During Kobe's memorial, Shaq told a story that broke up the entire crowd. He was talking about the day Kobe earned Shaq's respect.
Shaq said the guys on the team came to him one day, complaining that Kobe wasn't passing the ball. Shaq said he'd talk to him. "Kobe, there's no I in team," Shaq said.
"I know," Kobe said, 'but there's a ME in that m*****-f*****."
Shaq said he went back to Rick Fox and Big Shot Bob and told them, "You'd better get the rebound. He's not passing."
The laughter erupted in Staples and it was clear at that very moment they were going to be able to move on.
