They are spectacular, but I still consider Shaq the MAIN piece, I am not saying Kobe wasnt important at all, I am not saying that Kobe had nothing to do with those rings, I am just saying that Shaq was the LEADER of that team. Well Kareem was probably a bad example, and I'll stick with my first statement when I said most, I stated the ALL thing at the end because I wasnt thinking. Hes getting the credit, but as I stated above, Shaq was the one that was the leader at the time, I cant put it much simpler than that. I also dont hate Kobe Bryant. Well if you put this way then you might as well include Robert Horry and Derek Fisher, but in my opinion, I see Shaq as the main piece, Kobe as the 2nd all-star (just as Gasol is for the Lakers), in terms of percentages, I'd say Shaq was a 30, Kobe 25, Phil 20, role players 25.
