lol @ people still failing to realize Shaq made Kobe what he was.....without a big man that gets triple teamed every time he touches the ball, Kobe will turn into a just above average player....alot of players would love having someone on their team who gets triple teamed each time he touches the ball, its alot easier to play basketball that way when you are on offense
Prime example, look what happened when the pistons played Shaq straight up, Kobe sure had a tougher time scoring and didnt look like the superstar he was suppose to be
