There was an article on Insidehoops.com that talked about the possibilty, however remote, of Mj coming to the Kings via trade or via permission from the Wiz to opt out of his contract. I know it sounds like a pipe dream, but can you imagine next year's western conf. finals if this happened? It would be like the entire history of the NBA had been building up to this one series. It would form the greatest matchup of all time (name one that was better), and give MJ one last shot at glory and to prove once again that Kobe can't touch his greatness. Bibby and Jordan would be the ultimate clutch tandem. And did i mention the ratings? The league's most popular team and it's most popular player (ever) join forces against the team everybody outside of L.A. loves to hate. If MJ can accept the reality that the Wiz are doomed and join the Kings, i would probably have a wet dream every single night until the western finals are over!(JK)

the Lakers barely won this year-add the greatest player ever to this team, and there's no question they'd win. Kobe's a helluva player, but he's crap next to MJ.

i don't think that it will happen either, but it's fun to speculate about. The Kings may be able to beat the Lakers this year without MJ, with him they could be one of the greatest teams ever.

Yeah that's why everyone hates Shaq- who's only in this league cause he's so much bigger than everyone else. Kobe is someone I think most people can at least respect because he got where he is on skill, hard-work, and determination, but Shaq got here on being big. He's the reason i cheer for the Kings and not the Lakers. Remember when he said that his Lakers would kill Jordan's Bulls? Ridiculous! Not in a million years would that happen. Jordan's Bulls are in the rare, elite class of great teams like the 85-86 Celtics or the 86-87 Lakers. People like to say stuff like, " he has the right to be cocky- he's a three time champion". So is Kobe and before him Jordan and Pippen, and none of them ever say stuff like that. You guys want to know why people dislike the Lakers, he's why. Most of the Kobe hatred probably stems from the fact that he's Shaq's teammate.
