It’s undisputed that in their time together on the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal formed one of the greatest duos the NBA has ever seen.
The two put together three championships in four NBA Finals appearances from 2000-2004 and the league has yet to see a duo do nearly the same damage since.
However, despite all of their successes, they were also notorious for hating each other during this time. In fact, some of their angst towards one another still leaks all the way out to the present day. Even though it’s been 15 years since the two were teammates, they still like to take not-so-subtle jabs at one another through the media — even if it’s more in a playful sense now.
