Fifteen years after they were last Lakers teammates, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal are still taking digs at one another.

Bryant, who won three NBA championships with Shaq and two without him, recently said he’d have more than double that number of titles if the center stayed in shape.

“I wish he was in the gym. I would’ve had f—ing 12 rings,” Bryant said. “My God, yeah. Wouldn’t even be close.”

That was part of Bryant’s response to a question during an interview with Valuetainment founder Patrick Bet-David, who asked who O’Neal would be if he had Bryant’s work ethic.

“He’d be the greatest of all time,” Bryant said. “He’d be the first to tell you that, for sure. This guy was a force like I have never seen. It was crazy. Generally guys at that size are a little timid and they don’t want to be tall, they don’t want to be big. Man, this dude, he did not care. He was mean, he was nasty, he was competitive, he was vindictive.”

Bryant added that he tells O’Neal all the time what they could’ve accomplished “if your lazy ass was in shape.”

Still, the outspoken O’Neal responded on Instagram.

“U woulda had twelve if u passed the ball more especially in the finals against the pistons #facts,” Shaq wrote. “You don’t get statues by not working hard.”

There’s a statue of Shaq outside Staples Center.

Bryant said there likely would’ve been less feuding between he and O’Neal if his co-star had the same level of commitment that he did. A lot of their contention, Bryant said, came from Shaq complaining about Kobe not throwing him the ball — as Shaq mentioned in his Instagram retort.

At one point that led to a fistfight between the two, which Bryant’s teammates thought he was crazy for.

“After that day they told me, ‘OK, Kobe, you’re certifiable,'” Bryant said.

Bryant was cocky enough as an 18-year-old rookie that during a game in Phoenix his first year in the NBA, he says he stopped passing Shaq the ball in post-ups because Shaq kept getting fouled and proceeded to miss a bunch of free throws. So Bryant kept shooting, despite Shaq’s repeated requests to get the ball.

“Man, f–k that, get it off the rebound if I miss, bro,” Bryant says he told Shaq. “Eighteen years old, and I must’ve been out of my damn mind.”
