There were suggestions of a rift between Kareem and Shaq with the latter unhappy over a perceived lack of support.
But the pair made sure to quash any beef during the post-game interview.
Abdul-Jabbar said: “I want to tell Shaq, I ask you specifically this evening because you felt that I was ashamed of you or ignoring you — that would never be the case.
“And you showed what you were all about the way you crushed all the centers in the league for a couple of years there.
