[Legends66NBA7]

That's the best version of Kobe, IMO.

Yes, Celtics win the title.

Iverson could've done the same thing as 2nd fiddle to Shaq
Tmac could've done the same thing as 2nd fiddle to Shaq
Wade could've done the same thing as 2nd fiddle to Shaq
LBJ could've done the same thing as 2nd fiddle to Shaq

Those kobe takeovers are absolutely nothing special when Shaq is the only defensive focus.

get over it.

HAHA nope........Penny couldn't and Wades only championship came when he still had a very good shaq AND when the leagues best competition was obviously the finalist, the mavericks who weren't close to the teams L.A. went through. Oh and D-whistle getting well whistles certainly helped them as well. As far as Shaq making it easier for Kobe, check out Kobe's other years past Shaq era....He elevated his play without shaq. Hell, why don't u find out Kobe's stats from 00-03 during games he played that Shaq was injured in....I bet they very higher

No, 2003 Kobe was one of the most selfish players ever.

Kobe had six assists per game, more than any Celtic not named Rondo.

That would kill ball movement, but technically Celtics are struggling even with the extra passing. I say it would get them past 76ers easily, but they would still lose to Miami.
