Kobe never got the credit he deserved when the Lakers won those championship. He had just as much and in some cases, more to do with the Lakers winning that last championship. Shaq gets the credit against Portland because he had the big dunk to put the Lakers up in game seven against Portland. Shaq had a great game but Kobe lead them back from a huge deficit. I guess what I am saying is Kobe was not a complimentary piece he was just as important as Shaq.
That is why Shaq and Kobe got spilt up. Shaq couldn't handle sharing the spot light. Kobe no longer wanted to play second fiddle.
