lol are you retarded?
Ben wallace won back 2 back defensive player of the year titles. He led (or came in second) with blocks. Rasheed wallace imo is currently one of the best power forwards playing the game.
The pistons PROVED you need big men to win the game. They wouldnt have won without the wallaces

exactly and what the pistons did prove was that playing team basketball is more important than anything....something that kobe still needs to learn.....if you never build confidence in your players around you and give them opportunities you are always going to have a hard time.......see how frustrated kobe was when phil had him passing the ball in the finals cause kobe was having a hard time...granted he was gettin all the attention from the pistons.....so phil had him passing the ball to try to get people involved but you cant be doing that shit just at the end when you cant do anything.....if kobe would learn just that one fact like it took jordan a while to get as well then it would make things so much easier for him......what im saying is that team ball and gettin a win is much more important than anything else

Kobe was trying to play team ball...why do you think he had extremely low points in each first half of the whole playoffs basically. He always trys to get his teammates hot...but in the fucken finals the lakers couldnt buy a shot...kobe would end up getting the ball with less than 8 seconds left in the shot clock...i dont care who u are but if ur teammates are dropping those shots u cant do much with 8 seconds left in the shotclock. Shaq with his lil give me the ball shit...they would but he would always settle for those baby hook shots that USED to go in but not anymore. Phil was gonna leave anyway...if Phil would have won two more rings, he would have left. if he would have won this last one...he wouyld have left.

i agree except the shaq part
kobe doesn't deserve any disrespect for the loss neither does shaq, the other players and to an extent phil jackson....he was hardly coaching out there, and basically threw in the towl.
i will go on record and say Jordan in his prime wouldn't of saved the lakers either if he was in kobe's or shaq's shoes.
shit hit the fan after we beat the wolves.
