Shaq: I'd take Kobe over LeBron because of 'killer instinct'

Shaq played with both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James during his career and says he would choose his former Laker pal over his one-time Cavs teammate, though he has a little more bias towards his longtime former Laker teammate.

Appearing on “The Dan Patrick Show” Monday to promote his new podcast, Shaq was asked by DP to choose between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. The question was asked because Bill Laimbeer recently said he’d take LeBron over MJ. Shaq wasn’t feeling that and took His Airness. Next DP asked Shaq to choose between Kobe and LeBron.

Somewhat surprisingly, Shaq took Kobe, though he did note that that wasn’t a “knock against LeBron.
