Shaq mentioned at one point that despite differences, the two were still together as part of the NBA. In his interview with the TheCoachesNetwork Podcast, he said, “I was playing with a younger version of myself. Somebody that had the same mentality. A lot of times guys worry about titles instead of worrying about certain things. We were both about whose team it is, who’s the best player on the team? We had a job to do… [indiscernible] won three championships in a row.”
