Penny Hardaway & Kobe have collectively played 13 NBA seasons w/o Shaq..13 seasons b/t the 2 and zero (0) playoff series wins. I'm not talking about championships. I'm talking about a simple playoff series.
The Orlando team wasn't dismantled when Shaq left. They still had a 31 yr old Horace Grant, Penny 25, Nick Anderson 28, Dennis Scott 28 (3 point threat), Ronnie Seikaly 31, Brian Shaw 30, Darrell Armstrong 28, and Gerald Wilkins 33.
Penny's #'s dropped off a bit w/o Shaq, especially in FG% and in Asts, and a bit in steals. However his numbers were still very solid. That team was still a talented and deep team.
So we know that Penny and Kobe haven't played for "bad teams" for 13 seasons. For the rest of the remaining 12 seasons the odds are very slim that in 12 yrs they had "bad teams" every yr. For one Kobe has the greatest coach of all time in Phil Jackson.
Are we sure that Kobe's game is efficient in regards to winning games as the focal point on a team?
