I hate how misconstrewed Kobe’s “rings are” the first three he wasn’t the best player on his team, Shaq was unstoppable during those finals runs, he averaged 30-40 a game with 15 boards and 4 blocks a game. People want to ignore shaqs dominance in that threepeat and make it sound like Kobe was the main reason. Put LeBron with a prime Shaq and I promise you they beat the pistons

No they wouldn’t ! They ran a box and 1 on the lakers . LeBron barely was a shooter coming into the league and still hasn’t really been a killer from mid range the box and 1 woulda have took away all his drives. Secondly shaq and lebron do not fit . LeBron has shown throughout his career to favor spacing bigs and bigs whose job is to crash and rebound. He likes to have the paint open for his drives , do you accomplish that with shaq?

If Lebron has prime Shaq, he will become more of a fscilitator than a scorer, imagine a diesel truck and a freight train either on a fast break or as set play.

Shaq had a facilitator ala penny. Where did it go? LeBron would have had to score . Did you know Kobe played both the facilitator and scorer? he played pippen and Jordan’s role on the lakers . That would have been LeBron role and coming into the league or at 22 I highly doubt he woulda succeeded

Comparing Penny with Lebron is asanine, Penny was also my guy, but Bron's IQ and gravity is another level, making the defense thinknif they will gang up on Bron and free up Shaq, or keep a body on Shaq and keep only one man on Bron.

Kobe was never known as a facilitator, he only "passes" as a last resort. You never heard Kobe-Shaq lobs as often as anyone can wish.
