Generally speaking, the "OK" combination of Kobe and O'Neal is a golden combination! Fortunately, O'Neal is 7 years older than Kobe. If he were the same age, he might be "incompatible".

Kobe and O'Neal brought three consecutive championships to the Lakers together. At that time, O'Neal would be the leader of the Lakers, and "Peter Pan" Kobe could only be second in command! But an "ambitious" man like Kobe wants to get ahead every moment!

Kobe is the kind of person whose star shines brightly and whose ambition is exposed as soon as he debuts! But the 19-year-old was with the 26-year-old O'Neal. According to NBA locker room rules, it was normal for Kobe to be "greeted" by O'Neal with trash talk. However, Kobe's choice during the training game was to talk back and yell at each other!

So the next scene directly showed the interviews between the parties, Kobe and O'Neal, about the matter: The two talked trash at each other, which turned into a physical conflict! Apparently the conflict was quickly broken up by teammates.

The incident was made public many years after O'Neal left the Lakers. Both O'Neal and Kobe admitted the matter generously. Naturally, "we met over a jug of wine, and many things in the past were laughed at!" One of the OK combinations So it is a golden combination, and the age gap is the key

When O'Neal and Kobe cooperated, they were really a very "lucky" combination! Add the 26-year-old O'Neal and meet the 26-year-old Kobe. It is estimated that the cooperation between the two will not be so good! Because there is only one basketball, but it is difficult for two superstars to be the boss!

It is precisely because of the age gap between the two that O'Neal asked Kobe to assist him in his golden age! Wait until Kobe grows up and send O'Neal away. Think about it, Kobe and O'Neal should both thank each other and God for allowing them to meet at the most suitable time! In that era, Kobe could not do without the strong support of the inside pillars

It was only after O'Neal left the Lakers that Kobe truly realized how important an inside giant is! After several years of wasted time, Kobe clearly proposed to the management to introduce a powerful big man! It wasn't until the arrival of Pau Gasol that Kobe realized his dream of leading the team to win the championship!

Perhaps it was this later experience that made Kobe re-examine his previous cooperation with the Sharks! And O'Neal, who has a lively personality, is originally an optimist, so the two got back together!
