The lakers stink and always would have if Shaq hadn't been there. Don't get me wrong, I don't like shaq either, his only talent is being tall. Kobe - Shaq = no championships I really miss the great sports teams (and athletes) of the 90's... the cowboys (aikman, smith, irvin and sanders!), the bulls (jordan) and Iron Mike Tyson could knockout anyone.. there's just nobody to compare them to these days...
I still hope they could get into the finals this time.. There, I guess anything can happened. Just look at how Detroit surprised us before.
