This is the worst take I’ve ever seen. The goat PNR guard with one of the goat PNR bigs, while having a fantastic passing big in Gasol in the low post, plus Kobe, who can iso and buy a bucket at any time or play off ball?

Pick and roll, pick and pop, toss it to the post, iso. You have every single weapon and cannot double or focus on a single player. You have to have bigs on your team just to defend against Gasol and Dwight.

Then Dwight is a 4x DPOY who realistically has carried and anchored a top defense — and even back then he could stretch to the perimeter. Kobe and Artest are elite defensive wings, and Gasol has always been a fine rim protector. This team is a perfect fit together on both ends of the floor.
