well...Shaq is to kobe what pippen was toMichael...lutenant
disagree. shaq was in the finals with orlando without Kobe. He lost.
Together, they won 3 rings and lost the finals once.
Alone, kobe lost in the finals.
But only shaq managed to win in the finals alone, with the heat in 06.
Kobe pushed shaq out of town with all his talk about leading his team to the ring without shaq. But he can't do it. Maybe next year, yada yada. But he had his stage to shine against a drama queen Celtics team who should have had their spirit broken in game 1. Jordan would have won it in 5, we all know that.
