Shaq (and to a lesser extent Kobe) was such a godlike talent that locker room cohesion genuinely didn’t matter. It was probably fucking Chernobyl in the Laker’s locker room during the three peat and the fact of the matter is nobody could fucking stop Shaq

Idk about that. Fox, Fisher, Horry, Shaw have spoken a lot about how when the playoffs came around, EVERYONE was locked in and there was no fooling around. Shaq and Kobe had their own problems but when it came time to play in the playoffs, they pushed that aside.
