Lakers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The "Kobe Bryant versus Shaquille O'Neal" storyline just won't

Bryant smiled but winced when presented with more O'Neal questions
recently, declining to bite when asked about O'Neal's recent comment
to The Sacramento Bee that he wouldn't rule out re-signing with the
Lakers in 2010.
"You're not getting anything out of me but plain vanilla," Bryant
said. "I'm not saying anything. I learned from my man Tiger (Woods).
My mouth is locked."
Bryant and O'Neal will cross paths again Thursday in Phoenix in
the first Lakers-Suns matchup of the season. The last time the Lakers
visited on Feb. 20, it was O'Neal's Suns debut—he had 15 points and nine rebounds, but the Lakers won,...
