T-Mac playing in the triangle and being coached by Phil Jackson.
Shaq: I Agree With What T-Mac Said. Probably Get A Lot Of Flak, But I Always Said Myself, I , I Think I Could've Got 3 In A Row With T-Mac.
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
The real takeaway is him saying ‘don’t forget who I was’
It’s about damn time smh But too late. Shaq has waited FAR too long and let Kobe fans (and Kobe himself) talk down on who tf he was. Part of it is Kobe was just more eloquent, articulate, delusionally confident, etc. Kobe really had/has people talkin like Shaq was HIS sidekick
“If Shaq was in better shape I would win even more rings”
So that, plus a decade of letting Barkley “joke” about their dynamic, has diminished Shaq’s legacy like a mfer. Yes, of course Lakers still win them chips with T Mac. Prime Ray Allen too. And with experience and better coaching he woulda won em with Van exel and Eddie Jones, and with Penny. These are no brainers that only delusional Kobe fans don’t understand

Spurs defense was great no matter how you try to spin it and he shredded themKobe cultist rewriting history againAs if that nikka wasn't racking up numbers against the Antonio Daniels and 35 year old Steve Smiths of the world while Shaq was dealing with every teams top big man in the west.… who was Kobe’s GUARD rivals in the western conference during that 3 peat era?

Did you watch the Lakers in real time??
Shaq mailed it in after the first chip...Ray Allen nor T-Mac would have threepeated with Shaq
Everyone thinks Finals Shaq was the Shaq that was on full display during the entirety of the 3peat
99-00 was a dominant season from Shaq, he came in out of shape the next 3 yrs...and Kobe was the one that made sure the lakers could contend until Shaq got in shape
If Shaq had Kobe's mentality, they really could've won 5 or 6
02-03 Kobe was still hungry after the 3peat and Shaq fat azz mailed it even more that summer...we potentially could've 4peated if Shaq simply took hoopin serious and watched his diet

Quit discussing hoops. You clearly dont know wtf you are talking about.And having to do absolutely nothing on the other side of the ball besides take a break and put all of his focus on scoring because them nikkas were 0 threats on offense
Two nikkas that barely cracked double digits in scoring a game were Kobes “biggest positional rivals” and these cultist got the nerve to talk about Shaq’s competition LMAO thank you for making my point

You know Kobe would be shytting on T-Mac and Shaq right now. Especially Shaq who always seemed to annoy him when he did bullshyt like this.

Shaq played with Penny ain't win shiit. Went to a 50 win Laker team and kept them on the treadmill. Wins 3 rings with Kobe. Decides his fat ass doesnt need to get in shape. Gets traded to Miami gets dragged to a title bt D. Wade, but we supposed to believe he was really him? FOH Shaq is overrated,The real takeaway is him saying ‘don’t forget who I was’

I was going to say this is starting to remind me of Pac
Kobe is the 2020s Pac because these stories and hot takes will never end. Shĩt we are STILL getting new Pac stories that have us
after all these years.

Shaq isn't making this statement if Kobe was still alive.

Cause he knows Kobe would shyt on him something fierce. Kobe would probably just tweet “5 over 4” and have Shaq in his feelings.
Kobe won more without Shaq than Shaq won without Kobe. Forget all that woulda coulda shoulda.
Yea this would make sense to a Kobe fan. So you rode the man til he was 32, then hop off while you’re still in your prime with more years to win more then you say ‘lol look, I got 5 to his 4
