Sir Charles was right on here. Last year, Barea was fearless in the paint and Chandler anchored the center position in a way not seen since James Donaldson. This year, Beaubois was a total failure replacing Barea while Haywood was a total joke. Last night Beaubois got a big DNP while Haywood ended up with 4 points and 4 rebounds.
Since Jordan left the game, only 1 team has successfully defended their championship title in the last 14 years. The Lakers. They've done it not once, not twice...ahem Lebron.
Why does this "stat" mean anything? Oh, just another Kobe fan bringing up their nemesis for no apparent reason in a random thread . If you wanna be specific, the Rockets should be added to that list since Jordan left the game in 93.
Theres more parity in the league in the last 15 years than ever before in the history of the NBA. More competitive than anytime before. True modern NBA
