Because he receives all the credit for his championships when he always plays at a low level in the finals while his big men dominate the game. He cries about every play while his team gets every call possible and is part of the biggest NBA cheating scandal ever. He ran Shaq out of town and would have won 7+ titles with him but he couldn't stand being the second best player. He likes Derek fisher.

Two icon basketball players with the ego's Shaq and Kobe have, it was bound to blow-up in their face. Shaq didn't like Kobe, and Kobe didn't like Shaq. The Lakers knew it was Shaq or Kobe and they chose the younger Kobe Bryant. Yes Kobe and Shaq would have more rings, yes they would be considered the best basketball combo of all time, but that didn't happen. Kobe would not be 5th in scoring if Shaq stayed, Kobe most likely would have never won NBA MVP, so Kobe IMO made the right decision. When your are a top 20 player to ever play you do not want to be second on your team, you want to be first.

Lebron and Wade is different right now cuz they are the best of friends. Lebron tries to be friends with everyone, Shaq and Kobe didn't do that.

It was just as much as Shaq's fault as Kobe. Shaq never bothered to make-up with him and try and be friends. The same goes for Kobe.
