No question Shaq was the leader of those championship squads. People question just how great Shaq is, and look what he's done in Miami. Put the big man in the middle, Wade learns to shoot that 15-18 footer, and they go from barely making the playoffs, to possibly the best team in the NBA.

Happy hit it right on the nose. The numbers don't help if you can't get the people around you motivated, and involved in what's going on. I'm sorry to say, but Kobe hung from Shaq's nuts for 3 championship seasons, and now you see who the real "daddy" on those teams was.

I never thought they'd be that bad though. Rudy or Phil would have gotten this team into the playoffs. They still have alot of talent, alot of young guys, and with Vlade back they could have been even better down the stretch. They just went on self-destruct mode when Odom went down. Oh well, a playoff year without the Lakers, how nice it will be.
