    Well, lets see them play together first but on paper, this is a big deal. Kobe is a superstar and if they can develop Andrew Byrum, this could be a bigger deal than the boston deal. Gasol isn't the level of Garnett but he is extremely talented and he tries to make the players around him better, so this young team is only going to get better. Memphis really dropped the ball, Kwame Brown for Gasol, I know there other players involved but this is the essential. LA must have made a deal with the devil to pull this off. I think they will be up in the top 10. Both are relatively the same age, so if LA works something out they can be Lakers for a longtime, this could be considered one of the most one-sided trade. Consider this, Boston vs. Lakers finals???? It's 1980 all over again.....

    Right now? Last place. They haven't even played together yet!

    Why is Kobe and Shaq number 2 and Magic and Kareem number 3? That's just retarded. Heck, why is Kobe and Shaq in the top 5 (or even top 10) at all?

    Bill Russell and Bob Cousy are definitely better.

    Wilt and Jerry are definitely better.

    Dr. J and Moses are better.

    Tim and Tony are better.

    Get over it!

    Its too early to tell. They have to at least play a few games before we can even think of speculating.

    On another note, I think Garnett and Pierce aren't a duo, they are both forwards and you're missing Allen, its all about the Big Three for the Celtics, you can't count Ray Allen out.

    Same for Bird, Parish and McHale.

    that's a annoying call via fact one have a hoop and the others do no longer yet they lead the league and and so on.My call on kobe and gasol,via fact I even have not considered this adult adult males to play like a collection yet via fact they have a hoop i visit flow with them.My regular duo is:Dirk Nowitzki and LeBron James,that's going to be very very nearly unstopoble,LeBron will bypass to Dirk for a three pointer and Dirk Nowitzki knows a thank you to create his own shot so....Dirk will bypass it to James,for the dunk and for the alleyops so.......super.

    I'm sure there'll be a few more of these questions by next week...

    You're missing Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

    And what about Lebron James and the basketball? haha.

    You cant say because they haven't played a game together yet. And don't try to rank them after the first game. Give them more time.
