Kobe Bryant sent a sweet text to Shaquille O’Neal ’s son Shareef Sunday shortly before the Los Angeles Lakers legend embarked on his fatal helicopter flight. “You good fam?” the NBA great wrote at 8:19 a.m. on Instagram, the young O’Neal revealed in posting the exchange. At 10:58 a.m., O’Neal answered that he had been figuring out his “next move” and inquired about Bryant, who teamed with his father to win three NBA titles in Los Angeles. “I wish I didn’t sleep in so I could’ve talked to you,” O’Neal wrote in the post, which included a photo of him with Bryant.
