This is so interesting to revisit. At the time that Lakers team seemed like an uber team and the whole thing combusted almost immediately when everyone got hurt. Now no one ever talks about it.

If they were all in prime and healthy might’ve been the best team in nba history

Well, firstly, I think people do definitely still talk about it as the go-to example of a failed superteam. But also, I think we overrated how good this team was on paper, looking back on it. They had no bench and no starting 3. Playing Nash, Kobe, and Jamison is the recipe for a scoring bonanza from the rest of the league's perimeter players. MWP wasn't good anymore either. And Dwight + Gasol is a clunkier fit than I think we realized. Nash and Kobe is a bit weird personality wise too, as is Kobe and Dwight. It would have taken a master coach to harness this, and it probably would have taken more than a season.

The Dwight/Kobe thing got so bad that even if the rest of the pieces worked, which they didn’t, they still would have sucked. And even guys who don’t like Kobe were supportive of him on that one lmfaoooo

This is when Zach was way too obsessed with defense, to his own admission, for the record, hence the comment about Dwight Howard being the second best player in the league two years ago

in 2011 he was the second best player in the league

@@elitheeconomist5674 He was definitely not. LeBron and Wade were far above the rest. CP3 and Dirk were also pretty clearly better than Dwight imo
Jalen was right. LaBron will never play for the Lakers, and Kobe will never play for anyone but the Lakers.

The year that could’ve been. People bash it now but 9/10 people instantly had them in the Finals! This team with Phil could’ve been a lot different. D’Antoni was garbage at managing Howard and Pau on the court.

This team was an embarrassment, even more of a fiasco than the 2004 Lakers.
