Not long ago, the media was saying that the '01 Lakers were the most dominant team in playoff history.
But now, their evaluation has turned into: "They are powerful enough to even bring out the best Roger!"
Roger's prediction came true; almost all the media said this the day after the finals ended.
Perhaps these media outlets really wanted to praise the strength of the Lakers' Big3, just as people always said that Charles Barkley in 1993 brought out the best Jordan. Undoubtedly, this is a recognition of the "Flying Pig" Jazz rather than a mockery.
But Shaq, Kobe, and Hill felt humiliated by this kind of "praise."
The three of them together are only able to bring out the best Roger?
What's the point in that!
Jerry Buss also felt humiliated; he spent the most money, maintained three max-salary players, but only got a Western Conference Championship.
