Kobe & Shaq Embrace <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Before the game, they were the only two players not to greet each other. However, they ran into each other outside the interview room. Bryant said, "What's up, big fella?" and O'Neal reciprocated. Kobe kept going, expecting no more than a perfunctory greeting, but Shaq reached out and patted him on the back. "It was a pretty warm moment," said Roland Lazenby, one of Bryant's biographers, who was there. "I was surprised by it." Peace, it's wonderful, even if it lasts only a week or two.</div> Source Finally some maturity by both these guys. Hopefully they can forgive each other and move on and realize how great they were together.
Maturity on both parts. That is great, I agree with Shape..maybe they can move on and respect one another as time goes by.
Oh there is no doubt in my mind there is respect for the on court abilitys from both sides, working on the of court respect is key. As time goes by things change, attitudes,hate, pain all fades for the most part. I think not only will these two start moving on, but it could be a blessing for this relationship in disguise(different teams). They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and time heals all wounds. They will be seeing each other numberous times a year for years to come, they have to realize they may never be best friends, but life is too short to hold petty grudges. What about when Shaquille retires and he comes back to the Purple And Gold?
Wow, I'm surprised ESPN didn't report this yet Great to hear but it's still on the low-down....ESPN doesn't like feel-good stories considering Kobe-Shaq I guess. After all, what would "Screaming" A. Smith say about this one?
It's great to see Shaq' and Kobe putting all of their differences aside and finally talk to each other. Maybe they can start being friends again. I thought that the media would be all over this story.

The media would rather see you fall than get up. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Maybe they can start being friends again.</div> Doubt they'll be <u>friends</u> but i'm sure they respect each other.
