Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal gets 100% real how Kobe Bryant refused to be his 'Alfred'

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are currently in the opening stages of a highly important offseason for the future of the franchise that's already seen the team part ways with its entire coaching staff. The Lakers are coming off of a crushing Game 5 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, marking the second straight season that James and his teammates came up short against Nikola Jokic and company. When James and Anthony Davis teamed up in Los Angeles back in the summer of 2019, many fans likened the duo to the organization's previous partnership of Shaquille O'Neal and the late Kobe Bryant, who won three championships together during the early 2000s.
