people underrate steve nash’s toughness 💪🏾
pg jermaine Yep, at least this year he’s respected by being a first ballot HOF.
I always remember the broken nose or eye game. You taking about tough.
and his shooting, Nash coulda ended up like curry if he played in this era
@@MyUniqueHandle. shut up idiot
@@TheTariqibnziyad Nash is statistically the best shooter of all time, so shut up, idiot!
Nash’s IQ was phenomenal, something a lot of players no matter their size need in the NBA. Make logical plays. Practice your FREE THROWS.
True, it seemed really easy for him to score.
yea right. A little resistance in the paint by KWAAAME BROWN might be a factor
@Dennis Leavitt Steve Nash had 90.43% free throw shooting for his CAREER
you can have all the talent in the world without it between the ears you will not amount to much
@@bongwater7908 all of what he said is true
Bro Nash went OFF! 32pts & 13 assists with clutch shots! My most fav player of ALL time!
Malakiyah Amari he never won anything tho so it dosent mean shit the suns couldn’t even make it to the finals ever we were an 8thseed lol
jrswish 2221 he’s just saying he likes Nash you don’t have tell us the whole team history.
@@CosmicTheDon_22 he won back to back MVP titles. educate yourself.
LeBron type numbers right?
@@santaclause1435 nah lebron would have more turnovers lol
I gotta say 2000's era was the most entertaining , Worth watching. The times when you dont know who's going to win the Championship. The
Greatest Era in basketball history.
You didn’t know who was gonna win ?
@@swam2922 Yep, each playoff contender is a stacked team even a 50 win denver was 8th seed
@@goat353 hell yea no cap west was full of uncertainty
Yeah cuz the favorites are always those teams and then there were the Spurs that can surprise everyone..
Every team plays like the Suns now. This squad (and the G State squad with Baron Davis and Company) paved the way for Curry & Thompsons Golden State Warriors.
I HATED Nash back then. That’s the ultimate compliment I could give him. I hated him because he always hurt the Lakers!
AnotherSKYWALKR
You must hate LeBron 😂
feel the same about kobe lol ill never forget that game winner
Love Steve Nash
I felt the same about Jordan in the mid 90s. My Miami Heat had a great team with Mourning and Hardaway who had some great battles and rivalry with the Knicks and Jordan was like "You guys are a adorable" and destroyed my Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals
hahaha we the opposite bro.. Nash and the suns were my favorites growing up and I HATED KOBE... but not because of the media making him to be a villain but because everytime he had the ball in his hands you know he's going to take over the game.
Steve Nash makes the game at a high level look so easy, incredible. Kobe is just an all around force of nature at all cylinders of the game.
hahahahahhaha. Nash is overrated
@@michaelscofield4098 he really isnt steve nash deserved everything he earned. One of the greatest point guard s of all time, he top 4 for me
@@christianhernandez60290 Magic, Zeke, Oscar, Kidd and many others
Michael Scofield u just a laker fan salty the suns sent u home that year lol 😂
@@datboidylan7200 ong and guess what the lakers got beaten by the suns 😂
Alot of people remember the Kobe buzzer beaters that send the Lakers up 3-1, but Tim Thomas' shot was one of the few daggers in Kobe's legacy. The guy coulda have been known as the 7th seed that dethroned a legit championship squad with a D+ team instead of the guy who let a 3-1 lead slip away and refused to shot in game 7. I'm a die hard Kobe and Lakers fan, but that shot feels like a dagger every time I watch it.
A lifetime Laker fan here too and I never forgot about that Tim Thomas shot that game broke me. I was just so mad at Kwame brown for the horrible close out, mad, mad at odom for not getting that rebound.
For me it’s that 03’ miss by robbery horry that rimmed out. Smh 🤦🏾
That would have made the 06 Kobe season arguably one of the most impressive ever. 35+ ppg, 81 points, 62 in 3 quarters, all defense first, drag a bad team into the 7th seed in a tough western conference, if he advanced past the suns that would have been insane. I would give Kobe that 06 MVP. Nash can keep 05 though he deserves that one
You’re right as a Kobe fan that shot hurts. The lakers would of definitely beat the clippers in the 2nd round and who knows what happens from there
Big dagger. & smush Parker’s 0 points hurt even more 💔
Nash smoked Kwame Brown about 12 times in this
LMFAO :)
James Nayden seriously. As a big he loses all credibility when a point guard scores that much against you.
I don't understand why they didn't put Kobe on Nash, he was every bit as great on the defensive end as he was on the offensive.
@@caguioaness Not sure I would've assigned Kobe on Nash. Nash would run through a series of screens to have Kobe switch off. It's very similar to Steph Curry as they rarely score in isolation and utilize a number of screens to get their shots off.
