And that was when Shaq was at his most dominant, even more than the 2000 season.

Fisher went crazy from 3 that whole postseason. I think he shot over 50 percent the entire playoffs. It may have been the Spurs series, or the Kings, where he was hitting 60-70 percent of his 3s.
I have never seen anything like that in basketball. I think I underrated them at the time, but just thinking about it, that is the best basketball team performance I have ever seen.

Lebron has been on an attack mode since the season started, but unfortunately, Wade hasn't. Wade gradually becoming a 100 % healthy, but he needs to start off strong in the 1st quarter and remain consistent to end of the 4th quarter like the King. If he can do that, then the King and Flash can dominate the league like Kobe and Shaq.

Naw you right. Shaq was out of control. The only thing that stopped him were the refs. Otherwise he would have dropped 45 a game with ease. Imagine if dude hit his free-throws
Kobe was athletic, young and crazy skilled. He was a before Team was too good.
lebron and wade rank pretty high as one of the most potent duos of all time. But there basically the same as the jordan, pippen duo. except the roles are reversed. their problem is they lack the horace grant/dennis rodman. banger inside. chris bosh doesn't really fit the formula(it be like kukuc without rodman) plus wade's health is always a concern. so i can't rank them higher than jordan/pippen.
shaq/kobe were monsters but they broke up before we got a chance to experience both of them in their prime together. I'd rather have magic and kareem unless i could get a young shaq with a mature kobe. But if they had stayed together they would've been the best one.
another duo that rarely gets mentioned in Duncan/Robinson. that would've been ill to see more years of those two.

I dont know , i thought kobe was kind of in his prime...
I mean his game hasn't changed THAT much, its just that he has lost athleticism.
He is somewhat smarter, but he can still alienate with the best of them.
