Shaquille O'Neal Recalls His Beef With Kobe Bryant In New Tell All
 Shaquille 'Shaq' O'Neal and Kobe Bryant once made magic happen for the Los Angeles Lakers....and then it ended. The magic was lost and a friendship was broken. Shaq in his tell all, 'Shaq Uncut: My Story' shares what happened:
On the break down of his relationship with Kobe:
So I’m on edge because I don’t have a new deal, and Kobe is on edge because he might be going to jail, so we’re taking it out on each other. Just before the start of the ’03-’04 season the coaching staff called us in and said, “No more public sparring or you’ll get fined.” … Phil was tired of it. Karl Malone and Gary Payton were sick of it. … So what happens? Immediately after that Kobe runs right out to Jim Gray and does this interview where he lets me have it. He said I was fat and out of shape. He said I was milking my toe injury for more time off, and the injury wasn’t even that serious. (Yeah, right. It only ended my damn career.) He said I was “lobbying for a contract extension when we have two Hall of Famers playing pretty much for free.” I’m sitting there watching this interview and I’m gonna explode. Hours earlier we had just promised our coach we’d stop. It was a truce broken. I let the guys know, “I’m going to kill him.”
Brian Shaw chimed in with “Kobe, why would you think that? Shaq had all
these parties and you never showed up for any of them. We invited you to
dinner on the road and you didn’t come. Shaq invited you to his wedding
and you weren’t there. Then you got married and didn’t invite any of
us. And now you are in the middle of this problem, this sensitive
situation, and now you want all of us to step up for you. We don’t even
know you.” …
Everyone was starting to calm down when I told Kobe, “If you ever say
anything like what you said to Jim Gray ever again, I will kill you.”
Kobe shrugged and said, “Whatever.”
From that day on, I was done dealing with Kobe. I was done dealing with
Jim Gray, too. What goes around, comes around. When he got fired, he
actually had the nerve to call me and ask me to help him out. What, did
you lose Kobe’s number?

Nas is a @#$%!, stepping into other grown men's beef, what a @#$%!. Also SHaq is an asshole and a 7 foot female, how is he going to gossip about his beef with Kobe and not be a @#$%!? Also I wonder if Shaq is going to mention how he stole Steve Nash's idea for a tv show and how he went behind Gilbert Arenas back and slept with his wife. Shaq is such a low life its not even funny, well unless he is wearing a dress which is something he loves to do (not kidding).
