Shaq and Kobe's Three-Peat
The combustible pairing of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant produced three straight Lakers championships.
Shaquille O'Neal's dominant post scoring and Kobe Bryant's perimeter shot creation gave the Los Angeles Lakers, coached by Phil Jackson, one of the most talented duos of the early 2000s.
Despite a well-documented rivalry between the two stars off the court, the pairing produced three consecutive championships from 2000 through 2002, with O'Neal winning Finals MVP all three times.
The partnership eventually dissolved amid public disagreements, and O'Neal was traded to Miami in 2004 -- but the three-peat remains one of the most statistically dominant short-run stretches by a duo in league history.
