These are two of the most iconic teams in NBA history featuring some of the best players the game has ever seen 먹튀검증사이트. But what would happen if Shaq, Kobe and Fisher square off against LeBron, Wade, and Bosh? How big of an impact will the role players (Fox, Horry, Grant, Battier, Chalmers, Haslem) play in this? And can the Filipino Jackson go toe to toe with Phil Jackson?

It’s often said that the 2001 Lakers are arguably the “most dominant team in NBA history”. Well, I’ve yet to hear an argument against that statement. That Lakers team were a career-defining game from Allen Iverson away from going unbeaten in the playoffs, and had to settle for a 15-1 record. Nearly as unbelievable as that record was their point differential.

The Lakers had a +13 point differential in the playoffs. Shaq and Kobe were simply unstoppable during this championship run:

2001 Playoffs:

Shaq: 30.4 PPG (56% FG), 15.4 RPG, 3.2 APG, 2.4 BPG, 0.4 SPG

Kobe: 29.4 PPG (47% FG), 7.3 RPG, 6.1 APG, 0.8 BPG. 1.6 SPG

Do me a favor and re-read those stats again. Then combine that with Derek Fisher shooting 52% from 3-point territory (including 75% during the Western Conference Finals) for the entire playoffs,

Rick Fox averaging 10/5/4/2 and played incredible defense, Horace Grant and Robert Horry tag-teaming the power forward position to combine for 12/12/3/2/2. This means they received incredible production out of every position, and made it nearly impossible for teams to even attempt to slow down the Shaq/Kobe show. This Laker squad had excellent balance to go along with their unstoppable talent.
