Why does everyone say Kobe's rings belong to Shaq?

Question

True, Kobe couldn't have won those 3 titles without Shaq and the rest of the supporting team. But even Shaq will say that he couldn't have done it without Kobe either. So why are people still debating about this?

Answer 1

because shaq got the lakers 3 titles in shaqs first year with lakers he scored 26.2 ppg. kobe scored 7.6 ppg

Answer 2

it literally does not belong to shaq, the reason they say this is because shaq was their best player when the lakers were winning championships. without shaq, the lakers would be just like the celtics, except they wouldnt have won 1 recently.

the spurs wouldve owned the 2000's.

Answer 3

because they are haters  

Answer 4

a lot of the answers that just say kobe will not get a ring w/o shaq failed to read the additional details to the question that said shaq can't get a ring without wade and why did shaq not get a ring with the suns who are stacked.

which is true, Shaq never got a ring in Orlando until he went to the Lakers and met Kobe. Shaq also got a ring with Dwayne Wade. Its almost seems like the haters forget that Dwayne Wade is an all-star and as if Shaq was on the Heat who had nobody.  Now that shaq is on the suns, why couldn't he get a ring with 2 time mvp nash?

Now Shaq is on the most stacked team he's ever been with. The Suns have better players as a team now than the times he was on the Lakers and the Heat.

Answer 5

Same reason they say Jordan's rings belong to pippen.

Answer 6

that isn't actually true because kobe would've never gotten the rings without shaq and shaq wouldve never gotten his rings without kobe...b-ball is a team sport

Answer 7

Haters never will believe but Kobe will win a title without SHAQ

SHAQ never won a title by himself he had help from others.

Quit hating

Im a Spurs fan

Answer 8

shaq got 1 ring without kobe. Kobe has 0 without shaq. thats my reason
