Kobe hasn't played without Shaq, he wont know whats up when he has to shoot 50 times a game and still loses by 20 points.
| 1995-96 | 60 | 22 | .732 |
| 1994-95 | 57 | 25 | .695 |
| 1993-94 | 50 | 32 | .610 |
| 1992-93 | 41 | 41 | .500 |
208-120 doesn't look too bad of a record for Shaq without Kobe, does it? Especially considering 92-93 was his rookie year and the Magic was the #1 turnaround team in the league that year. Shaq makes people stars, ask Penny. He makes his teamates better, ask Nick Anderson or Robert Horry or anyone that has played with him.
Can't say the same for Kobe.
