Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant made up one of the NBA's greatest all-time duos on the court, even if they didn't always get along off of it. O'Neal and Bryant's tension during their playing days is well-documented,

After Bleacher Report unveiled its all-time NBA player rankings, which had Bryant at No. 11, Shaq took issue with the publication's exclusion of his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate outside of the top 10. Honestly? I can see both sides here:

Bryant ranks fourth in all-time NBA scoring (33,643 points) and his “ Mamba Mentality ” work ethic is still cited as a major influence on current athletes. He spent the first eight years of his career as Lakers teammates with O’Neal, with L.A. winning three NBA titles during that span.
