I hope Orlando.

It means Lebron will be more likely to stay in cleveland.

Also... i honestly hate Kobe Bryant. I think he's way overrated. I think it's ridicilious that people place him above the logo and Magic Johnson.

Heck I think you're crazy if you'd take Kobe in his prime over Shaq in his prime when building your team.

Kobe is just boosted up because their are so few great shooting guards because it's the easiest position in the NBA.  More talented guys are shifted to the Point or SF.

MJ, West and Kobe are exceptions.  SG is for your one dimensional players who can only score.

Wow, full of fail. Kobe is one of the greatest players of the era. Is he Magic or The Logo (you should capitalize that, BTW)? No, but he's the shadow of Jordan. The most amazing player of the early 2000's. Underrate him all you want but without him, Shaq doesn't win those titles. Without Shaq, Kobe doesn't win those titles.

And obviously, you'll take a dominant big man like Shaq over Kobe in a draft unless you're retarded. Dominant big men are a rarity. The same way you'd take Wilt over Robertson. It's a no-brainer.

That doesn't mean that Kobe is overrated. It just means that he's the key piece to a championship puzzle. A small man doesn't win championships without a good to great surrounding cast.

If the dominant bigman is more valuable... is he not the better player? 

If only a retarded person would take Kobe over Shaq... how the hell is Kobe a better player then Shaq?

Kobe is in the top 50 of all time... but he's a lot lower in the rankings then people put him.

Most people currently consider him 2nd in PG and one of the best 5 players to ever play the game.  That's ridiculious.
