itsaboutthattime:
take kobe off of those lakers championship teams and replace him with any all-star SG from that year, do the lakers still win those championships?
YES! Yes, yes, yes, and YES AGAIN. I've mentioned that if we had ANY star SG during those 3-peat titles, we would have STILL 3-peated. I've thrown out Iverson, T-Mac, even Allan Houston... and people laugh. YES, those championships were won because of Shaq and Kobe, but the word 'Kobe' could be substituted for 'star SG', and the results would have been the same. The word 'Shaq' could NOT have been substituted for 'star center'.
Now we're talking..................and I couldn't agree more!! I basically have been saying the same thing for awhile but some of the Kobe fanfare around here seems to cloud folks minds.
