That game 7 was amazing. Worst game in NBA Finals history for boxscore lovers I guess, but the way they were fighting with the stakes at their highest was simply amazing. A good game to learn that stats are not everything. And about that Fisher layup, I think I speak for most, if not all Lakers fans at the time, that when he jumped for the layup, we were all like "What the fuck are you doing D- YESSSSSS, WELL DONE DEREK!!!"
Whilst I enjoy the game, you can’t deny it was bad basketball. People assume low scores equal elite defence when in truth it was partially great defence and partially bad offence by tired players and largely unskilled teams
@@hardwoodthought1213 I can absolutely deny it. And I'm not even going to get into the unskilled teams part. Lets just agree we have very different views of basketball, and I'll just say that I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

These videos are incredible, this guy is underrated. The edits on 7:08 and 8:24 are next level 🔥 I also really like that the insane Kobe edit starts at the 8 minute and 24 second mark (8,24) his numbers 👏🏼👏🏼 The title for my favorite TH-cam channel is now a 3-way tie between JxmyHighroller, BigTime and this channel 🤝🏼
As a die-hard Kobe fan and having watched every glimpse of video in every possible way, including his all-time rivalries, this is definitely the best vid about 2010 NBA FINALS, even better than ESPN and the NBA channel itself. You deserve a million subs dude.
I cried when Lakers won game 7. that was such a grind game. def from both sides. kobe playing with a torn ligament. i missed this type of level of basketball
Not sure about the Celtics being 'old' compared to the lakers here. Both Pierce and Kobe were 32, Fisher was 36, Gasol was 30 and Artest and Odom were 31. Bynum was 23 sure but Rondo was 24.
As a lakers fan thank you for this video. I was 14 during that championship and I will never forget it. My emotions are high right now because this was the last great year of lakers for a good while.
You have to give a compliment to the Celtics they went to a very deep playoff run and pushed the lakers to 7 games and theirs were 4 points short for a nba title.
This was such a well put together video I really appreciate it and I love how it highlights for me the day I became a Kobe and lakers fan! Crazy to think that was Almost 15 years ago
this was one of the most evenly matched/difficult series ever. when guys like kobe and ray allen are struggling so much you can just imagine how insane the defense was.
@@BeanSneaksPHIt was because of the injuries and suspensions imo. It's the greatest achievement outta the 3 but to me I agree it's the actual worst finals outta the 3.
Some feedback: Audio quality is perfect, footage is perfect, and pacing is perfect. There's some weird editing choices with the bane voice and the joker voiceover since Jokic is called Joker. A line like 'and then the mamba struck' or 'the Mamba's strike finds its mark. again. and again. and again' could work. 9:11 can have a smoother flow if you swap the order of who you talk about. Since the Celtics won, talk about how Kobe was putting the pressure on and then talk about how Pierce had a 'knockout performance, shooting...'. Kobe throws the first punch, Pierce counters, Celtics win. Solid video that had me excited from the first minute. Well done.
I don't think it's underrated. Both the 09, and especially, 2010 Finals is the reason why Kobe is a mostly consensus top 10 all time player; and at the time elevated Kobe to being top 5 in many all time list by people like Charles Barkley, etc (obviously this is before Kobe's decline post 2010, and LeBron's ascension, etc.).
The all stars are all aging. Perkins was injured. Even Dirk played with a broken finger and produced a masterclass against Miami which had 3HoF players, drafted top 5 in '03 draft.
Kobe was carried by 2 HoF centers that constantly bailed him out among other lakers stars be played with. You know why Kobe will never be top 5? Because he was an arrogant brick chucking narcissist that cared more about his own stats, than the team winning. You’re praising a player that missed more shots than any play ever without even having the most points scored to justify it 🤡 38% chucking idiot.
I loved MJ but never saw him in his prime. I remember being 8 or 9 when I watched this game. I'm from India & basketball ain't really that famous but my dad was a sports junkie. I remember sitting with him early in the morning and watching the game. I didn't understand a thing but I was just in awe of the players. I remember asking my dad who is this 24 guy? And his words were "That's Kobe, the second best player after MJ." Each time I watch basketball it brings back the memories of my old man. I hope he and Kobe are looking down from there.
From the clips of that game 7, this looks like two old head teams that would not take no for an answer. Doing everything they possibly could to get what would probably be their last title. That’s the kind of intensity you love to see. RIP Kobe.
This series was intense! Remember watching it as a kid and just praying to god the lakers somehow pulled thru. Ahh...the last great finals series in my opinion. Hasnt been like one like this since
3:05 this is the excellence of gasol, while he is probably overrated because the media isnt on Kobes hype train anymore, he made hustle plays and was a guy kobe respected.
This is one of the series that made me love the NBA.. and why I love Kobe. He was the perfect villain . Gave us Celtic fans somebody to Hate. RIP the real GOAT

