Jazz: Shaq: "I Wish They Would've Said Goodbye To Me Like They're Doing For Kobe"

[Koolaid_Man]

I do feel bad for Snaq-O-Meal all he ever wanted was a lil groupie fan love...

"I wish I would've had a Shaq Tour, yeah," O'Neal said Thursday before co-hosting TNT's popular "Inside The NBA" show that helped kickoff the league's All-Star festivities in Toronto. "Definitely. I know it would've been a lot of fun. I know I would've got a lot of gifts. It happened the way it happened. You can't complain. Just gotta move on from it."

Kobe: 12

Just heard some of the international pressor ...the Japanese and Flip media as well as European media slobbering all over Kobe some dude showed Kobe his magna comic ...kobe is 12th but still a people's champ

[Killakobe81]

Kobe was very comlimentary of Dirk ...who he says wanted to play with Kobe but wanted to bring a le to Dallas. Mad respect for the Diggler

& Daddy woulda been good at such a tour. He's pure ham.

Kobe though has a set a standard with his. Selfless, he's set aside his pride, his vanity & walks into the light each game.

Kobe Bryant is a hero.

No wonder kobe and shaq couldn't coexist in the long run, they had big egos... They could have probably won more championships together, but their run was enough for many people to consider them one of the greatest duos in sports history.

Duncan will have a nice stat line as well though he has fallen below 20 PPG. + it won't be as sweet as it was before he took on heavy in the bag, but, if he doesn't loiter it'll be more than ample.

Yes, more than ample.

He's done great. Just a short time a ago they were screaming "Kobe can't win without Shaq." Not only did he win without Shaq he defended it as well. They said he'd never catch Jordan. Coming into the season, ESPN had declared they would air every single Kobe missed shot. Kobe announced his retirement and forced them to praise him. To say they're eating sandwiches is an understatement. Kobe is grinning all the way home, Cully. I hope he puts up 50 sbots on his final game.

[K...]

Ring chasers don't get retirement tours. Shaq will get jersey retirements in four cities. L.A.,.Miami, Orlando and San Antonio under the the all time oppressors/daddy abusers.

Why don't they do that? If you beat a team in a sweep in the playoffs the losing team has to hang a cuck banner. Probably just for a year, or maybe until the loser team wins a playoff series.

kobe is at an advantage, considering he loses every game.

Good for you, sweetheart.

[Venti Quattro]

Shaq became a journeyman trying to find that elusive fifth ring, so people somewhat got lost of what his NBA affiliation really was

Kobe's retiring with the Lakers - a Laker through and through. Given that it's a sunken ship nowadays, he stayed with the team for 20 years.

Kobe is more marketable, and the NBA expanded in China and other international markets just when Kobe hit his prime. He had some remarkable stats, 5 rings, 81 points game, etc.

That being said, I think Shaq was the better player. But he was unprofessional, and that's why he got traded various times.

Sure, but, Daddy could never turn it into a viable commodity, a completed living, breathing asset. It was always (if)...he could get into shape, he could hit fts, he could get along with Bryant, he could set aside childish things.

I think Shaq was the most marketable big of all time. I haven't see any other bigs out there who were as camera friendly as Shaq. Perimeter players are always more desired from a marketability standpoint.

Yeah, and the stupid , skinnin', grinnin' doin' the old soft shoe like step & fetch it for that gd camera was eagerly letting them lead him by the hand to the gallows when Kobe, up in Jerkwater, USA, grabbed some jacks, timbers and fat asses hand and started back down. 15 years later...a triple into the corner, a double over Duncan's head and he's done too soon.

You god damn right I'll say it:::

Kobe Bryant is a hero.
