Video: Kobe Bryant Admits Being Shaq's Sidekick During Lakers Championships
When the topic of Shaquille O’Neal came up, Bryant smiled and welcomed the questions.
When asked point blank if he was Shaq’s sidekick during the duo’s time together, Kobe responded, “Yea, for sure.”
“The challenge for me was to show [Shaq] and show everybody else that I could win without him,” Bryant continued. “Point proven.”
“I took it as an honor and as a challenge to be a player that could play the supporting role. Then, move from that, take the leading role, win that way as well. I took a lot of pride in that.”
It may have taken nearly a decade since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal went through a public divorce, but the former seems to be content with his role as sidekick to the latter during the time they played together.
^^^Thats why you really mad. Those sidekick rings got yall ass in a chokehold.
You keep bringing up bleacher report not me. Nobody needed bleacher report to tell us Kobe wasnt close to Bron or MJ
