Shaquille O'Neal Mourns Kobe Bryant on Podcast: 'I Really Lost a Brother'

"I'm not doing well. I'm sick," O'Neal said, adding that Bryant's death comes a few months after the death of O'Neal's sister Ayesha Harrison-Jex, who passed away from cancer in October. "I'm just getting over the death of my sister... I haven't eaten. I haven't slept. I'm looking at all the tapes. I'm sick right now," he said.

"All this stuff that is documented between us is never a dislike. This is what brothers. I am the first to say hey I have four rings and I know I couldn't get three without him." "People ask me how I feel ... I gotta go back to not sleeping, not eating, not really functioning and it just hurts. It's just hard to believe," O'Neal continued. He then said that the tragedy has made him want to "delete my beef and my confrontation clause." "I don't want to do that anymore. I just called all people I had discrepancies with and said, 'look man, I love you.

O'Neal also addressed the news that Bryant reached out to his son Shareef to see how he was doing, shortly before he passed away, something he says was just an example of the love he and O'Neal shared for each other's families. "When we saw each other it was love and respect. I just wish I could've talked to him before."
