Over half the league made the playoffs back then, big deal.
ACK!

they did a little more than just make the plaoffs. My memory is a bit hazy, but I believe they went to the finals twice. They lost, but at least they made it that far.Originally posted by Tuberski

Going to the finals and losing isn't a sign of greatness. Utah Jazz ring a bell?Originally posted by Dissident

They also went to the Finals the two years that Jordan "retired" the first time.

The second problem is the lack of teamwork that overcame the Lakers in their last two seasons.Originally posted by Ted Striker
If they had made some good trading moves, I think it was possible.
The supporting cast on the Lakers was too thin. Shaq was carrying the entire burden. Kobe had flashes at times but it simply wasn't enough. They needed a third option.
But the other problem (in my opinon) was Kobe, who kept insisting to be the leader of the team.
I have no idea what Tuberski's going on about, as the Lakers were a team, especially the 2000 & 2001 versions. The lost of that team spirit can largely, mostly be attributed to Kobe Bryant.
I wonder how things would've turned out had Jerry West stayed...Comment

It had gone to far and wasn't going to work anymore, they would have never won another championship.

Just look at Memphis now!
They are likely to make the playoffs under Jerry West.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Re: DUH: Kobe Really Wasn't That Good, SHAQ is the MAN
Thanks for the reminder. Maybe now you'd like to give me a nice paper cut and rub some lemon juice in it?Originally posted by Ted Striker
Well, it's pretty much been proven that the Los Angeles Lakers made the dumbest move in the history of basketball. They let the greatest coach and the greatest player go last year.
Instead, they decided to make a desparate move and woo Kobe Bryant. The man had plenty of troubles off the court and his oncourt prowess is nothing legendary. There are 10 other guards in this league that are just as good, if not better, than Kobe. LaBron James for example, PWNZ Kobe Bryant.
Kobe always wanted the Lakers to be HIS team, he thought he was the true leader and was always jealous of Shaq. But now the anwer is clear.
For the first time in 11 years, the Lakers have failed to make the playoffs.
The Miami Heat, on the other hand, under Shaq's leadership, have the second best record in the league.Comment
