Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are back together - at least in a commercial.
In a new ad for NBA 2K18, Shaq delivers an acceptance speech for being named the cover athlete for the video game's Legend Edition next year. He was thanking people when an apparent miscue with the teleprompter ensued.
"But most of all, I'd like to thank Kobe Bryant," the retired NBA star said of his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate. "He was the NBA 2K legend cover athlete first. He's so awesome and handsome and has really nice, natural teeth. Wait, what?"

As it turns out, Bryant was the one writing the teleprompter script. Shaq wasn't thrilled about that and said, "This ain't over, Kobe. Payback's going to be fun."
We can't wait.
And in fairness, The Black Mamba does have nice teeth.
