I wouldn't look too, much into Shaq's comments. He loves to hype up his X-Mas day matches, just like he did last year when Lakers played the Rockets. The end result was Yao Ming outplaying him in the game and leading the Rockets to a victory. I think Shaq and Kobe are going to have nervous jitters in the first 10 minutes or so. The fans will give Shaq a standing ovation and it will be an emotional night for the Big Fella. For every fan of Kobe in Lakerland, there is a fan for Shaq and a lot of fans still cannot believe Shaq is on a different team. I'm more interested in the Kobe and Wade match-up than the Shaq and Kobe one. There's going to be few moments when Shaq and Kobe are even next to each other on the court.

They're just trying to generate more press before the game. Let Shaq talk, we'll find out who the real winner is after we see the boxscore.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Real Deal:</div><div class="quote_post">If I had a way to put the footage on my computer, I'd show you that Michael Olowokandi, Brent Barry, Michael Jordan, Erick Dampier, and Austin Croshere have all dunked on Shaq...and he contested them....and that's just out of the tapes that I have. If Kobe can throw it down over Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Kevin Garnett, Rik Smits and...hey...Michael Olowokandi, then Shaq will be added to that list in due time, whether it's Christmas Day or St. Patricks Day. If Shaq wants to stop him, he'll use his body...but he'll be tossed for doing it if it's uncalled for, and Kobe won't lose his composure. Plus, let's not forget that Kobe isn't a stick anymore, either...so a little bump by Shaq won't phase him (maybe a huge one, but Shaq isn't that stupid...I don't think). Also, everyone needs to watch the language and personal attacks in this thread. It can get out of hand very quickly, and lead to me eventually closing the thread.</div> You forgot that Sick dunk over Yao.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> If Kobe can posterize Yao, Shaq should be a breeze for him </div> Shaq is harder to dunk due to his massive size, strength and height wheras Yao only has height and is a stick otherwise.
lol, this thread is turning into "will kobe dunk on shaq" thread. But shaqs shaq, he says weird things. I dont think you'll expect him to say im sorry and i accept your apology. that just doesnt seem shaq like.
Kobe is definetly going to dunk on shaq...if he can do a windmill over two 7 footers (KG and Nestarovic) he can easily dunk on shaq
I don't care what happens in the game... we're riding a 9 game win streak and you guys just got whipped by Memphis. Either way whoever dunks on who, it all boils down to the W... if Shaq gets posterized and we get the win... I'll take and i'm sure Shaq will too. Not sure what Kobe wants more though, the W or to embarass Shaq in every way possible.

No I find it very hard that Shaq doesnt want to embarrass Kobe. I mean look at the stuff hes been saying. But if Kobe had said something oh the "Rapist" talked again lets tarnish his image a little more. Hypocrites. :-o
i was watching NBA fastbreak on ESPN and kobe responded to shaqs comment by talking about how they used to go at it during practice alot and how its nothing new but now everyone can watch on christmas
I really hate BSPN..they are saying Kobe needs to share the ball more..wtf is he averaging this year..something like 7 assists...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kobe 8 Ball:</div><div class="quote_post">I really hate BSPN..they are saying Kobe needs to share the ball more..wtf is he averaging this year..something like 7 assists...</div> Whoa, the truth hurts huh? I'm so sick of Kobe right now. He's averaging career highs in rebounds and assists...what's his problem? He seriously needs to crash the boards more and play more at the four...and the point, but his defense is horrible in the paint! Why can't he stop guys like Tim Duncan? Kevin Garnett? Shaq? He needs to just get big and body them away from the hoop...come on, Kobe. And now he's involved with all of these off-court issues as well! Not only has he mouthed off to every single "important" player in the league, but now I hear there's a HUGE chance he's going to be charged for damage to a brick wall.
What a moronic comment and by the way last time I checked corvettes can drive around brick walls cant they?
it will be funny when Kobe dunks on Shaq for a clutch play... and Shaq misses a layup for a potential game winner =D
