Shaq Looks Out for Kobe’s Family…

Despite their infamous locker room quarrels, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant eventually became close pals, like Batman and Robin if they had a brief soap opera phase. Shaq continues defending Kobe’s legacy, baffled that some people still leave him out of the GOAT conversation, as if they ranked spaghetti higher than pizza. Shaq revealed he checks on Kobe’s mom monthly, ensuring she’s doing well, an endeavor he’s proud to continue just as Kobe once did for his parents.

Shaq lives just a Vegas poker chip throw away from the Bryant family and is close with Kobe’s sisters. He empathizes deeply, understanding the weight of their loss and staying supportive by calling and sending flowers to Kobe’s mom, Pamela. Picture Shaq, the gentle giant, sending flowers that rival a grown sequoia tree! It’s a genuine gesture from a man as colossal in heart as he is in stature, providing comfort to a family he dearly respects.
