Maybe the Lakers don't watch the old NBA footage of the 90's. If they did, they might have seen how the Olajuwon-Pippen-Barkley triumvirate turned out. Olajuwon ended with his 2 rings, and Scottie had his six- all acquired before he or Barkley made it to Houston. What a disaster that was.
Then again, maybe they were watching footage of Payton playing in the finals against Jordan in the '96 finals. And pictures of Malone playing in the '97 and '98 finals. And somehow they figured there's no difference physically between a man in his late 20's and one in his late 30's.
looks like L.A.'s getting another ring this year. What do you have to say now?
