Mailman to Play With Lakers

So the Lakers will have Payton at the point, Kobe at either the off guard or small forward, Karl Malone at power forward and Shaq at center. Is there even a reason to watch the upcoming basketball season? All the experts and theorists can talk all they want about whether these guys will have good chemistry and if they can play together, but the fact of the matter is this is the best accumulation of starting talent any team has had in my lifetime. Granted there won't be enough shots to go around...and all we'll hear the whole season is about so and so being upset he isn't getting the ball enough...but when it comes to crunch time in the playoffs, no one will beat this team (barring significant injuries).
