Kobe was 2nd fiddle to Shack during the Lakers 3-peat. Coined phrase LCS = Last Center Standing
He always thought he should have won the MVP IN 2004-05 over Steve Nash (Shaq finished 2nd)
A closer look shows Nash deserved it. The year before the Suns won 29 games then Nash arrives they win 62.
The year before Shaq arrives the Heat wins 42 then 59 in 2004-2005.
Shaq was +17 - Nash was +33.
