Lakers: Robert Horry: The 2001 Lakers Is The Best 3 Peat Team Ever

[ambchang]

Like I said the Lakers were not good at 3's but good at clutch 3's. and I was talking more about playoffs, not regular season. If you care that much crunch the numbers for the post-season. I do agree that the "Webber Kings were a better comparison but they did not win so who cares? I meant out of the teams that won multiple les outside of the 1984 - 1986 Celts I felt that was the one Laker team that moved the ball in a "Similar fashion". Was it exactly the same? No. But I never said that. but thanks for the data. That is the Amb, i have a man crush on ...

Edit: 2011 Mavs were closer from a 3 point shooting aspect but only won one le I am not mistaken Kool's OP referenced teams that won more than once ...Kings won none.

Whether the kings won or not really isn't that relevant, unless you want to strictly compare championship teams. But even so, the 13 heat and 86 celtics were probably better comparisons.

The 01 lakers were more similar to the 95 rockets or the 05 spurs with the inside out offense.

If you want to say they both made clutch 3 pters, then it would apply to almost every single championship since 94. They all made clutch 3 pointers.

Horry's comments were about 3peat champions IIRC, and mine were about champions periods.

Horry's comments were about the 00-02 Lakers. I can't believe how many people got trolled by this thread le.

Yes, people should take the time to actually read the article.

Back to topic, I agree with Horry, 2001 was the best of those three Laker teams, Shaq was in peak form, and nothing else really matters. 2000 team was pretty good as the entire offense was built around Shaq, and nobody could stop it. 2002 went down a little as Shaq took on less offensive responsibilities, Kobe got better, but as Horry said earlier, he could be replaced. The key was, and always will be, Shaq.
