Oh, I wasn't bashing their skill level. I'll even admit that Kobe has plenty of skill, as does GP. It's shooq that has no skill. In fact, he's the focal point of my hatred for the fakers. Talentwise, he's near the bottom of the barrell and every single derogatory comment I make stems from that. It's players like him that disgrace the game of basketball.
At the same time, you can't honestly think that Phil Jackson can keep all four on the court at the same time for long stretches. Even then, there's no guarantee they can work together in a real game situation. It's been said to death, but it's just preseason. It may seem like they can work together now, but we have yet to see how they'll respond under competitive conditions. The true debate here is that I'm betting it won't work and you're betting that it will.
