That 2003/2004 Lakers team looked good on paper but the reality was. Malone/GP both past their primes. Malone was injured some that season. Shaq was out of shape and Kobe tried to be Jordan in that series and failed. Kobe wanted a finals mvp cause Shaq got it the previous years. The Pistons had Ben Wallace and Sheed up front. Young Tayshaun locking up Kobe Rip chasing whoever off screens and Billups as the floor general. The Lakers couldn’t keep up. Not to mention Kobe had the Colorado thing going on/ beef with Shaq. It was just too muchThe 2016 warriors, the won the most games in regular season in NBA history and were heavily favored to win the championship, if not for arguable the greatest basketball player of all time in lebron james playing the best basketball he possibly could and will his team to a 3-1 comeback, they had no bisness winning that series
The 2003/2004 lakers team that super team with prime shaq and bryant suppose to easily beat detriot or sweep that team, it is still one of the all time choke jobs in the nba history
