I don't remember where I heard this but I think that Kobe thought that Shaq was lazy. Kobe said if Shaq had a better work ethic he would be the best player to ever play the game.

Kobe was probably the hardest working player to ever play the game so I could understand his dislike if he saw huge potential in a player with a subpar work ethic.
