No a blockbuster trade didn't go down sending Shaq back to LA to play alongside Kobe Bryant and under Phil Jackson. Even though that would be cool to see one more time. 

The two superstars and NBA champions will be teammates against in Phoenix for this year's NBA All Star game. 

Personally, as a dedicated Los Angeles Lakers fan I can't wait to see this happen! I used to love seeing these two play alongside each other in a Lakers uniform. Kobe and Shaq were, in my humble opinion, the best duo ever to play the game.

Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan were as deadly a duo as they come in the NBA, but a guard/center duo like Kobe and Shaq was incredible. How knows, they may have even won more titles together than Jordan and Pippen did if they had stayed together.

I do think the West is totally out matched in this All Star game with perhaps the best starting five I have ever seen in LeBron, Wade, Iverson, KG and Dwight Howard, but it will be fun to see the Shaq and Kobe connection for the last time!
