When you have people saying Shaq’s not a Laker that’s disrespectful asf. But I’m not going back and forth with young Laker fans not even from the cityI don't think Shaq is overly disrespected by the Lakers fanbase.
Shaq just comes off like an arrogant malcontent and a jerk sometimes on Inside The NBA, which I think has diminished his earlier "fun loving" image from his playing career. That combined with the deification of Kobe have some looking at Shaq sideways because if you remember Kobe was looked at as the "villain" when it came to the breaking up the duo but now in hindsight everyone appreciates Kobe's intense will to win while they have a lessor appreciation for how Shaq approached the game.
