And Shaq getting the finals MVP he never would have gotten if Kobe hadn't averaged the double digit assists to get him the ball.

What has Shaq done without Kobe? How many rings

Exactly
the above reads like communist propoganda the question should be what Kobe has done without Shaq.

And they both didn't carry each other.

Since Shaq moved to the eastern conference, the east has won both all star games, and shaq has been to the conference finals.

Since Shaq left the lakers, the lakers failed to make the playoffs the first year, and only made it the second year because T-Mac was injured. And the lakers lost in the first round after having a 3-1 lead. a testimony to mediocrity and incompetence.

And for those 3 rings that Shaq got, make no mistake about it, Shaq had to play 4 years with the Lakers before they came.

With Orlando Shaq played 2 yrs and got the the finals, then he went to LA to restart. If he had stayed with Orlando they would have beaten the bulls and win, because that year the bulls swept them, penny and a bunch of others were injured.

Now Shaq is with Miami, he went to the conference finals both years, and this being the second time, he might return to the NBA finals.

Kobe is all flash and no substance.

Lebron by himself successfully took his team to the NBA playoffs and won a playoff series. Something that both Kobe and T Mac failed to do on their own. And in addition Lebron has an opportunity to go to the conference finals by beating the Detroit pistons. something both kobe and t mac failed to do.


The 3 players of pure substance in the league are Shaq, Lebron and Duncan. The others are no where in their league in terms of leadership and accomplishments, and this include TMAC Kobe, IVERSON, Nowitzki etc.

With Shaq, Lebron and Duncan you have a team that will most likely always reach the conference finals and NBA finals. With Tmac,Kobe and Iverson you only have a team that would give you good highlights.
CC. Everyone knows Shaq was the Batman of that team and Kobe was Robin.
