Although I consider this lakers team very weak for a championship team, does anyone think the shaq-kobe teams were any better than the kobe-gasol-odom team? I actually think this team is better overall, which says something about how weak those shaq-kobe teams were

Do you really see Gasol and Bynum stopping Shaq? 


I could see them sweeping.

shaq was overated. I believe bynum, gasol, and odom would get him in foul trouble so fast he wouldn't know what hit him

The Lakers would be overmatched.


Shaq was unstoppable.  If Perk can knock those guys into a shell, imagine what Shaq in his prime would do. 


Shaq was not overrated.  This decade belongs to him and Duncan, just like the one before belonged to Jordon, before that Bird and Magic.

I didn't know once in a lifetime players could be overrated. Hate to say it, but Lakers Shaq will never be duplicated, truely an amazing talent back then.

The first Lakers team of the three-peat, the 67 win team, that was the best Lakers team.

The second best Lakers team was the 15-1 playoffs run team. That was the following season I think.

This Lakers squad is the worst of the four title teams.

And the Dream would kill this lakers front court as well. 

But the Shaq of those Lakers teams was in his prime.  More experience then the Shaq in Orlando.
