“The Big Legendaries” Shaquille O’Neal said
With almost a decade long feud between Kobe Bryant, the premiere shooting guard of the NBA and highly favoured to win the NBA Regular Season MVP, and one of the most dominant Centers to play the game of Basketball Shaquille O’Neal found the same old rhythm they have shared in ’99 to ’03 which was the Championship run of the then Los Angeles Lakers.
When asked if he felt some nostalgia playing again with the Big Fella “No,” Kobe Bryant replied.
The only answer that needed to be said on the part of Kobe Bryant. Shaquille O’Neal on the other hand can hardly admit that his parting days with the NBA All Star selection are coming to a close yet giving the fans one more reason to celebrate his illustrious career that would be exalted into the history book of the NBA and better yet the Hall Of Fame.
“We are not going to go back to the room and watch ‘Steel Magnolias’ or something like that,” Kobe Bryant said. “You know what I’m saying, crying, all that stuff. We had a good time. That’s all.”
Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal’s last game together was NBA Finals game 5 loss to the Detroit Pistons that prompted the “Diesel” to think about his stay in the Los Angeles Lakers roster and demanded for a contract extension that only ended in his ouster and was shipped therefore to the Miami Heat. Kobe Bryant was also considering changing NBA Teams as well by considering some offers from the Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago Bulls only to agree to play a few more years with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The feud between Shaq and Kobe Bryant was already reaching an end when Shaq won an NBA Championship with the Miami Heat with the stellar performance of Dwyane Wade. The fact of the matter that time was that Kobe Bryant still did not have what it takes to take his team to the NBA Finals. Only to be taunted last year in a New York club by Shaquille O’Neal after loosing to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. “Last week Kobe couldn’t do without me” was the infamous line that Shaq has been saying.
On Sunday at the home of the Phoenix Suns Shaq was back on stage wearing a mask instead of holding a mic and dancing and goofing off during the NBA Western Conference player introductions.
“It is nothing I haven’t seen before” Kobe Bryant said of the introduction
In the middle of the first quarter of play Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson gave the NBA the moment it has been waiting for by putting Shaq and Kobe Bryant on the floor. However what most people now see is that both have been very civil and have grown as a person, hardly remembering the days when Shaq was bragging more than playing and Kobe Bryant acting like a spoiled brat trying to escape from the shadow of the then most dominant player in the NBA. Now things have changed and the torch has been passed, almost. By winning the Co-MVP award with Kobe Bryant, Shaw has then shown that he still has a little fight left in him and being at par with a prime Kobe Bryant is not to shabby for the 37 year old center who has gone through some injury riddled NBA Regular Seasons.
“It’s all about the story lines,” a NBA Eastern Conference Executive said of the awarding “You think the league didn’t want this to happen? Is this the NBA or WWF?”
Conspiracy or not, this is exactly what the NBA needs. However do not look far into the situation if ever Shaq makes his way back to the Los Angeles Lakers. Shaq has stated that he would like to end his career with the Los Angeles Lakers and that time is nearing as we talk.
