Imagine calling this cast stacked and not trolling about it

[superduper]

How crazy would it be if any one player could carry this cast to not one but TWO rings back to back in the most competitive conference in history?

Who on this team is a top 200 player all time other than Mamba?

How long would it take until LeGOAT threw visible tantrums on the court and demanded a complete overhaul of the coaching and teammates with this cast?

Fans today couldn't even name 5 players in that picture.

Whats funny to me is how many Lakers fans were adamant they had the best team in the league and now a few(very few) people decided they weren't talented in retrospect.

I wouldn't say Pay carried them, but I guess he did pretty well.

Like for real... think about actually calling this cast stacked and NOT trolling about it.

Being dead serious in saying Kobe had a DOMINANT front court and amazing DEPTH and clutch help from players like:

Derek "8ppg 39%" Fisher
Shannon "7ppg 42%" Brown
Luke "5ppg 42%" Walton
Pau "0-16 Gasol"
Andrew "OutOfTheLeague" Bynum
Sasha Vujecic
Jordan Farmar
DJ Mbenga

That roster is so shitty that I could beat 4 guys on that roster

They win the majority of the games but I'd win some

Walton (i did), vujacic, morrison and farmar - none if these guys were legit NBA players

You're absolutely right, it's amazing how Kobe elevated his YMCA level cast who would be subject to having an overhaul demanded if a certain someone was their leader to absolute greatness not once but twice.

What a great leader and player. Hindsight is 20/20

Damn, Pau really carried that team.

pau carried them alright... he carried them to getting swept by the spurs and padding his 0-16 record as lead dog in the playoffs. then followed it up with a near bottom lottery season the next year without kobe

[PickernRoller]

The triangle was a thing of beauty. How it sets roles clear and defined - makes these bums excel at what they're best. Of course it needs a player like Kobe to work.

That's because people who followed the Lakers during that era knew that all Kobe needed was one other all-nba player to go after rings.

They weren't setting the expectations low like a certain fan base...

[kennethgriffen]

Odom was a prodigy and a known slacker - mj would've gotten the best out of him, whereas Chuckbe couldn't and needed management to get gasol

actually kobe got the best out of odom... see his year with dallas immediately after leaving
