Former Los Angeles Lakers player Shaquille O'Neal recently shared his thoughts on the competitiveness of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan while appearing on Drink Champs. According to O'Neal, while Jordan was a strong competitor, Bryant's drive was on another level. He also revealed that he and Bryant had similar attitudes towards being dominant on the court. Despite their past friction, O'Neal remained respectful of Bryant's work ethic and mentality.

The duo, who won three NBA titles together, is considered one of the most iconic pairs in basketball history. Additionally, O'Neal previously expressed his belief that he and Bryant were better than Jordan and Scottie Pippen from the 1993 NBA Finals based on their combined stats.
