**the official la lakers thread**

[Left Hook Tua]

They ended the Lakers dynasty, went to the finals 2 years in a row and were the best defensive team in the league for 4 years. There has never been a team like them since.

I consider them a dynasty. Theres no official defnition of a dynasty.

They didnt end the Lakers dynasty

Shaq left lol

Plus Lakers didnt win the year before either


Whatever the official definition of a dynasty

I think it's safe to say a dynasty wins more than once. Lol

Or else every team who wins once is a dynasty, dumbo.

Ok maybe not a dynasty but they were definitely a phenomenon. It was the first time we saw all starting 5 on the floor be elite defenders.I don't think we've seen something like that since. Golden State comes the closest.

Either way, Lebron did what Kobe+Shaq couldn't. He not only beat them, he annihilated them.

Kobe-shaq team only met that team once

Lebron met that team multiple times and lost to them

The team lebron finally beat was like 4-5 yrs later

Not exactly the same team

Lebron played the better version. They replaced Ben with McDyess and Webber.

The reason Lakers lost is because Kobe tried to be the hero. Shaq was eating Ben alive in the low post but Kobe wanted to be MJ.

That's partially the reason

Kobe did hog it and his shot was off

Maybe it hit him it might be his last NBA games ever

He was looking at jail time


Another reason is shaq was out of shape

He was dominant at times but Ben Wallace made him work and he couldn't keep it up all game

Remember shaq got in shape when he moved to Miami when he won there

He was out of shape last few years as a laker

And no lebron didnt beat the better version of the pistons

They were several years older, players left

The pistons run was fading

I don't know what series you watched but Ben was like a child in the low post against Shaq. it's just that Ben's defense was so overhyped that if Shaq missed a shot the announcers would overplay it by saying Ben's defense bothered him.

Cousins looking like a SF

Well atleast he's finally getting in shape. More good news for the Lakers.

And could shaq keep it up all game?

Because that was point.
