The main theme in The Last Season

There is one main theme in The Last Season, the first theme there is no "I" in the word team. We learned that there is no "I" team when the feud between Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant began. Shaq and Kobe were two of the most talented players in the league, and this one of the reasons why they did not get along with each other. Since they are both superstars, they thought they should be the focal point of the team. When Shaq thought Kobe was turning into a "ballhog", he waqs not happy. Kobe thought that he deserved to get the ball more, and Shaq often confronted Kobe about his continuous shooting. When Sahq and Kobe were not on the same page, and did not want to work together, the Lakers were a good team, but they were not championship contenders. When Shaq and Kobe were on the same page, the Lakers were definately a force to be reckoned with and the best team in the league. We learned that Shaq and Kobe, two of the best players, when working together, made the Lakers better than any other team. When they did not pass the ball and get along, the Lakers were an average team.
