Alston was a pretty decent replacement for Nelson (who was in All-Star shape that year, before getting injured). The Magic had a good coaching and bench that year.

All those players are jist role players, good role players and that's it, Lakers weren't stacked, Kobe was just insanee in these series and that's why they won in 5 games, he averaged over 32 points per game and 8 assists. Maybe only Pau was teammate who helped him a little bit more, bit still, I think he averaged only 16 points in those finals soo... Lakers were good, but Kobe did 90% of the job.

Pau was also extremely inefficient in that game soo it's not Kobe who played bad in that game 7, but all of them because that was insanee game defensively all the time.

      Idk if you were watching the NBA back then or not but this Orlando team was actually built on three point shooting, one of the first teams structured that way. No one was running 4 out with a team full of shooters and one post before this, other than the Suns with Nash and Dantoni.

      Also on feeding Dwight on the low post, it definitely worked. They were competitive because of it. Which is why I hate that he got a reputation for not being good at it and people wanted him to play like non superstar bums like DJ and just set screens all game

Dwight had 3 guys plus on him ever time he touched the ball. All these other centers talk and aint carry a franchise yet.

    David Stern Requested That The Magic Take Rafer Skip To My Lou Alston Out, Replaced Him With Jameer Nelson. Rewatch When Skip Played, As Opposed To Jameer Nelson’s Style Of Play? If Rafer Alston Stayed In, Not Only Would He Have Won A Title, It’s Would Have Bought More Glory To Street Ball.

    Man I swear if vangudy had played Gortot on the floor with Howard that shit would've went completely different. Dwight Howard was a fucking monster and they had to play a lineup of damn near 4 seven footers to stop him. He tried his best but Gasol, Bynum, Artest, Odom and kobe were too tall of a team for him to beat.

    People act like the Lakers were stacked but looking back he did carry them. Pau was soft and wouldn't have been a hall of Famer without Kobe. Bynum had great potential but not great production those two years, Odom was good but not consistent and Fisher was average and they had good role players but Kobe did carry them

    Love prime Dwight but if you swapped him out for prime Shaq, do they win more games and maybe even take the series? I know Bynum & Gasol did a great job on him but a part of me also feels he was somewhat passive & settled for the foul. I feel Prime Shaq would have dunked a lot more of those opportunities that Dwight went up weak for. I could be wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️
