[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Kobe was gunning for Finals MVP that year, but shot a horrible percentage(38%)and took way too many bad shots with Prince playing great Defense. Outside of the clutch shot he hit in Game 2, he was off the entire series. IMO that's the top reason The Lakers lost as you could tell he and Shaq weren't on the same page, and no role players (other than Walton in Game 2) stepped up. Losing Malone was a big factor as well.

Pistons played Great though, gotta give them credit. Chauncey Billups just picked The Lakers apart

Kobe was only chosen over Shaq because he was younger and Shaq was asking for too much money. You really think Dr. Buss would have chosen Kobe over Shaq if Shaq was 26 and not on the wrong of 32? Kobe may have won us 1 game but he lost us the series, dude was straight chucking out there. Even Lakers fans during that series wereOriginally Posted by thejrob

They also made six straight ECF appearances in a row (2003-0. People act like that one title deserves an asterisk because they didn't win a second one. So you have to win multiple titles to not be a fluke? I guess we can toss out Boston's 2008 title as well. I mean, they didn't make the playoffs for two years before the Big Three, won a title, and haven't made it past the second round since.Originally Posted by epox12
I hear a lot of people say this but they went back to the Finals the next year and lost in 7 games. Not a fluke.Originally Posted by Charles Schwag
