Now that the "Shaq can't win without Kobe" argument is dead, I started to ponder on which players from championship teams just could not be replaced by any another player in the league at that time. Here is my list (only been watching since the 80's) Magic Bird Jordan Hakeem (Pat and Robinson were nut-ups) Pippen (I an't think of any other SF who could fill his role) Duncan 2005 (Shaq was done by then, as far as carrying a team on his own) Any others?
... The Shaq can't win without D-Wade argument has begun But seriously, its not even an argument. Shaq wouldnt have won in LA without Kobe - Kobe wouldnt have wont without Shaq.... Shaq wouldnt have won in Miami without Wade - Wade wouldnt have won in Miami without Shaq Just let it die TEAMS win championships
