6 stories that prove there will never be another Kobe Bryant

Bonus:

Shaq and Kobe won three championships together

Shaq and Kobe are probably the best one-two punch in the history of NBA. The Lakers flourished when they were in the league and they brought home three championships together. The duo destroyed opponents night-in and night-out, and the Lakers were a force to reckon with.

This is what Shaq, who was Kobe's longtime teammate, had to say about Bryant and his work ethic in the former's book titled "Shaq Uncut: My Story"

"Kobe is a scientific dawg," O'Neal wrote. "He works out every day, practices every day. Most of the other stars are just dawgs, not scientific dawgs. Kobe will always have the edge because of his range and killer instinct. LeBron has the killer instinct, but he can't shoot like Kobe can."

"Sometimes he'd be working on his moves without the ball," O'Neal wrote. "You'd walk in there and he'd be cutting and grunting and motioning like he was dribbling and shooting -- except there was no ball. I thought it was weird, but I'm pretty sure it helped him."
