
If the two have spoken face to face on Kobe’s stance of work ethic, then Shaq’s comments shouldn’t phase Kobe or their relationship. It remains to be seen how Kobe will respond to the latest remarks from Shaq.
