There is a big difference my friend with those other star studded teams.. (Portland, Sactown)
1. Alot of the talent was over-paid for, soley to keep them from going to division rivals
2. The players on these teams are there simply for the $$$
Think about this...
The Lakers got Malone AND Payton for less then Portland picked up Sabonis last year.
These guys want to win at all costs.. and with that substantial of a paycut I would say they set their egos aside as well.
P.S... Dont forget the Zen Master himself... Something none of those other teams had.. A competent coach
