It was just a matter of time that the Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant situation would be brought back up now that Shaq is retired from the game. Someone would bring it up or Shaq would.

So now a new book is coming out called “Shaq Uncut: My Story” written by Shaq and Hall Of Fame writer Jackie MacMullan and Shaq puts Kobe on full blast in the book.

I have been watching ESPN and listening to Stephen A. Smith on 710 ESPN in L.A. and little parts of the book was talked about. One part was Shaq and ex Laker Brian Shaw had problems with Kobe not hanging with the fellas more and not coming to parties when invited etc.

Also the situation of Kobe’s problems in Colorado will be talked about in the book and who supported who and so on. For sports fans this should be a good book to read. Mainly because Jackie MacMullan is a excellent writer. That has followed the NBA for twenty five years. And like I said, she is a Hall Of Famer for her writing on the sport of basketball.

Bottom line for me is Shaq and Kobe were maybe the best one and two tandem in the ever in th NBA, but their personality was as diffent as night and day. Kobe was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. A child of a NBA player (Joe “Butterbean” Bryant-current head coach o the WNBA’s L.A. Sparks). And Shaq a child of two hard working parents. His dad a military father.

But some how they put ther personalities aside to win three NBA titles. Anyway the book comes out on Nov 15th. Again it is called “Shaq Uncut: My Story” it should be a very good book.   Gordon Curvey
