Under the new leadership in Phil Jackson and his sage ways, the Los Angeles Lakers were once again the dominant force in the NBA. Kobe Bryant was starting to come into his own, but the real story was Shaq.

The Shaq and Kobe duo proved to be too much for opponents. The Lakers won three titles in a row and O’Neal won Finals MVP each year. During the 2001 playoffs, the team went 15-1 only losing one game in the Finals. That was good enough to give them the best postseason record in NBA history. Paradise didn’t last forever, however.
