Shaquille O’Neal, who took $100 million to leave Kobe Bryant, was hit with a cruel roast on his WWE appearance

Shaquille O’Neal was brutally roasted when he made a guest appearance on WWE Raw involving Kobe Bryant, someone he once feuded with.

The two played together for the Lakers from 1996 to 2004 and won three titles together from 2000 to 2003.

They were unstoppable. Shaq was in the prime of his career, dominating the center position like no one had ever seen him before.

Kobe was an up-and-coming star, but his potential seemed limitless. While playing with Shaq, he proved that he was a true star, averaging over 20 points per game once he started his career.

He was an integral part of the Lakers’ title runs, but was always considered second fiddle to Shaq at the time. Shaquille O’Neal was the winner of MVP and final MVP, he was clearly the best. However, that dynamic went awry a bit on the Lakers last year, and things went downhill.

Shaquille O’Neal was trolled with a Kobe Bryant roast during his WWE appearance

The Lakers’ 2003-04 season was marred by controversy. Kobe had to be away from the team to face a sexual harassment case in court, and that used to make Shaq angry. He wanted Kobe to be closer and felt his case distracted the team.

On the other hand, Kobe hated Shaq’s lack of a serious work ethic and had issues with his fitness when he showed up for practice. The two reached a breaking point and the Lakers had to choose between them. They chose Kobe, and the rest is history, of course, but the feud still lingered in the memory for a long time. Shaq signed a five-year, $100 million contract with Miami.

It took an interview with the two to calm things down as they talked about everything that happened during those Lakers years, setting the record straight.

When Shaq came to WWE the host said he expected the most dominant player in NBA history, but he didn’t expect it to be Shaq, but Kobe Bryant.
