The Lakers proved that they're far from good enough to become a dynasty... What
happens when their old players, and they have a lot of them, retire? Kobe and
Shaq aren't going to be able to do it by themselves just as Pippen and Jordan
before them couldn't. It all comes down to having the role players there capable
enough to help you to the promised land.
