Shaq-Kobe Revisited

First things first, credit goes to ESPN's always excellent TrueHoop Blog and Henry Abbott for coming up with this revelation.

Watch this NBA "Where Amazing Happens" commercial of the famed Kobe-Shaq one-hand baseline alleyoop again from the 2000 Western Conference Finals.



Not the pass, or the dunk. But Shaq's complete and total stiffjob of Kobe after the play. Shaq ignores Kobe's hand, extended out for a high five, and even snubs him when Kobe grabs his forearm.

The Big Fraud. Always a real class act!

Also, great point by my buddy Evan Cohen at ESPN 760: Why would the Magic allow Shaq into the building last night? After tearing into Dwight Howard and calling Stan Van Gundy a "master of panic?" There's no chance I'd allow Shaq to gain entry to the Magic Kingdom, let alone Amway Arena.
