Shaq and Kobe
Shaq shared his feelings over the exclusion of Kobe Bryant in ‘Top 10 NBA players of all time’ list posted by playmaker. Playmaker is a leading sports and entertainment media platform.
The list posted by the playmaker has LeBron James in the top spot. He is followed by Michael Jordan and Steph Curry, to sum up the Top 3. The 4th and 5th player on the list are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq even mentioned in his post that he is happy with the No. 5 spot, but his friend Kobe should have been included in the list.
The latter 5 on the list were, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kevin Durant, and Larry Bird respectively. Shaq took his discomfort to his official Instagram page and posted the picture of the list.
He added a caption, “y’all agree with this, I don’t they missing main man KOBE what yall think. still love you @playmaker. ill take number five.”
After Shaq shared his discomfort, playmaker’s official handle replied on his post. They dropped a comment, “Appreciate the love Big Aristotle! Kobe definitely was tough to leave out. Definitely one of the best scorers ever & a great defender but hard to leave anyone else on the list off.”
Meanwhile, the music artist ‘Fat Papi’ also commented on Shaq’s post. He said, “It’s got you and Mike in the wrong place on top of no Kobe and no iverson is crazy. Hell noooo this list is out of order”
The list was found to be highly rejected by the NBA fans. They believed that the Top 3 must have Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. A few years earlier, Shaw got upset from NBA player Ryan Hollins for choosing LeBron over ML and Bryant.
“What about Michael and Kobe? You are just gonna pass Kobe up like that?”. Shaq added, “Would you mind me if I walked out of the show?”
