I sure like Shaq better, but I am no insider.

He seems a whole lot less full of himself.

I read somewhere that before Shaq's mother gave birth to him, she had an African name selected, but was overcome by how handsome he was after his arrival. She looked up the word for "handsome" in the same African dialect as her original idea, and that word of course was "Shaquille."

Kobe's parents literally named him after a steak entree they saw in a Japanese restaurant.

Shaq is pretty ugly, and Kobe steak is delicious.

Advantage: Kobe
 
Kobe. Yeah, I said it.

Shaq's bitterman routine is so, so aggy.
 
Kobe and it isn't close.
Kobe will give you 110% EVERY game. Not like the Big Toe Jam who likes to take games off.
 
as a basketball player or as a person? As a person, it ain't even close. It's Shaq Shaq Shaq. Plus, he is funny as hell. See below.

His Curb Your Enthusiasm cameo is hilarious. Scattergories. Peanut Butter is dairy.

ESPN Scrabble commerical: Shaqtastic. How did you get so many Q's? Don't worry about it. My turn again. what do you know... Shaqtus.

And the dude is a quote machine:

"LSU stands for Loves Shaq University"

"They know what the Diesel is coming to do. Period. P-U-R-E-U-D. Period."

"One time I put up 40, 50 points dunking on Shawn Bradley. After the game he brought his family over. He was like, "This is my wife. She wants to take a picture." I'm like, "Nice to meet you." I smile into the camera, take the picture, and then feel guilty about dunking on him so many times."

When asked about his relationship with Kobe Bryant:
"I'm a married man. A married man doesn't want to have a relationship with another man. So stop asking me about it ... OKAY?"

"I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok."

"Utah had beaten us in the playoffs the year before, and my knee was screwed up, so Greg Ostertag was scoring, blocking a couple of my shots. I guess it gave him confidence. Lord knows, after seeing his game, he needs it. I went to talk to him after a practice and let him know he needs to just play and not talk. I said, "Man, you need to watch what you say," And he was like, "**** you, watch what you say." So I was like, "Oh, you bad now?" I wasn't even mad, it was like a reflex. My openhanded right came up and smacked him upside his crewcut head. He went down, fetal position, whining, "My contact lenses, my contact lenses!" If Ostertag had known I'd taken Tae-Bo with Billy Blanks, he wouldn't have said that."

When asked how he would defend himself:
"I wouldn't. I would just go home. I'd fake an injury or something."

On returning from a trip to Europe:
REPORTER: Shaq, did you visit the Parthenon?
SHAQ: I don't know. I can't really remember the names of the clubs that we went to.
 
As a person, Shaq in a landslide. Bad things need to come Kobe's way and not a day too soon.

Who is a better player? Kobe.
 
I don't think Shaq craves attention, imo, Kobe tries way too hard to be cool.

Shaq as a person and in their prime, he was the better player.

Kobe is about as low rent as they come...If not for his money, he would probably be divorced and sitting in cell somewhere.

Shaq seems like the nicer guy but he seems lazy (he got too fat). Kobe works his butt off. I respect Kobe more but probably like Shaq more.
 
in reference to Ostertag: "I guess it gave him confidence. Lord knows, after seeing his game, he needs it."

To me, that is funniest part of that quote.
 
Kobe is a steak that gets cut with precision.

Shaq Fu is the knife that will cut you with precision. Forget Tony Danza, he's the boss.
