     I wish I could dismiss the Lakers as Warwick has done, but I think that 
Kobe and Shaq, given a decent supporting cast, CAN do it again and again.  
I'm no hoops technician, but it seems to me that Jackson's system doesn't 
require a real point guard.  Kobe is one outside shooter, and outside 
shooters aren' t all that rare in the NBA.   Shaq is invincible inside, and 
is just good enough from outside 5' to be really dangerous.  A second decent 
rebounder (a la Rodman) and you have the Next Bulls.
     I wonder if Tiger Woods has considered being a Celtic.  Naw, he wouldn't 
take the pay cut.
