Sorry but i find those kind of posts pretty stupid. Since Shaq has proven nothing without Kobe, and Kobe has proved nothing without Shaq, we can only judge them when their careers are over, not now. Miami is no doubt a better team than Lakers is, but Kobe is still so damn good that he scored 42 against Heat to send the game in OT. When everybody and their moma was expecting 42 points and a +20 points win by Heat. Lakers are still a very young team, who changed everybody but Kobe and a couple of bench players from last year, and who still gotta have quality minutes from Divac, Grant (he suffered a lot of small injures) and George, and who's building the team to win in 2007, not in 2005. Heat are a team built to win NOW. It's a NOW or NEVER situation. Completely different. It's like comparing Clippers to San Antonio.

^^I wouldn't even go as far as saying the Heat are that much of a better team...By the end of the season, we'll see.

I feel Lost Angel's post.
I love the Lakers, I grew up in Southern California watching them, shit I still remember Norm Nixon and Bob McAdoo. I'll be a Laker fan for life.
As a kid, every Laker game was an event. I remember the hatred I had for the Celtic green. Hating the Celtics became a sport in and of itself and when they finally beat the Celtics in 1985, that's one of the happiest moments of my childhood. That was huge. Damn I still remember practicing the hook shot and trying to do Magic Johnson's behind the back passes.
I stuck with them when they were losing during the 90's when everyone switched up and became Bulls fans. When they won in 2000, it pissed me off seeing all these Bulls fans become Laker fans again. They had no right to root for the purple and gold. Fuck a bandwagoner, be real to this shit, in good times and lean times.
Now is a time will test the will of every die hard Laker fan. Our team has been destroyed by a selfish bastard named Kobe Bryant. Despite the fact that this cancer that has nearly destroyed my beloved team, I will always represent for the purple and gold.
Laker fan for life.

Naw, i mean Heat are a team built to win the title. It's their one and only goal for this season. They destroyed their salary cap for the next 5-6 years just to win a title in the next 2 years, possibly now. They've traded 2 young promising players like Butler and Odom just to win now. If they dont win, they are a destroyed team who will look exactly like the Lakers in 2 years. No, worse.. cause Shaq will get older (and his contract will get even bigger).
Lakers are a team built do free cap room for the 2007 season. All the trades Mitch did he did them not to win in 2005, but to have free cap room in 2007. To get a good FA. Lakers only goal is to make the Play Offs, possibly winning one round.
So they cant be compared. Lakers never started as a contender for the title like Miami did. Kobe never promised his fans a ring like Shaq did in Miami. So what's the point comparing those two teams and those two guys? They got different goals. Kobe is winning his own goal, having a pretty decent record for his Lakers, and having an MVP-caliber season. Shaq got the best record in the East, and has a team who can win the title. Let's wait till the end of the season, like Nick said, to check who's right and who's not. And let's wait for the end of their careers to see who's better and who's not.
Let's stop this bullshit trashtalk.
