Kobe is the driving force on that team. Shaq is a beast, he does whatever he feels in the paint and can't no one stop him. But Shaq has lost his leadership qualities in the past years, he can control a game but he can't rally the team when they need that boost to win a close game. On the other hand Kobe can, he'll take over and start setting people up or just take over the 4th quarter alone.

Kobe's stats last year were sick, he coulda easily been the league MVP. He owned both shaq and duncan in every category except boards and blocks.
