I mean cmon man. I dont know if you were old enough to actually watch Kareem/Magic, or really understand basketball when Jordan/Pippen were runnin together. But Shaq and Kobe's chemistry was NOTHING compared to those guys. This isnt about who the individual, but about who were the best "duos". You never saw these kind of problems between Jordan and Pippen or Magic and Kareem that would cause them to not be able to play together. Kobe/Shaq, not even close to the other two. As for having Jordan/Pippen above Magic/Kareem, thats close. Jordan is unarguably the greatest player ever. But Magic and Kareem are both probably in the top 5 or so. Pippen, i wouldnt place him in the top ten ever really. But, look at how good those Bulls teams were, and they had FAR less talent surrounding those two then Magic and Kareem ever had. I mean, through their runs of 6 championships...the 3rd best player they ever really had was Rodman, and they didnt have him the whole time. They had players like Luc Longley,Bill Wennington, BJ Armstrong, etc...etc. All of whom disappeared into nothingness when Jordan and Pippen were gone.

Those numbers speak for themselves. So what, the Lakers went 67-15 in 2000 and swept the western conference playoffs in 2001 (which has never been done)...It's purely opinion, as long as it's not some bogus "LeBron is better than Kobe" shit...PeACe

How can you blame it on Shaq? If Kobe wouldn't have been going around raping bitches, (No, I do not believe he really raped her) Shaq would probably still be in LA. Kobe tried to justify what he did by basically saying "Everybody else does it, even Shaq." Then next thing you know Mitch says they would never trade Kobe, but they would trade Shaq. How would you react if you were in Shaq's shoes? I have no respect for Kobe after he tried to bring Shaq down with him after he got caught cheating. I'm a Laker fan, but I am also a fan of Shaq still.
LMAO^^^ when Kobe said that, u can believe shaq heard about damn near straight away.
I def agree that Jordan and Pippen was way more lopsided. EVERYBODY that played with Jordan was a lot better. Pippen was great, but nowhere near where he was when he was with Jordan.Quote from: wcsoldier on January 12, 2006, 11:25:10 PMLakers at their best level (during the 01 playoffs) >>>> any Bulls team Didn't the Bulls go 70-12 in 96?

Those numbers speak for themselves. it was 72 - 10 they lost there last regular season game. or esle it would have been 73 - 9 damn in the single digit loses.... but that 01 laker team being better than any bulls team is just wrong....
