Kobe still wouldn't have won those three other les without the domination of Shaq. Sure he's a great of all time. But the amount of rings he has is a bit inflated, because of Shaq.
Headline has been changed. Shaq calls Kobe "probably the greatest Laker ever"
Shaq calls Kobe greatest Laker ever
By John Krolik
Well, this was unexpected. Free agent center Shaquille O'Neal, formerly of the Magic, Lakers, Heat, Suns, and Cavaliers, recently sat down for an interview with Fox Sports Radio. During the interview, he had some extremely kind words for Kobe Bryant, with whom Shaq famously feuded both during and after O'Neal's time with the Lakers:
"First, of all, [Kobe] is definitely a closer. Right now, he's thought of as the greatest player in the Lakers history, surpassing Magic Johnson and Jerry West, especially if he wins this championship, he will probably go down as the greatest Laker ever...
The guys who are making [the comments that Bryant needs a MJ-like championship-winning shot to cement his legacy] and comparisons are obviously the guys who cannot play. The kid has 26,000 points, he passed Jerry West already. He's on his way to winning his fifth le. He doesn't need a signature closing move. It's all about winning the championships, and like I said, if he wins this championship, he will go down as the greatest Laker ever."
Shaq and Kobe have always vacillated between showing each other respect and throwing barbs at one another, but this seems like a genuine compliment from Shaq to Kobe. Presumably, this means that Shaq no longer wants Kobe to describe the texture and flavor of Mr. O'Neal's hindquarters.

How come nobody says this about Magic? or Shaq (Wade in 06)? or MJ (Pippin + Watered down league)?
