&lt;center&gt;Kobe Bryant-Pau Gasol&lt;br&gt;
Championship seasons: 2008-09; 2009-10&lt;br&gt;
Historically speaking: The Lakers’ championships with Gasol inside were most noted for cementing Bryant’s legacy and allowing him to step away from O’Neal’s shadow. But they also demonstrated Gasol’s value, with the Lakers defeating the Celtics and Magic.
