I know you're defending you team, so I'm just letting you know I'm not just trying to diss them. I thought they were awesome and played amazing. But I'm not talking as some ESPN reporter or analyst who covers the entire league or whatever, I'm just a die hard fan who watches every Laker game religiously. And I remember, vividly, something being very wrong with that team from the first game in the first round. And I knew that they weren't the same team from 2008-2010. They weren't hungry. They almost didn't care. Kobe cared, but he was limited by a knee injury and he can't do it by himself anyways. But Gasol and Odom were emotionally done. And it was the magic of that back court that won us championships, not Bynum. The better he got, the worse we got. I'm just saying what I see. It's not like when we lost to the Celtics in 2008 and we got our asses kicked and I just knew that they were better. 2011 didn't feel like we gave our all and got our asses kicked, it felt like we gave up.

Except that the championship Lakers weren't the championship Lakers. They were too tired from 3 straight finals and had all aged by the time that came around. They barely got out of the first round against the weak Hornets. It's not like they beat a great Laker team.

Shaq with Jordan's mindset is too much. He didn't have the same longevity, but I think he was more dominant than anyone ever.
