Shaq O'Neal Rips Into Kobe Bryant in Freestyle Rap at NYC Club
Tuesday June 24, 2008
 Lisa Blumenfield/Getty Images Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal took a pot-shot at his former teammate Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant as he rapped Sunday night at a New York City club. His performance was captured and posted by tmz.com. During the free-style rap, he accused Bryant of ruining his marriage before launching into how Kobe lost the NBA playoffs. He punctuates his attack with "I'm a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced." On Monday evening, Shaq told ESPN that “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." The bad blood that boiled over with Shaq's Sunday rap goes back to Bryant's rape charge in Colorado when Bryant reportedly told police that O'Neal would pay his women to keep quiet in similar situations. As Lakers, the pair won three championships together, but the simmering feud became more public and O'Neal was traded to Miami in 2004.

So, uh, just exactly why are people not raking Shaq over the coals for saying "that's like a white boy trying to be more n!gger than me"? Or flat out using that word in reference to Kobe. Is it because he's black, so the rules don't apply to him? Where's Al Sharpton now?? What Imus said pales in comparison to Shaq's rap, but because he's white he's being called a racist. Can you say Double Standard? It's ridiculous!

Bee, I completely agree with you. He is a huge fat joke. He has no one to blame for his marriage falling apart excepet for himself. He is the one that was unfaithful to his wife. You do that, then you DESERVE to get caught. His game is a joke, but for him to compare himself to ANYONE on the show time lakers is a HUGE disgrace in my eyes. He will NEVER measure up to any of those guys. I am from L.A. and now live in AZ. Everyone was so happy to have Shaq out here. I really can't stand him. Nothing but a washed up, worthless, joke in the NBA. His legacy was up when he left the Lakers. He has nothing. He is riding on others coat tails. It was the worse mistake that the Suns made by signing him. Oh well. I don't feel bad. Just goes to show that he is NOT worth the obscene amount of money people are wasting on him!

Shaq is a joke ... just like his game these days. He looked absolutely pitiful playing for the Suns this year and he needs to retire before he ruins what's left of his legacy. And then to mention Kareem? He will NEVER measure up to Kareem's legacy.

Shaq is a has been and will NEVER have the noreriety he had when he was with the Lakers. He is useless on the court now and is nothing but a piece of crap. He needs to keep his mouth shut. Just because it was PROVEN that he cheated on his wife doesn't mean he has to talk crap. Shaq is the one who cheated on his wife Kobe was doing what he was told to do by his attorneys. I just wish Shaq would quit the NBA and go play cops and robbers. Basically he needs to shut his HUGE mouth. He wasn't joking about what he said. He was serious. He needs to step up to the plate and admit that he was talking trash! He is nothing but a immature child that needs to learn enough is enough. Kobe NEVER says anything about Shaq in the press, so why does Shaq need to go off and run his mouth? Whoever said that Shaq could rap?

Honestly, is Shaq all that spectacular at playing basketball? I mean he plays close to the hoop, it's not like he's shooting three's. Rarely see him running down the court in a fast break and do a lay up or jump shot. He does the same thing. But Kobe is versatile, he can do it all.

Has anyone ever thought that Shaq lives in slow-motion? He looks like one of those chimpanzees from the movie "Project X" that got hit by the radiation.
