Why did Kobe say what O 'Neal did?

Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal, one of the best duo in NBA history, actually have a good chance to get rid of one of them. The past of the two men winning the first three consecutive championships hand in hand did not make the gap between them fall, especially after Kobe's words, the separation of the two became inevitable. So, the question is, why did Kobe say what O 'Neal did? Ok, please listen to me and tell me in detail.

Why did Cole say what O 'Neill did?

In 2003, Kobe went to Eagle County, Denver for treatment, but what Kobe didn't expect was that the biggest trouble in his career came. A waitress threw herself at him, which made Kobe feel that his charm value was unstoppable. They fought happily in the room, but afterwards, the waitress called the police and Kobe was arrested. Bryant had to come to Denver again to surrender himself, and only left temporarily after paying $25,000 bail. That year, Kobe also began a tiring life of running all over the field.

After the incident, Kobe's image was greatly hit, and even Kobe was abandoned by many fans. At this time, the 25-year-old Kobe Bryant is somewhat isolated, and he expects his teammates to stand up like Vanessa. But Kobe was disappointed, and none of the Lakers teammates stood up to support or support Kobe, but this can't be blamed on the Lakers teammates. When talking about this matter many years later, Brian Shaw, a teammate of Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal, said that Kobe didn't tell us anything, and we didn't know the truth at all. How can we support each other?

However, young Kobe doesn't think that he is not doing well. On the contrary, because there is no support, Kobe may think that Lakers teammates such as O 'Neal are watching their own jokes. In an interview, Kobe broke out, and he said in an understatement that many NBA players have experienced such a thing. For example, O 'Neill once did it, but O 'Neill got it with money.

Kobe's remarks also directly angered O 'Neill, who is not a vegetarian. Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal started at the same level in the Lakers, and even veterans like Payton and Malone had to stand firm. In fact, some media believe that the contradiction between Kobe Bryant and Malone was not caused by Malone flirting with Vanessa, but Malone chose to stand on O 'Neill's side.

I have to say that Kobe was really confused at that time, and his behavior hurt people who liked him. His trick of dragging O 'Neill into the water as a shield was terrible, and it was also because of this sentence that Kobe completely hurt O 'Neill, which also made the two sides part ways in 2004, and the best duo in history missed the "OK combination".
