How come Shaq gets a pass for being scared to fight Kobe one on one?

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

He ain't say it to Shaq though, he said to Rick Fox.

Damn, Kobe really did give no fukks, huh

I wonder if Rick stopped talking too

He ain't say it to Shaq though, he said to Rick Fox.

Lets not act Like Shaq was Charles Oakley. Dude never landed a punch and was muscled by Charles Barkley. This is from Shaqs own book:

A few minutes later Kobe pulled up. Brian said to him, “Shaq is going to kill you. He’s going to f*** you up on sight.”

Kobe grinned and said, “Ooooh, am I supposed to be scared?”

“Yes,” Brian told him. “This is no joke.”

They get me and Kobe into the theater and instantly it’s a shouting match. We’re cursing each other and calling each other names and I’m making a move for Kobe when BShaw steps in and tells us both to sit down.



Doesn't sound like Kobe is scared of Shaq there. Shaq sounds like one of those monsters in the hood who acts gully but really dont want none and routinely says bull**** like, "I don't want to fight because I will go to jail for murder."

All I'm getting from this is Kobe runs his mouth. 5'1 hoodrats are pretty mouthy and bold too.

In addition to being a huge mofo Shaq trains MMA. He's a legit BAMF.

fukk kobe

 

[Premeditated]

what I'm getting from all of this is that Kobe verbally got the best of Shaq, which is why Shaq always fell back on his empty threats to fukk Kobe up. Which he never did.
You can tell Shaq was always aggy and mad because Kobe was the only person not intimidated by him one bit. And in hindsight was a blow to his ego. Even if he was to tag the shyt out of Kobe's jaw, Da Gawd would still talk shyt to him and verbally break him down.

In the long run, Kobe wins the War.

kobe just never respected dat nikkas work ethic
he said all da right things publicly for a while
but because shaq didn't work as hard as kobe thought he should
he refused to bow down

Here is another one from "The Last Season"

Last Spring, during a particularly acrimonious team meeting, Rick Fox complained to Kobe and Shaq. “The thing that hurts us about this season,” Fox said, “is that both of you have acted like you’re apart from us, and that we’re not any good. We have won championships for each other, sacrificing, and all of a sudden, you turn your backs on us.” Shaq, clearly affected, began to respond when Kobe cut him off. “Quit your crying,” Kobe said.

lol
