Shaq-Kobe Dynamic Duo
The dynamic duo played together for the Los Angeles Lakers from 1996 until 2004.
The interview talked about how Kobe Bryant wanted to be part of the Chicago Bulls because of Shaq.
The pair dominated the court as nobody has ever seen on a basketball court, but their run was cut short because of their reported feud.
On the court, everybody knew that they were more than just teammates despite firing jabs at each other during media interviews after the game.
However, Shaq admitted that his ego got in the way of Kobe s ego. He later said that It was his fault that his and Kobe s run didn t last long.

Lahore Ki Saqafati Tareekh.
It was an honour he wanted to bestow upon me. I had never met him, though. Before I could send a note of compliance, he sent me a copy of his book,
Trek to Pakistan. I was especially delighted that he had sent it to me via Pakistan Post which was more economical than the illegal couriers. It still is.
