It's no secret that Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal had their differences during their last season together on the Los Angeles Lakers. That ended with Shaq heading out to Miami to join the Heat. Over the seasons it appeared that Shaq and Kobe made up and were all cool and the gang. But the other night footage of Shaq freestyling at a New York City club appeared online and he had some choice words about the Kobester."You know how I be/Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.../I'm a horse/Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced/He said Shaq gave a b*tch a mil/I don't do that 'cause my name's Shaquille/I love 'em, I don't leave 'em/I got a vasectomy, now I can't breed 'em."
Regardless, clubgoers enjoyed the freestyle, but now it's getting spread all over the sports world and analysts are dumbfounded. To clear things up, Shaq spoke with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith saying:
"I was freestyling. That's all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. I'm totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don't forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I'm a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was rapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don't make something out of nothing."
Whether it was malicious or all in fun, the bottom line is, Shaq isn't too shabby off the top of the head. Check the video after the jump:
1. Shaq made a fool of himself, freestyle rap is unscripted off the top of your head, Kobe must be on his mind. He should be fined by the NBA. Shaq showed how much he really ENVY Kobe, and wishes he was still in L.A. And he also wishes he was still with his wife, trying to blame Kobe instead of himself.
