I still don't know why they couldn't keep together and win a ring. I still don't know how they got swept by the Jazz. They had four all stars and a solid bench. What happened? Look you had:
Prime Shaq
Young Kobe
prime Eddie Jones one of the best two way players in his era
prime Nick Van Exel
Robert Horry
Rick Fox
young Derek Fisher coming off the bench
Elden Campbell coming off the bench
They were entertaining to watch and had swagger. The 3peat Lakers and the Kobe/Gasol lakers weren't this talented. What happened to this team? I know that there was a lot of egos in this team, and they needed a coach to set them straight and get rid of some dudes, but ergh, the potential of greatness was there. That 97 and 98 team had a ton of talent. More so in 98 than in 97.
They were a championship contender and they were thought to met the Bulls in the finals. But they got destroyed by the Jazz.
Here is nice Kblaze vid on them:
