Shaq says Kobe Bryant should be added to MJ, LeBron in GOAT debate

Shaq and Kobe Bryant have won three NBA titles with the Lakers

Shaquille O’Neal thinks that Kobe Bryant should be added to Michael Jordan and LeBron James in the GOAT debate.

“Kobe made a great point: we all look at players before us and we take a little something from them. I wanted to be mean like Patrick Ewing in the post, I wanted to run the floor like David Robinson, I wanted to dominate like Wilt Chamberlain. The only difference is Kobe was able to have a telephone number and have a relationship with these guys. The rest of us, we just had to see other people emulate other people, and steal what they had. But I’m actually glad they had a relationship”

“A lot of people always ask, ‘who’s the greatest player to in the game: Jordan? LeBron?’ I think you must respectfully add Kobe in that conversation.”
