I detect quite a bit of spin on that version of the story. And TBH I like Kobe a lot more than I like Shaq, so I tend to believe more of his version of the relationship.
And also, now that I think about it, I'm about 99% sure that immediately after Shaq got traded, he mentioned that he had his agent call Kobe's agent to invite Kobe to hang with him in Orlando. I don't know that I'd consider that "calling him."
