I am not a big NBA fan (I like real basketball) but I cannot help but gloat over the Lakers downfall. Shaq is the impact player in the NBA today. He may be getting old but he can still dominate the game like nobody else. Kobe without Shaq is little more then a flashy high scoring player who will not exert any positive leadership on the team. Unlike MJ, Kobe is a divider not a leader. The Lakers are headed for post MJ Bulls territory. I love it.
