Kobe Congratulates Shaq Via Instagram for Induction into Hall of Fame

Much has been said and written about the sometimes contentious relationship between former Los Angeles Lakers teammates Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.

But Bryant took to his personal Instagram page Thursday to congratulate Shaq for making it into the Hall of Fame. Bryant referred to O'Neal as "my big brother" and the "most dominant big of all time."

O'Neal, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Friday, claimed earlier in the day he had not heard from Bryant regarding the Hall, as Bill Oram of the Orange County Register explained.