@@caguioaness Kwame would've forced to guard nash after pick and rolls
Kobe was balling in this series but the Suns were the better team
you mean nash was better then Kobe? I mean being up 3-1 and cant close it out kind of proves Nash was MVP. I mean Raja bell was even suspended so the suns were down a player too.
nah he wasn't the suns were a better team the Lakers were only up 3-1 because of kobe not because the Lakers were playing great basketball in general once the Suns found their mojo in game 5 the series was over the suns were 2nd seed for a reason
Kobe blew a 3-1 lead then 😂😂😂
Semion Johnson Gotta disagree. The Lakers were up 3-1 cos of their defense, not just Kobe. The Suns were a run and gun team led by Mike D'Antoni and scored an average of 94ppg in the games they lost. LA showed up defensively and executed the gameplan. Also, Kobe wasn't even the leading scorer in G3 and G4. I'm not blaming Kobe for them losing, but don't act like the Lakers didn't show up for when they went up 3-1. This wasn't the same as the LBJ-Magic situation or the year after 2007 Kobe-Suns. The Suns were just a better team in the end.
Semion Johnson smush parker and Kwame brown
Kobe and Nash were both so fluid, so skilled. Best of the best.
wrg,idts
To me this game epitomizes who Kobe Bryant was perfectly. He never said die...even when the game looked out of reach he kept firing and giving his unit a chance at victory. That's why Laker nation loved him and that's why basketball fans should appreciate him! No quit in that man!!!
He quit in game 7

This reminds me that I actually used to like the nba.
Dude Man said the same thing!
+Dude Man true a lot of people claim it's just nostalgia but it really isn't. The players now days just don't have any heart the game feels so lifeless now
@@joshuafult84 I really enjoy the basketball we have today. I feel like in a few years we going to remember the Warriors Dynasty, the Toronto's championship in 2019, clevelands ring in 2016. players like kawhi, lebron, giannis, are all gonna be fun to look back on in a few years. but man, 2000's basketball had its twist, that stuff is rly fun to watch
@@joshuafult84 couldn't disagree more. Toronto is the definition of heart. Even as defending champs they were underdogs. No superstar, 7 undrafted players. If Kawhi wasn't a homesick lil bitch it would be Raptors vs Lakers rn.
Knicks are showing heart right now
After the shot at 1:43, i cried. That was poetry at is finest.
Rip Kobe! 😭 The saddest part is his daughter has to go with him. 😭
"Kobe Bryant at the buzzer! Oh, he got it! Right between the eyes!" We miss you, Kobe.

Nash was underrated his whole career
I dont agree
He won 2 mvps thats underrated ?? For me he is overrated kobe should have win at least one of thats mvps
@@andrysonss9493 nah, 90% free throw rate, he deserve that 2 mvps
Ze ro so Shaq was bad? Cause he didn’t make his free throws
That’s not a reason to be a mvp
It’s way more than that
Andryson SS - Lol what? Nash took the Suns from a 29-win team to a 62-win team his first season in Phoenix... that’s insane. And then he led them to a league best 54 wins his 2nd season. Nash deserved both those MVP’s, period. He was ridiculously good both those seasons.
Never that we all knew nash was dangerous
Nash in his prime was definitely an amazing player. Kobe, was simply not even human. Wow.
I feel like people have forgotten about Nash, he is truly one of the greatest of all time.
The casuals know about MJ, Kobe and LeBron. That's about it.
Ya nash is slept on hard. The average NBA fan is trash only talkin about curry, Bron, Kobe (RIP). Nash paved the way for steph curry’s style of play
My fav player of all time. He never gave up. Gave his all. Wish he could’ve gotten that ring tho in Phx.
Steph curry and trae young often pays homage to Steve nash and admits he help shape their games so he definitely gets his just due
@@redt7452 nash reggie jason terry really paved a straight line towards the mid/far range and steph took it to the next level, it’s rly cool seeing how basketball evolved thanks to exceptional athletes
Notice how they were on a Kobe shot count on the last two shots he took in OT. Stating he had took 32-33 shots. He scored 50 in an OT loss mainly because that Tim Thomas 3. He did everything he could to win that game. The media crucified him for being a ball hog. So game 7 he takes only 13 shots. His teammates didn’t step up, the media crucified him for giving up on his teammates and not scoring enough and taking over. 🤷🏾♂️
Kobe never has the right balance. He's not a point guard. Someone on that team should be spotting out weaknesses in the defense and calling out plays.
