Phil Jackson decides to revive the feud with Shaq
Wow. I guess Phil Jackson wasn’t content to let the Kobe/Shaq feud finally die. It’s been pretty much non-existent for a year or more. Most people have moved on with their lives. Kobe is playing well in L.A. Shaq won a title with Miami. It was done.
But now Phil has fired a shot at O’Neal:
“He’s the one guy that didn’t really like to work,” said the coach who boasts nine NBA championship rings. “I know Pat [Riley] got him working here in Miami. We had a hard time getting him to work. All the other players — Michael [Jordan], Scottie [Pippen], Dennis Rodman, all those guys that we had, Horace Grant, they’re all hard-working practice and personal work players.”
He even poked at Dwyane Wade:
“He travels on that spin move. He picks up that pivot foot … everybody knows it. Dwyane Wade can cover so much ground when he makes that move. As you know, he can go 20 feet with that spin move and get to the basket.”
I’m not sure if this will revive the Kobe/Shaq feud, but it certainly has started a new feud.
