They are good becuase Kobe is the best at taking a team that has nothing and making it something.(IF dwayne wade wasnt hurt he'd be almost as good, even with a fat Shaq) ...But yes the current Laker team is good. Thats because they know how to play WITH a superstar, instead of trying to show him up (like they always try to do on the Cavs)Take teams that arent that good? So what you are trying to tell me is that Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher, Luke Walton & Andrew Bynum arn't good players? Hmm really?
Kobe is surrounded by better players than Lebron is hands down...
