That Orlando team was stacked...more talent than those Laker teams TBH. However they had to deal with Mike and 70 win Bulls, and of course Dream and Glide. And of course they werent' being coached by Phil. It's no coincidence that the rise of the 3peat Lakers coincided with the fall off of the center position and Mike retiring.
yeah but shaq was the main guy..the ALPHA
again nothing wrong with being robin..
00-02 shaq carried kobe..not the other way around

And Shaq was too busy eatin donuts, sitting on the bench complaining about his toe, and making contract to demands to Jerry Buss while he was on the decline.
Imagine if the Lakers had to pay '07 Shaq $28-30 million.
Fixed.
Them nikkas could've dominated until 07 but mutual bytchassness ruined it. That's how you know it was too easy for them...other shyt took precedence over winning because they know they had that locked up.
Kobe learned his lesson after the Smush Parker era. I think age taught Shaq his lesson.
How do "carry" someone when you outscore them by barely 2 PPG game or aren't the closer on your own squad?
shaq 30.4 ppg
kobe 29.4 ppg
1.0 ppg difference
2002 playoffs
shaq 28.5 ppg
kobe 26.6 ppg
1.9 ppg difference
Smh at getting outscored/Outrebounded, out blocked, out assisted in game 7 of a conference finals by the "robin"
2000 WCF game 7
kobe - 25/11/7
shaq - 18/9/5

Imagine if Shaq actually stayed in shape and Kobe didn't have a hero complex. Them nikkas could have challenged the Celtics 8 titles in a row.
it was time for pink mamba to reup and he wouldnt sign unless shaq was gone. jerry had to make a move. shaq came to the 305 and won a ship with flashgod just 2 years later. shouldve been mvp in 05. dont talk to me about fallin off
dudes love talking out their ass when they don't know anything.
More liked Kobe carried Shaq to the finals (Kings, Spurs anyone?) and Shaq did his thing against Todd MacCulloch
ya robin had 1 or 2 good series in those 3peat run..
So you don't want to talk about Shaq after that point and what actually started in the 05 Finals then?
Shaq and Kobe were both at fault for how things ended in LA. Shaq wasn't about taking care of himself which took a toll on his body towards the end. If Shaq had taken care of himself the Heat prolly win 2 or 3 titles with him and Wade. Then again if he had taken care of himself the Laker don't trade him. Kobe wasn't about playing smart basketball. He was determined to be the hero. Neither man warrants defense. They both fukked up something that could've been historic.
