Bigger dropoff: 3peat Lakers w/o Kobe or current Heat w/o Lebron?

[Mr. Jabbar]

I say current Heat still make the finals maybe even win them. 3peat Lakers would get bounced in the west.

Lebron's the best player on the Heat , Shaq was the best player on the Lakers, so the Heat will drop off more.

Lol shaq and kobe were carrying role players, in the heat they're all all-stars and borderline all stars, sh1ts not even funny ...

Wade is still one of the best handful of players in the game, and has been much better than his numbers would indicate.

Lakers record w/o Kobe during threepeat: 25-7 (78%), compared to 12-11 w/o Shaq (52%).

Lakers won championship in '00 with Bean averaging 15.6 PPG on 37% shooting. Those are 3rd or 4th option #s on terrible shooting and the Lakers still won the title.

Shaq was the man on those teams, Kobe was the help. Better question would be 3peat Lakers w/o Kobe or current Heat w/o Wade.

Pretty much this.

[Trollsmasher]

Lakers would play a different scrub off the bench

[Mr. Incredible]

The Heat would not beat the Knicks without LeBron.

This forum is crazy! I said this in my thread some weeks ago and I got flamed. Heat still come out the East. Lakers wouldn't

LOL this dumbass doesnt even realize that his question weakens his agenda. Heat without bron have a MUCH bigger dropoff

[SilkkTheShocker]

I don't know if Wade's body can hold up another season doing the heavy lifting for the regular and postseason. Definitely has the ability still.
