The season hasn't started yet and Kobe and Shaq are sniping at each other. Karl and Gary have got to be kicking themselves for choosing LA, what have they gotten themselves into.
I have always found the Kobe/Shaq Lakers boring to watch. It's either a clear out for Kobe or lob it into Shaq for the dunk/jump hook/lay up.
It might be nice to think about what a Kobe/Shaq/Karl/Gary team could do, but there's still only one basketball on the court.
