Shaq Gives Props to Kobe on Twitter

Shaquille O'Neal may be headed to Cleveland or may team with Amare Stoudemire to push the Lakers in the Pacific Division next year. And it appears his beef with Kobe Bryant is officially over.

After the Lakers cruised to a 99-86 win for their 15th NBA Championship and Bryant's first without O'Neal, the Big Aristotle gave props to Kobe via Twitter:

"Congratualtions kobe, u deserve it. You played great . Enjoy it my man enjoy it. And I know what yur sayin rt now 'Shaq how my a** taste'"

The final sentence is in reference to Shaq's impromptu rap in June 2008 in a New York night club, lamenting Bryant for his NBA Finals loss to the Boston Celtics, and asking Bryant, "tell me how my (expletive) taste." Shaq eventually apologized and Kobe said he didn't take it personally, but it was obvious Bryant was determined to win a title without Shaq.

In all, Shaq sent out eight tweets, congratulating Derek Fisher, DJ Mbenga, Pau Gasol, the Orlando Magic and Phil Jackson. Finally, he lauded Bill Russell for his appearance during the award ceremony.

To Jackson: "Congrats to you to phil jackson. When the general doesn't panic the troops don't panic. You are the greatest now."

Fisher: "Congrats to u to d fish, big shots the other day. Enjoy my man enjoy"

Gasol: "Congrats in spanish pau gasol, muchas gracias pappacito"

Mbenga: "Congrats to you to, mbengaaaaaaaa"

Russell: "Its nice to see the greatest big man ever on stage, smilin havin a good time. I love bill russell"

Shaq's Twitter notes has become a must read for NBA fans and he is using the 140-character social network to send out messages, opinions and kudos.
