They can't handle the fact that Shaq was the better player on those championship teams, and won ALL three finals MVP's,....Knowing good and well how dominate Shaq was in those series...Face it Kobe had ALOT of help getting those 3 rings

Answer 3

Cuz he left on a sour note

Answer 4

Ummm... how 'bout that "special' rap for Kobe he made.

Answer 5

I don't hate Shaq, but I did find it quite rude that he rapped about Kobe, dissing him.

Answer 6

After all the the crap Shaq said about the Lakers on the way out the door Lakers fans will never like him.

Answer 7

cuz hes rich!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

BECAUSE KOBE CANT WIN IT WITHOUT SHAQ!!
HAHAHA

Answer 9

That's typical of Lakers fans. Kobe got booed for wanting to leave. But you know what? The funny thing is that Lakers didn't want Shaq because they decided that Kobe and Shaq wasn't getting along so they chose Kobe instead. Yes Shaq brought LA 3 titles but I guess this is typical in the business world. It's all about "What have you done for me lately". It doesn't matter what you did in the past.

That's why I'm happy for player that take the highest bidder when time come to signing new contract like Childress, Sasha and Turiaf. Yeah Sasha would have gone to Europe for more money which is good for him.

LOL@ the guy who said Kobe is most belove in LA. below.......nickloks.,...I guess you forgot that you guys booed him last year.

Answer 10

Cuz Shaq left in a bad way, he started talking all this stuff about the Lakers, and we all know about how he talks about Kobe.
That is why they dont like him, they basically lost respect for him

Answer 11

Kobe had Shaq run out of town because he wanted all the glory. This isn't for all laker fans because I know a lot of you appreciate what Shaq did for your team....but the rest of you that are hugged up on Kobe's nuts need to get a clue! Do you remember how bad he wanted out of LA? He has no loyalty to you fans. Your undying love for this weasel is pathetic.

Answer 12

Dont get me wrong hes a great player but he has a big mouth

Answer 13

They hate him because how he "rapped" about Kobe the one night at a club.

Answer 14

Cause he's a f***ing a$$hole. As soon as he gets out of L.A., he starts badmouthing Kobe and talking about how Dwayne Wade is a better team mate. As soon as he gets out of Miami, he starts badmouthing Pat Riley. He's ungrateful and he has no class. Did you hear the rap from a few weeks back? Did you hear what he was saying? It was stupid $hit about how he's better than Kareem and Patrick Ewing. And it also says something about how much of a better person Kobe is that he didn't respond. And now, Shaq is just bitter because the Lakers are just as good now as before he left. But that's all okay, because when all is said and done, Shaq will be a footnote in NBA history, and Kobe will go down as the best player to pick up a basketball.

Answer 15

Because they buy into this Kobe being the franchise thing. They don't want to admit that Kobe ran Shaq out of town, so they feel the need to slam the fat guy who won them all those championships, so that they can put it all on him. Getting their as$es kicked by the Spurs in 2003, losing miserably to Detriot in 2004, everything is on Shaq and nothing is Kobe's fault.

Although of course, the single most important reason why they sucked so bad during the 2004 Finals was because Kobe the ballhog just wouldn't pass to Shaq the Fatman, who was the ONLY Laker who was halfway decent in all those games they lost.

Answer 16

Well real Lakers fans really don't hate Shaq ,We just don't care about him anymore!

Answer 17

they can't get enough of shaq..
lakers fans knows that if shaquille should have stayed with the lakers their team wouldn't be blown out like what happen'd when shaq leaves for miami


plus the fact that shaq won another ring without kobe


kobe will not win a ring anymore without shaq

Answer 18

cause he left them and he wanted to go

Answer 19

idk

Answer 20

kobe couldnt come close?? isnt that to big of a burden to put on the shoulders of a kid in his early 20s?? i mean kobe wasnt but 22 when they won their first championship...where was jordan at age 22?? jordan didnt win one until he was 27...kobe is gonna get his no question about it..its just a matter of how many...but shaq continually disses kobe...the most beloved man in los angeles...not a smart move if you wanna win over the los angeles fans...

Answer 21

because they only care about him when he won their championships, damn thats *beep*t

Answer 22

That is why they are mad. He was the only reason why they won but they dont want to admit that without shaq they cant win. Just like in his rap.
