As a Laker Fan I have forever been involved in this very debate. Most people say Shaq carried Kobe to those first 3 championships, but I watched those games. I saw what Kobe Bryant did on the basketball court for my Lakers. I saw Shaq too. Their dominance is why so many of us thought they'd really win multiple championships. Sadly, 'ego' tore this potential 6 peater apart.

Below, this video Debunks the entire debate, that suggests Shaq Carried Kobe .....

As a Laker fan I wish I had these stats handy years ago while Kobe was playing. A large reason people disrespect his game now, and suggest Lebron James is already better than Kobe, is this idea. It's not an accurate Idea and thanks to the internet, and the research department, we now know the truth.
