So now we are stooping to taking away titles from Kobe because he was young and on a team with a star like Shaq in his prime.
Lets be fair here and take away MJs titles because without Pippen he could never got won a single one.
So as much as you want to give 100% credit to Shaq for those titles, Im willing to give Pippen the same amount because without him MJ gets 0 titles.
Fact remains.... KOBE played an integral role in winning those 3 rings with Shaq.
