NBA – Kobe vs Shaq – It’s On

The NBA Playoffs didn’t need any more fuel, but Shaquille O’Neal to the Phoenix Suns, combined with Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers, set up a battle royale this spring. Say, with the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers… it’s on.

Shaquille O’Neal won a title with Pat Riley and the Miami Heat. Now, as the Miami Heat rebuilds, Shaquille O’Neal has returned not just to the West, but to the same division as the Los Angeles Lakers. Shaquille O’Neal is a student of the game, and there’s nothing he likes more than joining the division ranks with his old friends Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson.

Shaquille O’Neal has a lot of help with him on the Phoenix Suns, and this spring he’s gearing up for a simply epic NBA playoff-time matchup between these two teams and all these personalities. Pray the matchup gods will put them in the same group before maybe San Antonio gets their hands on either of them, but maybe this year the San Antonio Spurs should be the ones hoping to stay out of the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles. Lakers. road.

So Phil Jackson flashes his smirk, waiting, probably eager for a challenge from his former protégé, Shaquille O’Neal. You know Kobe Bryant is in a rage, wanting to stop what could be Shaq’s fifth NBA ring. Between Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, the only score that matters is 4, which is the number of Championships Shaquille O’Neal has, and 3, which is the number Kobe Bryant has.

The difference is that Shaq’s room was won without Kobe, whereas Kobe has been languishing in mediocrity until now, after Shaq. It is very possible that they will get in the way of each other on the way to the finals. Old scores to settle, new allies to help settle them.