I remember being a Celtics fan during that time & it seemed like the magic was going to the finals. Dwight Howard was all over the place during that series & had us kinda nervous lol
The league was trying to play off the rivalry too much like the Celtics have been good consistently since the 80s. The Lakers had a lil drought before they got Eddie Jones and Van EXEL.
2010 is my favorite Finals. Kobe winning back to back, securing his 5th ring while getting revenge against the Celtics coming back from being down 3-2. A monster Celtics team featuring literally three of the best players from the 2000s and a great young PG in Rondo with argubly the best guard defender in the league in Tony Allen. I still dont know how Kobe and the Lakers got through that to win
1:40 2009 wasn't necessarily a "cruise" for the Lakers... They faced literaly 12 teams that had 50+ wins in the regular season from 2008-2010 playoffs. Arguably one of the most difficult playoff runs in NBA history.
Super overrated teams. Not once did he face a team that had even as many All-NBA players than his team. Who did he beat in 09? Utah in round 1 with zero All-NBA players. Taken to 7 games against a Rockets team whose best player with Ron Artest (who thereafter joined LA). Beat Denver who had 1 All-NBA player, and Boston with 1 All-NBA player, some shady officiating and a horrible Game 7 by Kobe.
@@hardwoodthought1213 What? FMVP Billups and Melo aren't good enough? Rockets with Yao Ming, all defensive team Battier, and former DPOY Artest aren't good enough?

@@natti8212 The 2013-16 finals were definitely amazing and exciting for me. I just grew up with the hall of famers in the 2010 finals and was a die hard for that Celtics team. The stakes and emotions just aren’t naturally the same. No disrespect intended.
As a Celtics fan, not only does the perk injury hurt, but the reffing in game 7 was extremely fishy. The lakers had like 20+ free throws in the 4th quarter alone if I remember right and finished with almost 40 compared to 15ish from the Celtics. Remember being so pissed lmao
Personally, I think the 2010 NBA Finals are underrated because the NBA media attention was all on two other news stories at the time: Phil Jackson’s pending retirement from the NBA as the Lakers’ Head Coach, and Lebron’s pending decision about where to take his talents moving forward since his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers had just ended and the Cavs had a second round playoff exit that year. Either way, those side stories didn’t affect the Lakers’ or the Celtics’ play during all seven games of the 2010 Finals. But perhaps people were slightly more focused on the given transitions in the league at the time and less on the game itself.
Yes. Both teams were gassed in game 7. Nobody could score anymore. It is way more epic than the game 7 between Warriors and Cavs in 2016. That game 7 wasn't as legit because Draymond Green got suspended for 2 crucial games.
@@chief8268 Two different series. GS v Cleveland had 7 All-Star level players all in their prime. 2010 Rondo was before his prime, Allen and KG had passed it. Regardless, LBJ played infinitely better in 2016 than Kobe did in 2010.

Game seven I was scared . We really needed this . Laker nation
The league was trying to play off the rivalry too much like the Celtics have been good consistently since the 80s. The Lakers had a lil drought before they got Eddie Jones and Van EXEL.
4:26 was only a small factor. It was Kobe winning that years ring that caused the big three to form. Wade has since admitted it on some podcast.
KG was not the same. Once he blew out his knee in 09, that was a wrap.
for real. Gasol told the media Garnett lost a step after game 1. he was a different guy
I rewatched the full game 7 a while back, it’s available on TH-cam. Rondo was the best player in that game.
2010 is my favorite Finals. Kobe winning back to back, securing his 5th ring while getting revenge against the Celtics coming back from being down 3-2.

Personally, I think the 2010 NBA Finals are underrated because the NBA media attention was all on two other news stories at the time: Phil Jackson’s pending retirement from the NBA as the Lakers’ Head Coach, and Lebron’s pending decision about where to take his talents moving forward since his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers had just ended and the Cavs had a second round playoff exit that year. Either way, those side stories didn’t affect the Lakers’ or the Celtics’ play during all seven games of the 2010 Finals. But perhaps people were slightly more focused on the given transitions in the league at the time and less on the game itself.
I watched every game that season and postseason. Lakers were stacked.

10, 16 & 13 in no particular order are the best finals ive seen

Yeah those were great but I also loved 2011 finals since no one thought the Mavs would win against the heat
Personally I'm more of a 2011 and 2014 Finals person. 2011 because I love an underdog story and 2014 because Spurs ball movement was insane.
@blomobloom9639 i only rank goats by position. Its more definitive that way but to act like he isn't one is to be ignorant of basketball
