Stop implying that Shaq came to LA because of KobeFlorida has no state taxes so i doubt money was a issue, plus shaq said "they have a young team" imo implying to kobe who was already being compared to mj at the time
Kobe "was being compared to a young MJ at the time" yet he went 13th overall and LA got him for Vlade. Folks thought he could be special of course, but nobody imagined just how good with the exception of probably Jerry West
Shaq came to LA because the city of Orlando soured him with the way they treated him and Shaq wanted to become an icon. Movies, music, big stage, etc. Hollywood offered him all that more than Orlando could
This. Kobe wasn't looked at as a sure thing coming outta HS like LeBron. HS players wasn't getting that type until the 2000's.
Not a joke, I really never knew that![]()
Type of stuff you keep to yourself.
