Video: Kobe calls Dream Master Shogun!

roslolian · Oct 5, 2009

Is this a diss to Shaq? I thought they already buried the hatchet?

IIRC, Shaq said he was the master shogun when people asked him about Dwight. He also said something about Dwight having to go through the other belts before getting to him....

Monday Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was in Houston for a two-hour workout with Olajuwon.

Olajuwon said Bryant reached out to him for help with his moves in the post.

"He gave me the biggest compliment," Olajuwon said. "(He said) You are the best (at the) mid-post and post move.

"He wanted me to show my moves to him."

Olajuwon said his style of play in the paint is really suited for a guy like Bryant.

"In my mind most of my moves for a guy (with) that agility can use it better than the big guy," Olajuwon said. "Because my moves are not really for the big guy.

"It's for the guards and small forwards. So he would benefit most on the post because of his agility.

"It was so much fun because how he picks it up. I worked with him for two hours, step by step."

Olajuwon expects Bryant to be even better than he was last season when he led the Lakers to the NBA Championship.

"Adding those moves to his game, watch out for him this year," Olajuwon said. "I understand his dedication. His desire to win and stay on top.

"That's what I respect most about him."

By the way, Olajuwon said he would never have held one-on-one sessions like this if he was still playing.

"You don't want to give them your secrets," Olajuwon said.

the following ramble is what Shaq originally said about him being the shogun of centers

"I'm not worried about guys winning dunk contests and doing stuff like that. You still have to outdo the shogun to become the shogun. When I leave, it'll be because my time is up, not because someone is outplaying me or someone has done more than me. The only one who has even done close, and I don't really consider him a center, is Mr. (Tim) Duncan. Any other center, the things that they have done, I invented."

I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall for a Dream-Kobe session.

Dream doesn't know anything that Kobe didn't already know how to do. Typically, when a guy getting up there in age (like Kobe is) starts trying to reinvent his game it means he is due for a big drop off in production. Kobe knows he is getting slower and older and he is trying to compensate. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kobe's numbers go down significantly over the next two seasons.

I have a huge amount of respect for him knowing he went to Dream to try to pick up a few new things but at his age he has mastered all the skills he can master. Don't expect Kobe to look anything but slower and older this season.

So the purpose of their meeting is that Kobe wants to learn Islam from Hakeem.
