NEW YORK (AP)Just in case anybody had forgotten that Kobe Bryant has never won an NBA title without Shaquille ONeal, the big man sent out a reminder.

The Phoenix Suns center can be seen rapping that Kobe couldnt do without me in a video posted online at celebrity news and gossip site TMZ.com
During the two-minute video, a grinning ONeal lurches through an improvised rap in which he skewers the Lakers star, with whom he won three straight NBA titles from 2000-2002 while with Los Angeles.
I was freestyling. Thats all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever, ONeal told ESPN.com Monday. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. Im totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all.
ONeal and Bryant last played together in 2004. After a long-simmering feud came to a boil in public, ONeal was traded to Miami before the 2004-05 season, and won an NBA championship with the Heat in 2006.
Bryant and the Lakers didnt reach the finals again until earlier this month, when the Boston Celtics beat them 4-2.
You know how I be, Shaq rapped. Last week Kobe couldnt do without me.
