He got lucky getting a chance vs Miami the NBA could take that vs KOBE CP3 DWIGHT maybe being that Finals match up which chances the debate on Kobe today if he has maybe 6-7 rings and he beats Bron. Stop it with that Duncan love lol homie was barely better than KG player for Player.

Who cares? Both players are over rated trash.

A story you guys should look into... Anthony Carter's agent forgetting to submit his clients papers to exercise his player option after the 2002-03 season. That single action had a domino effect that changed the history of the Lakers, Clippers, the Heat, and the NBA as a whole. The effect of that one mistake let the Heat sign Elton Brand (clippers matched) which led to Lamar Odom, which lead to Shaq, which lead to a Heat title, which lead to a Heat rebuild that spawned the Labron / Bosh / Wade era. Fascinating story if you do a deep dive on it. One mistake by a dumb agent lead to 3 NBA titles and a 4 year dynasty.

This is super interesting but why does Anthony Carter leaving LA make LA in a weaker position to retain the rest of their talent? Was he like a glue guy on the court or in the locker room or just really good friends with Shaq? I mean the big dominoe is Shaq in this situation and it seems like LA needed to decide between Kobe and Shaq since both of them kinda hated each other off the court at the time. It is wonderful actually heartwarming that they made up before he passed away due to such an unfortunate unforseen accident

Man shut up dwight has been solid center, he has averaged a double double his whole career. Lakers organization the first time ruined his reputation and it didn't help that lakers legend himself called him soft as he always does to other teammates when the lakers struggle. Dwight just couldn't adjust to the offense and as a superstar the lakers should've used him better. He was also injured and no one plays the same injured. He still helped both the lakers and houston rockets to the playoffs. Dwight has never been a locker room cancer everyone who plays with him like him. Kobe was the cancer on that 2013 team as he always was when the lakers struggled. He starts talking down on teammates instead of staying postive. Dwight is still productive literally in 2018 with the Hornets he averaged 17 and 12. Now hes coming in as a key role player who knows what he needs to do with lebron and a.d being the main guys. Lakers will be fine.

You guys know nothing. It was Cleveland's owner's fault it was vetoed, backed up by Mark Cuban - Mavs' owner. Dan Gilbert wrote a letter to Stern - letter is still on ESPN site - that says Lakers are always getting stars (Howard was already projected to join the LAL the next season after the veto) while also evading tax - jealousy and hypocrisy. NBA went on a lockout that year. Then LAL org went down hard right until these couple of years they were still reeling because of the veto. Stern said it was basketball reasons then decided to step down. They ruined Kobe and Lakers.

Its actually insane its been almost a year since Kobe has passed. 2020 was so horrible.

And now Dwight’s back on the Lakers, again.

Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher! The greatest backcourt tandem ever in Lakers History!!!

The script for this video could've been two words: "basketball reasons"

Notice how now (2021-2022) they got both Howard,Melo,Lebron as FA’s.

Respect to Dwight for bouncing back to help the lakers win a title in 2020 for Kobe.

That Chris Paul trade veto makes me more and more frustrated with every day that passes. Thanks a lot David Stern.

Kobe won all his rings With one team, and I Remember when J. WEST played against the Knicks in the FINALS, & when they Got ALCINDOR/ JABBAR FROM THE BUCKS.

None of this really effected the way history will view Kobe Bryant, He is still the 2nd best shooting guard of all time 3rd in scoring, 5 championships and a top 10 player of all time and debatably the Greatest Laker of all time

Jerry Buss was the glue keeping the Lakers in contention. The dude knew how to be an owner: 34 seasons, 17 conference championships, 11 NBA titles. Once Dr. Buss passed away, we could see the collapse coming. Not all children of professional team owners can replicate the success of their parents.

Jeannie did get a ring without her father, thanks to Magic's help though, plus they were motivated to win one for Kobe when he died.

Every January is hard. Rest in power Kobe

I remember when Kobe got injured. He was playing waaay too hard. For a Laker team that would have most likely have been swept in the first round regardless. Kobe was never the same after that Achilles injury. ☹️

"Basketball experts were thrilled.." 😂😂

Hurts as one of the biggest Kobe and Lakers fans, but it is the reality of how it turned out. It was still a blast to see one of the greats of the game.

You think the 2022 Lakers would've learned not to do super teams after the Steve Nash/Dwight Howard disaster.

Well this video tragically did not age well but it also did. 1) The Lakers became champions once again in 2020. And they are contenders as of now. 2) The worst news of all - we lost a legend in Kobe :-(

The most overlooked part of the Lakers downfall was Odom getting shipped off for peanuts. Dude was the ultimate glue guy. A jack of all trades player who fit perfectly with Chucker Bryant because he didn't need plays called for him, could distribute, rebound, block shots, and score efficiently. He also freed up Gasol because they would have two fluid bigs late in games as opposed to Bynum clogging the paint area. Stern really boned the Lakers over.
