04 Kobe isn't 21 Bron, he's AD in this situation

04 Shaq and 21 Bron better comparison. Shaq recruited Malone and Payton, and Bron clearly got RW

Even then it's still a poor comparison. Kobe didn't have injury issues and Shaq was just 31. You had two top MVP candidates pretty much guaranteed, which is a lot more than you can say for this team. Street Clothes and Papa Bron are much much frailer.

On the other hand, you can be pretty sure that Bron and AD will be in sync with each other and aren't going to start fighting or sabotage the team with a rivalry.

this team is older than the 04 team too

04 team had 25 year old Kobe and 26 year old Devean George in the lineup, along with 29 year old D Fish and 24 year old Slava playing major minutes off the bench. Slava started a ton of games too.

AD and Malik Monk are gonna be the only rotation players under 30, and AD is damn near 30.

edit: Looks like got Nunn now too, so there's another under 30 player.
If Nunn is in the rotation in the playoffs that means somebody got hurt.

I forgot what that 04 Laker team even played like, but I remember when those guys joined that team.
