Well it goes both ways. Only laker fans don't whine about it (even in the games we lost).
Who Jersey?
GO LAKERS!
Superior team? They are a two man show bone head, there is no team. It's the Shaq and Kobe hour when ever they hit the floor. And the only reason you little LA lovin turds don't cry is because they won. I bet you would be sniveling like a little baby if your poor little lakers got beat so zip your lip about we laker fans don't whine.
Two man team? Hmmm, here's some stats from game 7 of the King series:
Rick Fox 13 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists
Derek Fisher 13 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists
Robert Horry 16 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists
Tonight Rick Fox chipped in 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Derek Fisher had 13 points. Robert had 5 points, 8 boards, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals.
You can call the Lakers whatever you want, but to say they aren't a team is pure insanity. You don't win 2 titles in a row, and looking for number 3 and not be a team. Everyone on the team knows their roles, and does what they are good at. They don't have 5 guys who can go for 20 on a given night like Dallas or Sac, but they do have two of the best players in the game, and role players who know their roles. They aren't the most atheletic team on the face of the earth (something I think they need to address next season, along with getting someone to replace Fisher), but everyone does what they need to do to win. In today's NBA, getting guys to play their roles is much more important than having a team of superstars. The Nets aren't exactly loaded, but Byron has them playing their roles, which led to their success this season.
I should remind you that this two stars and some role players formula has won almost every title since 1991. The Bulls were Mike, Scottie, and role players. The Spurs were Tim Duncan, David Robison and role players, and the Lakers are Shaq, Kobe and role players.
