You OK breh
Them rings belong to Kobe. Shaq is a lazy, fat, clown who laughs at fart jokes.
Finals MVP is the way you separate the two
Shaq has more
Shaq carried Bean
Shaq still had a better career, his prime >>>> Snitchbe's prime by a long shot, those 3 finals MVP told the story between the two
Shaq had easier matchups in the Finals. In 01 & 02...Kobe was clearly playoff MVP in total
I just don’t see how a guy is getting carried if he gets 25-30, is your best defender AND closes games
It makes ZERO sense
The crazy thing is Kobe made more game winning plays in the finals than Shaq
bytch shut up
Shaq carried Kobe if anything
not sure if anyone remembers this but these guys lost to Detroit due to kobe WANTING TO BE THE MAN, shaq was shooting something like 65 percent from the field and kobe was jacking up stupid shots all over the court, note i did not look up stats just going off memory, its crazy that shaq gave half effort and got all those rings imagine if he had a better work ethic. Also kobe was a great player but he grew into a great player, he did not come out the gates putting up 25, 5 and 5 but he was a great player also. What made kobe great is he great killer instinct and the ability to put the work in to get better.The knock i have against him, is that i dont think he ever shot 50 percent from the field, why have skills if you cant be efficient. Also, shaq flaws is that he cannot take any type of legitimate criticism/lack great discipline and thats why a man with the ability that should have made him the goat, he is only recognized as just one of the best, not the best, but maybe he is okay with that.

You clearly don't have enough context...you're looking at stats...did you watch the series?
First off, Karl Malone got hurt early in the series...Lakers had no answer for Sheed after that...Sheed exerted his will offensively and defensively following Malone's injury which helped to limit Shaq
Secondly, GP played like sh*t. He was outclassed by Chauncey. It's one thing for GP not to be able to cook Chauncey but Chauncey was flaming him. It got so bad Phil Jackson was forced to put Kobe on Chauncey to slow him down.
Add to that, Detroit's bench was way better. They had more depth, more variety, better rotations.
Lastly, Kobe was the only one who could really generate his own shot against Detroit. Detroit basically put clamps on everyone else so Kobe had to shoot. Otherwise, Lakers would have lost every game by 40.
Context is everything!
