I hate the lakers but that team during that era was fascinating to watch.

Shaq seriously could have been the GOAT if he just gave more of a shyt. Dude basically won 5 rings cuz he won the genetic lottery. If he had Kobes drive and work ethic :wow:

And that's what burned his soul something fierce. Bean was out there working like crazy, and here's Shaq playing his way into shape and he's still playing vastly better when he's motivated. That's a big part of why they fought.

WE WOULDA 4PEATED IF SHAQ STAYED IN SHAPE .. KOBE WAS CLEARLY BETTER THAN SHAQ IN 2003. SHAQ'S EGO WOULDNT ALLOW HIM TO FALL BACK LIKE KAREEM DID TO MAGIC, EVEN THO IT WAS OBVIOUSLY TIME.
