Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum
Los Angeles Lakers, 2008-2012
This group was to set off a new Dynasty for the Los Angeles Lakers after the breakup of Shaq and Kobe.
Pau Gasol was brought over in a “I still love you, Lakers” trade with Jerry West and Bynum was the young phenom ready to bring back the days of a true Center in the NBA. Yes, this group made it to three NBA Finals, winning two of them, but imagine if…Bynum was 100 percent during that run and if he could have played with a level head.
He would actually still be in the league now, Gasol would still be in Purple & Gold and Kobe would have passed Jordan (rings) by now. They had a great run together, but it could have been so much more.
