Kobe basically said Shaq is better than me, he just didn’t work as hard. No WAY is that an insult! Max is absolutely right
@Tod Wilkinson you definitely tripping
@Tod Wilkinson You don’t make any sense Shaq was fat and lazy
Max is an idiot that’s just taking words literally without context. Kobe is saying the same thing he said back when they hated each other, so guess what the atmosphere is gonna be now that he’s saying these things about Shaq?
*Molly back at it again with the ad-libs in the background*
Actually, i cant even see the original post. What’s it about?
Stop hating on Molly she is wonderful person and cashing check
Welcome back molly.
Goat Man Goat Man Better than a bunch of people who are obviously secretly in love with her talking about her non stop.
Dam I thought O girl was going to be off the show for a while ????
How come. What did she do?
R BR cause molly is annoying is it’s already known around the fans that we all find her annoying and find her to be horrible at the moderating job. Her annoyance heavily outweighs her looks.
If Molly didnt marry Jalen id have a feeling she would of been let go from this position a while ago…
ESPN would’ve pulled a cari champion if she wasn’t married
that’s stupid assumption. She has a contract and even though she’s very annoying AF she still very minor in the grand scheme…if anything Lavar Ball gave her job security.
Why you Hating on Molly she is not their to be very talkative she is there to look pretty and keep Steve and Max from getting out of control
@duce Kong I’m not sure Molly is White bro.
Jalen is almost as bad sometimes.
“Biggest guy who walks in a room”
Yao Ming walks in…
True but Shaq played like he was bigger
Tallest is not bigger, Yao was flimsy niggas was not afraid to go at him. Shaq was bigger not even close
There is a big difference between biggest and tallest, the giraffe is most definitely not the biggest land animal
Yao is only taller but shaq has more power and weight
LBJ23 Yao was really good
Shaq said the same. It was his raw ability. Shaq knows he wasn’t a hard worker, but game time he was ready to go. No news here folks move along…
First take needs a hype man instead of molly.
Ugh. I hope this doesn’t turn into a beef. I’m done seeing Kobe and Shaq beefin’
Deon Nelson Shaq was big mans could drop 40 in his sleep if he had Kobe mentality
Kobe needs to shut the fuck up. He already snitched to the cops about Shaq cheating on his wife. When it had nothing to do with him.
They’re beef been over long time ago they’re to old to even want to beef
Danyal Kazmi check stats throughout finals. Shaq was able to dominate with horrible centres coming out of the East. Check out how Kobe dominates the tougher West. They were both unbelievable and needed each other at the time. But fact of the matter is Kobe was more successful without Shaq than Shaq without Kobe
@Danyal Kazmi true but look at what centers Shaq was facing in the finals. Phil smart, he was not going to let Kobe shoot all day. Feed that shit to Shaq against them trash ass centers. But look at those stats during the western conference playoffs, those stats look much closer.
I thought Molly was gone for good.
Molly: exist
The universe: visible irritation
?
Is that klay
I don’t get the hate honestly
“Welcome back Molly” said nobody ever
Nobody ….. nobody at all!
???
so funny
Kobe ! … (shoots crumpled up paper ball) ?
and… missed!
Off the side of the kan ?
I miss those days when the Center dominated the paint , now you just find them waiting behind the 3 point line.
Shaq was too unstoppable so they had to change the rules
Believe or not, it’s probably because that’s how players become more skilled and efficient. Guys like Shaq and other traditional bigs are very bad at defending stretch players and the fact that they themselves can’t stretch the floor makes them an offensive liability. We love to glorify players like Shaq but shit on players like Ben Simmons and Giannis for their lack of a jumpshot.
Mike Mitch it all ended when Tim Duncan left the league
@Shadownesia that’s a good point. It’s kind of a double standard.
@Shadownesia its different because ben simmons isn’t a freak of nature how just gets to the paint whenever he wants like giannis and shaq and no one shits on giannis for not having a jumpshot he was just the MVP
MAX: MY NAME IS MAX
STEPHEN A: YOU’RE WRONG AND HERE’S WHY….
Ugh Molly ,Where did Roz go =/.
Roz Who
You should call this show “Everyone hates Molly”
Because it’s widely agreed at this point from the fans. Just give her her own show so she can fail in peace or send her somewhere else
Molly Should Be On Pardon The Interruption” Because That’s All She Does!?✔?????♂️??♂️??♂️??♂️
So shaq was a monster, got 4 rings , 3 finals MVP, and was out of shape. Hell that’s the life!!! Not an insult IMO
They should hire Kobe as a TNT analyst to analyze games with Shaq.
if only!
Kobe doesn’t have the personality to be on that show..I would like to see Kobe call games that’s where he would be great.
Shaq put those big macs to great use by bulldozing defenders in the paint.
haha, Shaq be eatin’ those big macs lol!
Lmaooooo
@JohnnyL REACTS underdog creates a meme of shaq double fisting big macs lol
