Former teammate and nemesis Shaquille O'Neal was a big part of Kobe Bryant's farewell performance for the ages Wednesday night, being included in the pregame tribute, and then checking in with Kobe on the bench.
Turns out he told Bryant to go out and get 50. Sixty ensued.
Just spoke to Shaq - he said "I challenged him to get 50 and the mother****er got 60"
