LOS ANGELES To win a championship in the N.B.A., a team almost always needs at least one transcendent player.But the championship journey will also depend on how well a team's role players do their jobs.The Lakers, with 17 titles, know this well.Would they have won in 2010 without Metta Sandiford-Artest, or in 2002 without Robert Horry? Shaquille O'Neal, who won three championships for the Lakers with Kobe Bryant, often talks about the importance of the others the players who aren't stars.
