If it's up to you to ensure that, I certainly will, because it's been shown that you cannot get it done.
Add to it the fact that Shaq actually made the Finals before Kobe did, though he never won a game. His numbers were off the charts.Laker fans here love to talk about the old time glory of the Lakers, when all it does is show just how much more of an impact Duncan has had than Kobe
-Kobe joined the NBA, began his career with Shaq on a franchise that had shown it can put together le teams... a franchise that already had 11 les. and his team only started winning when they hired the GOAT coach. he ended up playing on 5 championship teams, and we can all assume he's done competing for chips
-Duncan joined the NBA, started his career with an already past his prime Robinson coming off major injuries, and assumed the lead dog role from day one... on a franchise that had never even made an NBA finals, and with a coach that had no previous success. he has so far played on 5 championship teams, and is probably going to be battling for more.
the magnitude to which Duncan changed the Spurs franchise is nearly unparalleled. If the Lakers never got Kobe, it probably just means they would have kept Shaq for a bit longer, and would in all likelihood still won a le, and possibly more depending on who they acquired next to shaq
Kobe was given the space to do whatever he wanted because 3 people had to guard Shaq. Shaq still won the MVP thrice in a row. They miss one Finals and suddenly they have to get Payton and Malone for pennies, because the two were legriding to a ring (so they thought) but it turns out that only Shaq could get Payton a ring, and only with Wade. Bryant wouldn't sniff another ring before MVPau was gifted to him for his whining to Stephen A Smith about quitting.
The Lakers are the Kardashians of the NBA, fascinating to watch but mostly just to watch crumble and meltdown. You cheer against them, not for them, unless you're a legrider from way back or a post-Pau got like the ilk that vomits their ty takes here.

Neither is Durant.
Why is a guy with only 1 MVP and 2 alpha les even in the same catergory as the other three ?
My reply was to someone who already said that. I also said "either", which would include Durant.
