And let that be a lesson to you! Shaq is still the most dominant player in the NBA and the Lakers are still his team. Shaq was awesome in both games of the NBA finales while Kobe did not get warmed up until game two. The Lakers would have lost by 20 in game one if not for Shaq. Kobe may be the heir apparent to MJ but he's not the best player in the league yet. When the Lakers win this series Shaq will be the MVP for the second year in a row. ------------------
< crash5179 > WHEN the Lakers win the series? How about IF..... I agree though. If I were an expansion franchise GM with an unrestricted first pick, I'd take Shaq over Kobe. ------------------ Raef to Rocks in '01-'02! [This message has been edited by GATER (edited June 09, 2001).]
I would take Kobe, but only because he'll be around longer and expansion teams always suck at the beginning anyway. ------------------
