From LeBron James to Kobe Bryant to Dwyane WadeShaquille O'Neal has played alongside some great players in his NBA career. And even though Shaq admits that he would take Bryant over James, citing the Black Mamba's "killer instinct," there is one factor that separated The King from Kobe and even Wade. 

1.

Considering all the times where Kobe admitted that he felt as though he was the one carrying the team, this comment by O'Neal probably won't sit well with him. So, Shaq even felt this way while playing with Amar'e Stoudemire and Steve Nash as a member of the Phoenix Suns? And what does Wade think about this remark? 

Shaq may have opened a can of worms on this one. It's probably only a matter of time before he says that he was misquoted or his comments were misinterpreted.
