wait so you don't win 72 games in a season by yourself?
Rodman to me was the lynchpin for that second threepeat. He was exactly what the Bulls needed. Defense and rebounding without the slightest care of getting the ball. That is the difference between he and Kobe. Jordan's teammates acquiesced much easier to him than Kobe's. The chemistry has been the lacking piece for the Lakers teams and I imagine Kobe has some to do with that. His ego is huge but it matches Jordan's. His will to win matches Jordan. He just had teammate's whose ego's matched his Kobe/Jordan which Jordan didn't have to deal with. He was the man and nobody questioned it.
Basketball is an alpha male sport. Jordan's Bulls were incredibly well built. Phil Jackson is the greatest NBA coach ever (yes better than ol Red). Kerr, Paxson, Kukoc, and Hodges were supreme shooters to space the floor. Rodman, wennington, and Grant did the dirty work without caring about touches, Pippen was perhaps the best second banana ever (until Kobe was to Shaq), and then there was the greatness that was Michael Jordan.
Kobe's Lakers? He and Shaq battled under Del Harris. It wasn't until Phil showed up and got them to work together that they had success. The team though was fractured and Shaq was dumped for very little. That is why Kobe had success with Pau because he was productive without the ego. That is why the Lakers struggled with Dwight this year. Chemistry is important in all sports but in a sport where 1 guy can have an effect on a game unlike other sports it becomes extremely important.
