Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took yet another quick-witted jab at Shaquille O'Neal in his signature sarcastic way. Prior to the unveiling of his statue outside of Staples Center, the 7-foot-2 skyhook pioneer reminded the media of Shaq's career-long free-throw woes.
Kareem having some fun: "Some people thought the odds of Kobe Bryant showing up today were the same as Shaq hitting a free throw."

Kobe Bryant eventually showed up to the ceremony and dished out plenty of love for the big fella. The Mamba claimed that when he was first acquired, he didn't know much about him, but after spending eight seasons together — Shaq was undoubtedly the most dominant player he ever saw, according to Trudell.
Abdul-Jabbar wasn't wrong though, Shaq was a career 52.7 percent shooter, a thing that proved costly for the Lakers as he went to the line 10-plus times a game. Regardless, there will never be a funnier free-throw sequence than this one below.
