Your post itself shows that Kobe didn't have as good of a nucleus around him. </div></div>

And my post was made when? I dont think Kobe made any comments about his nucleus post-game, I'm referring to the last couple years, when he was whining about the Lakers roster. I don't see how when everybody was picking the Lakers before hand, it can turn into poor Lakers don't have anything but Kobe. Most of the same people saying that were the ones talking how the Celtics couldn't stop Kobe and about how great the Lakers were playing in the playoffs (in the better western conference) and how horrible the Celtics were (in the lousy eastern conference)
