4) Kobe Bryant - Shaquille O'Neal




No. 4 Kobe Bryant - Shaquille O'Neal


CAREER STATS

Kobe Bryant)  PPG- 25.0  RPG- 5.2  APG- 4.7

Shaquille O'Neal)  PPG- 23.7  RPG- 10.9  BPG- 2.3

Without a doubt this duo is my favorite of all time.  Shaq being the most dominant to ever play the game with Kobe who is the greatest scorer of all time next to Jordan.  Both would be the top of their game pretty much in a prime form but not quite.  They were both young and learned how to adapt in the NBA.  The Lakers performed a three peat with three Finals won consecutively.  In 2000 the Lakers beat the Reggie Miller led Pacers in six games.  This was Kobe and Shaq's first title with more to come.  In 2001, the Lakers played the 76er's led by Allen Iverson.  The Lakers would decide the series in five games.  The next year was the easiest for the Lakers when they swept the New Jersey Nets.  Shaq got Finals MVP for each of the series.  Kobe finished his career with LA as its all time leading scorer and number three on the NBA's all time scoring list.  Shaq had finished with four rings and Kobe with five.
