Talk about nostalgia.

As the basketball world simultaneously celebrates and mourns the end of Kobe Bryant‘s amazing career, fans that have watched him play since day one received a blast from the past when his former teammate Shaquille O'Neal stopped to say hello on the bench.

After appearing in the tribute video that the Lakers showed for Bryant, Shaq Daddy decided to sneak up on the Black Mamba during a timeout. A little stalker-esque, but we'll let it slide.

A quick tap on the shoulder, and that was that. Surely they'll find another time, without so much fanfare, to hang out and reminisce on the dynasty they built with the Lakers in the early 2000s.
