Kobe Bryant might have won five championships in his career, but perhaps the two of his most important titles were the once he had in 2008 and 2009. With Bryant clearly the talisman of the side, Kobe’s greatness rose to new heights at the time.
While the Lakers weren’t as star-studded as the three-peat Lakers, they did have one of the best forwards in the league in Pau Gasol. Gasol, who made his debut with the Grizzlies, absolutely transformed the Lakers’ fortune.
Ever since his blockbuster trade, the Purple and Gold, who were barely a playoff contender, became title challengers. With the duo of Kobe and Pau donning the Laker uniform, the franchise won two more championships and the glory days of the team were back for good.
