Kobe should've been gone already, since in 6 years, he's proven nothing more than to be a good counterplayer to Shaq. While the popular vote is for Garnett - if you put him or Duncan with Shaq, the Lakers are an even deadlier team, and not because of the different positions they play from Kobe. Goodbye, Kobe Bryant. Call us in 5 years when you're away from Shaq and struggling to carry the team without him and Phil Jackson.
