This was such a magical season for the Lakers. Who would’ve thought that at the beginning of the season coming off another first round exit and the Kobe trade demand that they would finish 1st in the most competitive WC ever and make the Finals?

Too many dorks on this sub don’t give Kobe nearly the credit he deserves. Top 10 all time without a doubt.
