While the NBA basketball players, who played in the days of Michael Jordan, answer questions of who is better, "Jordan or LeBron James," Shaquille O'Neal returned to the question a few years ago, "LeBron or Kobe?". Shaq, who played in teams of both, suggests Kobe'ego Bryant.
O'Neal - NBA commentator today in the channel TNT - Monday was a guest at Dan Patrick's radio show. He was asked by the teacher about who was the better player in his heyday, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James.
- I played with both. You know, Kobe has that killer instinct, and probably would choose Kobe'ego. It is no objection against LeBronowi, but you know, me and Kobe played more with each other. I've seen what he can do.
O'Neal and Bryant played together for 8 seasons, but really what they need to blame for the fact that it did not last longer. This relationship of the two of the 4-5 best players in the world have led to O'Neal's departure from Los Angeles Lakers in 2004. Rather than create a dynasty in the likeness of the Chicago Bulls of the 90s, the duo managed to win only three titles. They played together with him in the best of times O'Neal, but have not played together in the best of times Bryant. Today you can speculate how many titles together to have won - five, six, seven?
With James Shaq played only one season 2009/10, when he was Centrex top five of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was the last season of James in Cleveland for four years before moving to Miami. That season ended for James and the Cavaliers unexpected defeat in the second round with a 2-4 lower seeded Boston Celtics. In the last three games of that series, James had more losses (19) than the casts (18). It was the worst moment of his career ... before a few months later aired on ESPN today announced that it is going to the Miami Heat and ... before the Heat in the NBA Final sensationally lost to the Dallas Mavericks, and James won the Finals fewer points than Jason Terry . Since then, the career of James climbed back up.
They climbed up a relationship with Kobe'em Shaq. The lowest point reached in July 2008, a few weeks after the Bryant and the Lakers lost the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics. In the evening, in one of New York clubs, Shaq came on stage and started rapping:
"See, you know what I am.
In the last week Kobe could not do this without me. "
"There is a big difference between the first and second place.
Kobe, tell me how my tastes du ** "
O'Neal wanted only here in this offhand manner Bryantowi recall that by that time - until 2008 - has not won a single title without O'Neal (then won two in subsequent years - ed. Ed.).
"Kobe poured me.
That's why I take divorce.
He said that Shaq gave 'dz * WCE "million dollar"
Shaq was like here the situation from 2003, when Bryant was accused by a teenager from Colorado for sexual assault. During the talks with the police Kobe had reportedly testify that Shaq in the past paid one woman for it to withdraw it similar charges. Shaq denied, but rapping on stage, suggested that what he said Kobe, Shaq has led to a divorce from his first wife Shaunie Nelson.
But over the last few years with Bryant Shaq relations have improved a lot. Although it is mainly Shaq righteous Bryantowi compliments.
Bryant comparisons to James but disappeared, because the 36-year-old leader of the Lakers only played in 41 games over the last two seasons.
Bryant has won five championships, James only two. However, James was elected 4 times a regular season MVP, Bryant once. Bryant was for as many as 11 times in the top fives of the season, James until then 9 times.
So who was better? The answer is simple.
