Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and the New Lakers Stars: A Legacy Reborn

At Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. Of the many things that can be done in the Los Angeles Lakers, there will never be one as complicated as matching the two myths gold and purple from the beginning of the 21st century.

Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura shined greatly. ‘La Ceja’, in an underrated season, destroyed the game with 37 points (13/25 TC) and 15 rebounds. The Japanese forward was also decisive with 36 – a career record – (12/18 TC and 5/7 T3) and no losses. The first couple to score 35 or more in a game since 2003, with Kobe and Shaq.

Anything similar to Kobe and Shaq will already be out of the ordinary. They achieved three rings (2000-2001-2002) and formed a couple full of charisma.
