Re: Jerry West on Lakers: "They are the most talented team out there" <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chad Ford: If you had been in L.A., who would you have chosen, Kobe or Shaq? Jerry West: "That's really an unfair question because I would have never wanted to see those two part. I just think there was a way to make that work and it didn't work. The Lakers have a dynamic owner in Jerry Buss, okay. He's a dynamic owner. He's a risk taker, and I have great respect for him. They are a very talented young team by the way. I think they are the most talented team out there, to be honest with you, because they have two stars on their team, and they've got a very good young player in Andrew Bynum. They're big. If they can learn to defend a little bit better they are going to be very, very difficult team to beat in the playoffs. If you look at the other teams out there, there's a lot of good teams in this league. But, I don't see one dominant team in this league. I really don't. I don't think Miami's a dominant team. I think they're really good, unbelievably well coached, but they're getting a little long in the tooth, too. If they have anything left in the tank they're going to be there again at the end of the year because of their experience and Shaquille's presence on the court makes it a lot easier for other players to get a lot of free shots. I know that."</div>

They might not be able to play good team ball at all times, but I really believe they are the most talented team in the league.As for the Lakers, I have been saying that this team is looking like a watered down version of the 1996 Bulls. They have their two scorers and the all-star talents in Kobe and Lebron, and they have all the role players around them to fit specific roles. I really believe they have assembled this team the right way.
Re: Jerry West on Lakers: "They are the most talented team out there" Well comin from Jerry it is a massive complament. I agree in as much as that there isnt a dominant team in the 'L. Anyone could win it all this year! - Cept the sonics
