Which Laker are you?

When a NBA team wins a championship, a championship ship year video compilation is created by the respective team and sold to the public. My favorite championship video dedication is of the Lakers' 2000 championship year. This was the year when they had Shaq, Kobe, Glen Rice, Ron Harper, Brian Shaw, Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Phil Jackson, and many others.

There's one sequence that imbedded itself in my mind. The Lakers were in the midst of a come back in which all the role players contributed and the team would win. In the commentary, Rick Fox shared something along these lines:

We know we have two superstars (Shaq+Kobe) and this team is centered around those two guys. But it's up to us to be a Shaq or a Kobe for a few minutes of every game. No, we can't keep it up for more than a few minutes...but it doesn't matter. We give it our all in the short time we're given, and do what the teams needs us to do. We're role players, but we have our moments to shine like superstars.

You don't need to be a Shaq. You don't need to be a Kobe. It's perfectly fine to be a Rick Fox.
