Cultist NonsenseLol, how many times as that argument been debunked? I mean damn, how’s the weather in 2005 breh? Shaq demanded $30 mil from the team owner in a preseason game which he wasn’t going to get but willingly went to Miami for 10 mil less. Kobe was gonna leave if Shaq came back because he’d sacrificed his game for years to an ungrateful, always out of shape, sensitive ego having nikka that refused to play defense unless Love bowed to him and gave him the rock.
Kobe Bryant Telling On Shaq In 2003 Is The Reason Why Free Agents Did Not Sign With Lakers | The Source
"This isn’t the first time the topic of betrayal has come up with the Lakers franchise. Back in 2003, Kobe Bryant was arrested on sexual assault charges and during his questioning, told police that his then teammate Shaquille O’Neal, who was married, would pay women upwards of $1 million to keep them quiet in those sort of situations. Both men had a very strong disdain for each other that was highly publicized, and Kobe’s implication of O’Neal’s infidelity to law enforcement did not make it any better."
Destroyed the locker room with his SNITCHING antics... Then held the team hostage in free angency forcing Shaq out of town via trade
Now .... If we're talking about SNITCHING
Kobe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Those stretches in the playoff campaign where Kobe was matched up against the DOMINANT Steve Smith and 34 year old Scottie Pippen??? .... Oh no you talking about when he showed out against 37 year old Terry Porter right??? Oh wait... You mean when he had to guard offensive juggernaut Doug Christie??? You know what I'm bugging... You right... Kobe made his presence felt against the all world Trenton Hassell!!!... Thats where his TRUE impact was on display... During that "difficult stretch" while SHAQ was going up against HOF's like Tim DuncanPlus the Finals MVPs argument is incredibly disingenuous. Shaq’s matchups in the finals were all absolutely terrible and the East in general was a much weaker conference. In comparison, Kobe’s presence was moreso felt during the most difficult stretches of the playoff campaign. Of course you probably weren’t watching those games so you ran with that dusty old talking point. Guess KD could just plug in JJ Redikk instead of Steph and he’ll be just fine right? He got all the Finals MVPs, just stick any shooter next to him and it’s the same result.![]()

Kobe Cultist once again proving they only are addicted to the player and know nothing about the team... The nerve of a Kobe cultist to talk about "weak matchups in a series" the unmitigated GALL!
Like I said
3 rings 0 FMVP
SIDEKICK shyt

It’s crazy, Kobe was arguably the best player in the league by 2001 but nikkaz that wasn’t even born yet gon give me this same kinda propaganda from the media that also told us that LeBron’s only comparison is Jordan as if it isn’t laughable to leapfrog him over other ATGs including Kobe. Y’all sheep ass nikkaz ain’t shyt.![]()
KOBE CULTIST once again embarrassing themselves.... All of this Nonsensical rambling because it hurts them to admit the obvious reality of
