exactly and if you put the ball in their hands they get hot and score 40 points i like lebron hes my favorite player and Wade is one of my favorite players too. But face it they have the ball atlest 40% of the time to win.

I mean the Lakers can win without Kobe, but when hes sitting they ethier try to hard or its game over cause of lack of talent.

They can win a game, not a championship though.

Agreed.

Look what happened after Shaq left. If Kobe leaves, it'll be a very heavy blow to the team.

It's same for every team. If their best player on the team leaves, their team would fall. For example, no Rondo, the Celtics will slightly fall, since they still have Peirce and Allen. But still.....

That depends. Some teams rely on a combination of two or three players to lead them, others mostly rely on one player to see them through. Without Rondo, the Celtics will definitely be hurt but not as much as the Lakers would if Bryant went.

Right, the Celtics have a good all around team. But since Rondo is their YOUNG star. And their big three is old and not performing. Their franchise will fall in the next years.

I think if Ray Allen left they'd fall apart, even if Rondo is still healthy. Stay alert for Rasheed Wallance and Kenrick Perkins. They both have 5 technical fouls, and if get 6 get suspended a game.

Depends. Though Boston's star players are aging, and Rondo is their young upcoming star. Whether or not he captains the Celtics eventually, all depends. Unless the big three is replaced by someone or some people who can lead the team, we'll be seeing Boston's franchise going down low again.

Yeah, but at least they can get good draft picks when the big three are gone.

Fun fact: 78% of the time, the team that wins Game 1 wins the whole thing. Also, teams coached by Phil Jackson are 47-0 in series in which said team has won Game 1. So is anyone going to switch over to the Lakers now? =P
