Shaq had the best reaction to Kobe's Oscars win

Andrew Joseph | For The Win

Kobe Bryant picked up some extra hardware even in retirement on Sunday.

The five-time NBA champion took home the Academy Award for best animated short film from his role in Dear Basketball.

With that Oscars win, Bryant accomplished something that he was never able to do during his playing career: Make Shaquille O'Neal admittedly jealous.

Congrats to KOBE first Oscar that’s big bro #dearbasketball. Proud of you, Big honor for you and your family. I’m jealous lol — SHAQ (@SHAQ) March 5, 2018

Shaq took to Twitter after Kobe picked up the award and congratulated his longtime teammate on the accomplishment. Shaq, who starred in notable 1996 Oscar-snub Kazaam, will rejuvenate his acting career this year when Uncle Drew hits theaters in June. He can get that Oscars speech ready now.

NBA players joined in with Shaq to congratulate Kobe on the award.
