Pearlman Jeff - Three - Ring Circus Kobe Shaq Phil And The Crazy Years Of The Lakers Dynasty - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The story of the Lakers dynasty from 1996 through 2004, when Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O Neal combined and collided to help bring the Lakers three straight championships and restore the franchise as a powerhouse In the history of modern sport there have never been two high - level teammates who loathed each other the way Shaquille O Neal loathed Kobe Bryant and Kobe Bryant loathed Shaquille O Neal. From public sniping and sparring to physical altercations and the repeated threats of trade it was warfare. And yet despite eight years of infighting and hostility by turns mediated and encouraged by coach Phil Jackson the Shaq - Kobe duo resulted in one of the greatest dynasties in NB a history. Together the two led the Lakers to three straight championships and returned glory and excitement to Los Angeles. In the tradition of Jeff Pearlman's bestsellers Showtime Boys Will Be Boys and The Bad Guys Won Three - Ring Circus is a rollicking deep dive into one of sports most fraught yet successful pairings.
