, Now that he’s president-elect, you just hope that he can make the world a better place. He won fair and square. We have to give him a chance.
Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.
And if the big dog ain't me, then the house won't get guarded - period.

After winning Rookie of the Year with the Orlando Magic in 1992-93 and leading them to the 1995 Finals, O'Neal signed with the Lakers and formed a combustible partnership with Kobe Bryant that delivered three straight titles from 2000 to 2002. The feud split them: traded to Miami in 2004, he grabbed a fourth ring in 2006, then bounced through Phoenix, Cleveland, and Boston before retiring in 2011. The 2000 MVP and three-time Finals MVP left with 15 All-Star selections, a 58.2% career field goal percentage, and a Hall of Fame induction in 2016. Off the court he released a platinum rap album, became a touring DJ under the name Diesel, starred in reality shows, and settled into the analyst chair on Inside the NBA - where the mic has proven harder to pry from his hands than a rebound ever was.
