First Penny, then Kobe, now Wade...

Kobe and Shaq played together for quite some time before they started to win titles.Texas Longhorns wrote:Kobe was the best thing to happened to Shaq IMO. Wade or Nash wasn't as good as Kobe was around Shaq, but at least he was good enough to get a championship. Maybe Nash can do the same for Shaq one last time.
It wasn't until Phil Jackson took over, did he get BOTH on the same page, for the better of the team.
So, if anything, it's Jackson, that was the best thing to happen to Shaq, if you wanna even go that route...

Kobe was 18, 19, 20 before Jackson took over. It was the combination of Kobe's readiness and Phil Jackson's arrival that sky-rocketed the Lakers and Shaq.

True, but I'm talking about as a player impact. I can't say if Nash will do what Kobe and Shaq did together, but I think that Kobe really played great with Shaq and he probably was the best passer to him.

Yes, Kobe maturing, as well as Shaq doing the same thing, is what changed the duo of Shaq/Wade into a title contending one.Patterns wrote:-= original quote snipped =-

Jackson had a HUGE part, too.

the thing is that he said the exact same thing after he left LA, about wade. also said that about riley.
I'm just waiting for him to proclaim dan'toni as the best coach he has ever played for
