None of those guys were champions until Hakeem took them there, and only Horry went on to contribute to a championship team (as a role player playing a lesser role than when he played in Houston).

I just think that Laker team gets under-rated in terms of its depth and talent. When Kobe had a bad night in the Finals - particularly in game 7 vs. Boston in 2010 when he went 6-for-24 from the field - the Lakers still could win (and they won that game with great team contributions). Hakeem was so individually dominant in the Finals - particularly in '95.
