Ask El BJ.
Magic's legendary game 6 performance versus the Sixers in 1980 was broadcast on tape delay to almost the entire country outside of LA and Philly. The networks opted to play reruns of Dukes of Hazzard, The Incredible Hulk, and that soap opera Dallas instead. No joke.
They can't take it way now but the le the LAL got going through the Kings with all the strange calls in what many believe was included the worst officiated game (6) in NBA history - even Ralph Nadar wrote stern and Donaghy brought it up prominetly in his book should be brought up more - LAL at the very least was lucky to win that series:
At the heart of the matter is Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings. The Kings, up 3-2 in the series, were victims of what many people view as the worst-officiated game of all-time, and the Lakers managed to pull out a 106-102 victory. The officiating was viewed as so bad, that longtime presidential hopeful Ralph Nader sent a letter to Stern stating that very fact afterwards. (The entire letter is found on page two of this article.)

"If we take away les...and then start from the Magic/Bird era..."
Cmon now...
Oh wait, Laker fans...the same fanbase that always loves to mention "not counting Kobe's first two years, when he wasn't starting consistently!"
Still & all:::
Kobe: 5
Duncan: 4
Non issue.
tee, hee.
true, but championships in the era of 8 - 10 NBA teams aren't truly comparable to those in today's era of 30 teams.
Rings are rings. Qualifying them is vulgar & ugly.
Then, clearly, you disapprove of this thread started by your fellow Laker Fan.
I'll put an asterisk next to that . There was no such thing as free agency back then. Therefore if you have a stacked team, no one could pry away Havlicek or Russell. Plus there were only 8 teams back then so it was not like there was a whole lot of compe ion back then to begin with.@ octo-peat in the friggen 50's or 60's.
Some Celtic fans think Bird was better than Kobe. Let me see here...
- Kobe with 1 hall of fame teammate = 3 peat. Impressive
- Bird with 2 hall of fame teammates = no 3 peat or repeat. Not impressive
- Kobe with no hall of fame teammate = repeat (and counting). Impressive
Like Kool said, you guys have been irrelevant for over 25 years. Even with a hall of fame front line, you guys could not even repeat (thanks to the Lakers I might add).
Doc likes to say how your starting 5 never lost. Well, neither has Bynum, Pau, Ariza/Artest, Kobe, and Fish, tbh. Truth be told, I'm not sure you guys would have won in 2008 if Bynum and Ariza were healthy.
Pau, LO, and Bynum repeated, therefore Pau/LO/Bynum > Bird/Parish/McHale.I mean, you guys had 3 top 50 players of all time on your front line and couldn't go back to back. Think about that.
A Bird-led team couldn't repeat. A Kobe-led team did. And after this year, Kobe will have more than doubled Bird's ring count. Thems be the facts.
Respect Kobe, even if you hate him. Now spin this .![]()
lakerfan got severely raped up in here
It doesn't count as rape if it is after the 66th....opps I mean 2nd page.
Did you really just post that Kobe doesn't have League and Finals MVPs?
Lol! Seriously, seek help with your delusion little guy. The koolaid is now flowing through your veins.![]()
On the subject of Kobe Bryant's current streak of greatness...
Dude's a legend literally carving out his place in history right now as we speak. If he propels the Lakers to the Finals again this season he will be the first superstar to carry a team there 4 consecutive years since Magic Johnson+Kareem Lakers from 82-85 and the Larry Bird Celtics from 84-87. Everyone knows those teams had 3 hall of famers each whereas Kobe is the lone Superstar player on the Lakers making this feat that much more impressive.
A bitter pill for people here to swallow but the reality of the situation nonetheless.
Ftfy.
Lakers starting 5: $70.96 million dollars annual salary.
The Atlanta Hawks, the 8th highest payroll in the NBA's (entire team) salary: $69,371,770.
Truly a stunning feat by Kobe.

We've talking about Stars that earned them while three-peating... you need to get up to speed before looking like a buffoon (as usual)
Just how dumb are you?
So his teammates are a bit overpaid... that provides ZERO insight if we are analyzing the team from a historical perspective. From a historical perspective Kobe Bryant has less star power help than any other Superstar player with the same relative success.
Everyone else had 2 HOF players alongside them
Jordan: Pippen - Rodman
Magic: Kareem - Worthy
Bird: Mchale - Parish
Russell: Havlicek - Jones - Cousy
Exactly.
Look up delusional disorder under the category of mental health. It may be the most important thing you do for yourself.
Dude will be remembered as the player that tried the hardest to imitate Jordan, but came up short. There's no coming back from missing the playoffs and quitting on your team on a closeout game. Neither Kobe, the arrival of Odom nor Bynum made the Lakers a contender. It was Gasol, the true team superstar, that made it happen. It's patently clear that when Gasol struggles, so does the Lakers.
So you were wrong, and you're not gonna man up and accept it.
Exactly.![]()
Right, but OP mentioned starting at 1966, a very specific year, for a very obviously transparent reason.
