Hrm, you're right, I mean the Lakers only win a championship one out of every four years, so odds are he's fuc... err wait?
I'm confused by this comment. Kobe hasn't wona title since Shaq left but Shaq won a title in Miami with a worse team than what he had in LA.
He could show he's young and reply or he could take the high road. I understand you hate the guy, but I have started flame wars on forums many times, and I will tell you, if you call someone out, their manhood is challenged, now consider you are in the business where compeition is your life?
Kobe aired Shaq's dirty laundry to the world when he told police "he didn't understand why he was being arressted, Shaq used to do this all the time, he just paid the girls off." Was that the high road? Shaq has taken th ehigh road on this situation for years. Kobe has taken a beating behind the scenes amongst the Hip=Hop scene for years, yet I don't remeber Shaq saying much directly about it at all.
All Kobe would need to say to set this fire is "Huh? Shaq was on the Celtics? I never saw him hit the court, I guess they just played their younger (Or good, or Guys who could beat us, etc...) players."
Well let's see, the year you get traded you call the owner of the Lakers "one of the worst sports owners" 2 years after that you call out the entire organization for how you were treated while making 28 million dollars a year, given permission to skip practice and won three championships for being incompetent, and this year you call out the current superstar and one of the best centers to play the game, yeah, I am pretty sure Kareem isn't happy with the comments.
He was bitter and his ego wa shurt. He brougt LA 3 championships and was then shown the door in favor of Kobe. I don;t disagree he handled it in a poor way, but LA didn't treat him very well after delivering the 3 titles. For reference, Shaq's championship numbers vs. Kobe's during the championship runs...

Shocking that Shaq felt like LA was being disloyal to him???
Shaq has a huge mouth, and he isn't always funny. He isn't th eplayer he was 10 years ago and he is lazy.
It doesn't change the fact that his rap was funny as hell and there was a lot of truth in it. "Kobe can't do without me!!!".
