Shaquille O'Neal Has Perfect Response to Kobe Bryant Yet Again With Hilarious Instagram Post

The Shaquille O'Neal/Kobe Bryant beef was re-ignited this week after Kobe claimed that the Lakers could have won 12 titles if Shaq had a better work ethic. Not willing to be slandered, Shaq hit back, claiming that Kobe would have won more if he'd only passed the ball more frequently.

Then the two of them yukked it up. They were just...kidding? Who knows what any of this was.

Of course, Shaq still needed to remind us how dominant he was at his peak with the Lakers, especially when the chips were down in the NBA Finals. He took to Instagram to reminisce about his unreal finals against the then-New Jersey Nets.

Lazy men get put-backs.

The Lakers swept the Nets that series, of course, as O'Neal averaged 36.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 blocks per game. I guess that's what Byron Scott gets when he plays Todd MacCulloch and a very young Jason Collins against Shaq.

Shaq may not have had Kobe's work ethic, but who else in league history besides Michael Jordan did? While there are some serious infractions on the part of both parties in this feud, this is the product of two alpha males and big personalities in the prime of their careers butting heads, which isn't uncommon.
