    ...why the hell Laker fan is booing Shaq every time he touches the ball. I don't care about his history with Kobe. I don't care if he elbowed every player on that current roster in the face. The man won 3 championships for that franchise. That is mind boggling that they are booing him.

    I went to the January game vs Orlando, and I didn't boo him. I cheered for him. I welcomed him back.

    Quit being sarcastic. Cabbage meant to say "Shaquille dribbled the shot clock out for five years in LA" not "he won them 3 rings." please.

    Unbelievable. No offense to any here... hell, forget I said that... you LA fans who are booing Shaq are the scum at the bottom of a dirty toilet. Did the Dream get booed when he returned to Houston, the short time he was in Toronto? I think not.

    I'll give LA fans this... they fill their arena and can make some noise. Don't know if the noise is worth hearing, but it's something.

    Well to be fair, the Dream never demanded a trade. Still kinda weird to boo the fat man though.

    Hasn't Shaq been on record saying some not-nice things about the Lakers in general, Dr. Buss in particular, and Kobe in boatloads? I think he's laying in his own bed here a bit.

    Anyone who boos Shaq is not a true Laker fan. That man has done more for the Lakers than Kobe ever has, or ever will.

    Laker Fan has sooooo much class....They won with Shaq. I do not see them winning a championship with Kobe alone. They should have sucked it up and kept that team together. They could have won at least one or two more championships......

    Stupid Stupid....now booing Shaquille-ridiculous.

    Well, I hope Lakers fans are happy with Kobe, because they won't sniff another championship during his tenure.

    Booing Shaq is very telling about Laker fan in general, they're more into 'glamour' and drama that Kobe brings them than winning...nuff said.

    Note to Lakers fans: please mail those three rings Shaq got you to his Miami residence...

    Shaq said Lakers's management, and as an organization, has no class. So what's wrong to boo him?

    They booed him a little, it was just a few people. But they booed Gary Payton more for this incident with Lamar a few weeks ago. Laker fans should never boo Shaq!

    I really don't think Kobe forced that trade, that is a myth people like to use to throw Kobe under the buss. If they Lakers were to keep both of them, they both had to be paid 2 of the largest long term contracts in the history of the NBA. The Lakers chose to keep the younger/healthier of the two to make their long term committment to, so keeping Kobe was a better investment.

    Anyone see Shaq and Kobe hug and talk before the game? I thought that was cool of Shaq to go over there and do that, very cool. I think they never really hated each other, it all went down when Kobe told the cops that shaq paid off women, when he was getting questioned about his rape trial. That was weak by Kobe, but I think that was the only reason Shaq had a real problem with him.

    On another note, the lakers are looking surprisingly good right now. Looking like a playoff team.

    Kobe has never won a championship without Shaq. Keep in mind, also, Shaq has never won a championship without Kobe.

    Now we great Rockets fans who insulting our players in every win or loss, calling heads of our coach, advocating trades any random players' a$$ with any given garbage out there in almost every game thread, get to decide who the true Lakers fans are, and what they are supposed to do?
