What Shaquille O'Neal hated most being said about him during this period?
Simply six words:
"Three consecutive championships thanks to Kobe!"
That was definitely like stabbing him right in the heart...
Say it a few more times, and he'd probably get pissed off enough to have a stroke.
Sure enough, the next day upon arriving in Indiana, the "Shark" went berserk, openly blasting Su Wan for being able to win the regular season MVP just because he was barely 20 years old: "Everyone wants to witness the birth of history, but he really doesn't deserve it!"
Su Wan could be sure, at that moment, Shaquille O'Neal was definitely Dallas's favorite player, even more so than Dirk Nowitzki.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder on the eve of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Kobe stepped in at this time, "That's Shaquille for you, he always feels he's the best, but in fact, his time has long passed!"
