Is OK a group considered a group?

OK group is one of the strongest duo in NBA history, so are they considered to be in a group? The answer is definitely not counting.

Why do you say so? Because it's very simple, because when O'Neal came to the Lakers, Kobe was just selected.

In the offseason from 1996 to 1997, the Lakers completed the greatest offseason in their team's history. They first passed a trade in the draft and got Kobe, who had the 13th overall pick from the Hornets. Then he signed the Shark O'Neal for 120 million in 7 years. The OK combination is officially formed.

But they were not a group recruitment, because Kobe was a high school student draft at the time. O'Neal wouldn't have found a rookie high school student to join the group recruitment, right? At that time, Kobe was only a rookie, and he was not qualified to ask the team to find "thighs" for him, so the OK combination was formed only a coincidence.

Because they are not like the famous Celtics, Heat, Cavaliers, and Warriors, they are the finals and championships from the beginning. In the first three years of the team formation, the second round was stopped twice and the Western Conference Finals were shaved twice by the Spurs and Jazz, and swept by the Jazz once by the Jazz Gentleman. It was not until the fourth year that Kobe grew to the best second team and the best first defense player, the Lakers won the championship. And it's not just Kobe growing, but O'Neal is growing, because he has just finished his rookie contract when he was in the Lakers. In the first year of winning the OK group, O'Neal was elected as the regular season MVP, the best team, the scoring champion, and the finals MVP. These data also show the process of OK grouping together, so OK grouping is not considered a group.
