i think Magic and Shaq could 4 peat or some shyt, but the Kobe/Kareem longevity would be craaaazzzy. They'd be able win over a prolonged period of time like the Spurs did. Like some 8 titles in 13-14 years type of shyt.
There’s no way Kobe and Kareem don’t butt heads. No way. They’d force each other out.

Kobe and Kareem are an actual better natural basketball fit IMO…offensively and defensively …than Magic and Shaq…the triangle famously minimized reduced the role of a “traditional point guard”, so instead of getting showtime magic you’re probably looking at him playing some approximation of pip’s role in initiating the offense…

I think Kobe would have respected Kareem enough to fall back. Plus norm would have been the point and he would have gotten everyone involved

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Kobe would've gotten his ass whooped in that Lakers locker room :manny: And who was going to be the point guard? The Lakers would've had to change their entire offense and Identity.
And Magic/Phil Jackson would've budded heads. Magic wasn't running no triangle offense :mjlol: Phil would've probably traded him.
NEITHER would've won. Bird would've won more ring :dead:

With both big men being the elite of the elite
It comes down to which guard is impacting the game the most. I go magic and Shaq here because Magic is impacting winning more than Kobe just due to how he sets up his teammates. If basketball wasn't such a team dependent game. I'd definitely pick Kobe because he's running everybody out the gym as far scoring output
