    For the breakup of the Lakers.

    Who's seen this show? It's on ESPN Classic channel, and I'm not sure if I can catch it tomorrow. It's already been aired (it's from 2005) If anyone has seen it, do you remember the top 5 reasons? Thanks

    This was on a while ago. I think I actually saw this last year. But anyways, if you are expecting to learn something, then you will most likely be disappointed. It just basically states everything everyone already knows already.

    Yeah I've seen this and its pretty much like Brian said. Everything in it is common knowledge to any diehard Laker fan.

    Yeah it kinda does, but in a sense I think they're saying that as the team leader Shaq should of done more to keep the team together and focused on what's more important.

    Yeah I remember watching this episode. It was just a re-hash about the Kobe v. Shaq feud. None of the ideas were original, and I was surprised they left out one of the biggest factors for Shaq wanting out ... Kupchak made it clear Shaq was expendable to the public.

    This was significant because Pat Riley was strongly considering returning to the Laker organization. Kupchak spoke to Riley about the Shaq and Kobe situation and Kupchak mentioned they were considering trading Shaq. The rest is history and Shaq ended up with Riley in Miami.

    I always wondered why that wasn't in it. I remember hearing about him saying it on ESPN. I knew it was the beginning of the end for the dynasty- you can't say that about your star! C'mon, Kupchak!
