The Lakers just won their third straight championship. Shaq is the most dominant force in basketball since Wilt Chamberlain. Kobe is the best player under 25 in the world. Phil Jackson's triangle offense is perfectly suited to their talents.

Three titles in a row. Can we call it a dynasty now?

Shaq in the 2001 playoffs was the most dominant individual performance in NBA history. He was just unstoppable. Nobody could guard him.

It's a dynasty. Three in a row isn't a fluke. Shaq and Kobe together are the most talented duo since Jordan and Pippen.

Kobe's growth from 'Shaq's sidekick' to legitimate co-star has been amazing to watch. The kid is going to be an all-time great.
