Kobe Bryant's Academy Award on Sunday set off a congratulatory buzz on social media. One of those who thanked the former Lakers guard was his old teammate, Shaquille O'Neal.

Though their time together with the Lakers ended on sour terms, they have since reconciled and O'Neal joked that he was jealous of Bryant's win.

Congrats to KOBE first Oscar that’s big bro #dearbasketball. Proud of you, Big honor for you and your family. I’m jealous lol
