i voted for my lakers against heat. the anticipated matchup of kobe and shaq...
on the other hand it will be pacers scrubs and angry fans vs. detroit headed by Big Ben and 1 hundred thousand gazillion Securities and body guard.
About EJ and Kobe. as i remember and without malice, it was shaq who demanded to trade EJ, Van Exel and even Bryant. Saying they will never win with this crew.
that's why there some issus resurface after Shaq went to Miami remeber Media try to quote he want J-wil and they will trade EJ. its because of Shaq-EJ history.
Kobe somehow get the blame since he replace EJ as lakers shooting guard.

Eddie Jones and Kobe Bryant are close friends actually, when Kobe returned to the States after living in Italy, he and Jones grew up in the same city.
I dont remember anyone forcing Van Exel out, but I do know that he wasnt 100% healthy because he had some kind of injury, and that was a reason why he was traded away. I remember Kobe saying that, or something close to it.

Shaq wanted the lakers to trade for Glen Rice, so they sent eddie and elden to charlotte for him.
NVE got traded because he wanted a big contract.
Eddie and Bryant were good friends.