If tim thomas didnt hit that 3, media would be all over kobe saying he defeated a 1 seed as a 8 seed kind of crazy shit, including how kobe should've gotten mvp etc
Damned if you do damned if you don’t. The only crucify Kobe because he was in his prime years. How many superstars have to play with trash players in their prime? Kobe was already accustomed to winning and this is what management rewards him with in his best years. SMH! This should’ve been a second or third round matchup in the Playoffs given the right pieces.
If he scores 50 he’s labeled a ball hog, if he passes to his other teammates who don’t make up he’s labeled as a horrible leader.
@@aarontan2197 2 seed as a 7 seed*
Shawn Marion is an underappreciated NBA legend
Darius facts he was a beast on the boards defensively a beast and a great slasher
🚫🧢
He's not a legend but he definitely was under appreciated
@@mackboneyakakushthoughtspo589 and can shoot
A former Small Forward moved to Power Forward/European League Stretch-4.😀😀😀
Now it's LeBron James's turn at Stretch-4, NOT Traditional stay in the low post Power Forward role.
149---3-pointers last year, so he better focus on Catch & Score quickly, since they think playing off the ball will stop him from scoring 50 points.😀😀😀
Michael Jordan played off-the-ball didn't he ???
LeBron is not going to serve as a DECOY to please Laker fans that didn't want him there in the 1st place.
Steve Nash playing in his prime in today's NBA would be even more awesome!
He would be a pass first curry. Slighly worse shooting but better passing.
@@MrC77 Nash is the most efficient shooter of all time, with the 3pt culture of today and under any other coach he would surpass Curry's numbers
@@yeahyourerightheresmystupi5352 stop kidding. Curry will wreck Nash
Michael Scofield will ‘wreck’ him? Curry is .435 and Nash is .428 from 3.... and both are 50-40-90 members.
And Nash also shot 47% from 3pt one year.
Recency bias much?
In todays game, Nash would still be a great play maker, but his assist numbers would likely drop because good 3 point shooters are shooting a lot more. I think he'd likely average around 25-30 points and 8-9 assists per game in his prime. If Nash was in his prime now, I believe he and Curry would be at about the same level.
The craziest part about Nash play is that you can't quantify it. The way he exists in the court and handle the organization is beyond so many point guards in history. And yes he got accurate shooting and high average assists and weak defense but what I like about him is way beyond these data.
XY Zhou curry’s idol hahaha
All tht to never win a ring must be tough
@@youreawizardhagrid actually he did win a ring as part of the warriors staff
One of the best playoff games Ive ever seen
1996 draft class was sooo unbelievable.. A bunches of legends.. An all time greats... KOBE. ALLEN. AND STEVE...
The degree of difficulty in some of Kobe’s shots defy science. Off balance off camber and left handed. I miss you Kobe. Thanks dude.

Glendevon Mobay lol even greats have said numerous of times lebron is better. At the end of the day it’s an opinion. No need to bash another obvious great player to express it. Rip Kobe ❤️🙏🏾
This suns team was far ahead of the warriors' fast pace today. Also Nash literally made this whole team better, look at all these players' post suns career.
it was dantoni in Denver and overseas first plus kerr who learned in phoenix this small ball 3 point fast style
No doubt about that even though Nash has gotten some credit he is still one of the more underrated players to ever play
no, they werent lol.... that Suns' team pace is literally league average today. You're dumb.
I dont know if Im correct. But Steve Nash also advises GSW, I dont know what year.
Warriors play better defense though
This game really shows the brilliant differences between Kobe and Nash’s shot selections. Kobe always hitting tough shots from tough defense and Nash always finding a way from tough defense to create an easy shot
Nash didn’t have Smush Parker and Vujacic as teammates
@@DruDilly Nash didn’t blow a 3-1 lead.
@D16-makaveli You know Amare was out virtually that whole season and Nash still help will that team to 54 wins…Also did you know this same exact suns team in 2004 with Marbury didn’t make the playoffs but when they traded for Nash in 2005 they instantly vaulted to the 1 offense and record in the league? This can’t be a coincidence…
@@BooBooDaFoo330 mf aint got a ring either 😂

1:43 this is why there was Kobe and then there was everybody else. Miss you man, mamba for life. 😭🔥🙌🐍😔🏀
Kobe never dies why god 😭
What a game
Nash is truly a legend and Kobe the greatest player ever point blank. RIP Kobe. NBA will never be like the way it was back then.
You ever hear a MJ?
Didn’t know that steve nash was that good, he’s awesome
Yeah, he was an amazing player. One of the GOATS for sure. This dude had amazing passes every fucking game i swear lol
We like to follow the crowd and not look at what is before us !!
You just can’t teach that type of lethal tenacity Kobe had!!! Those last two three’s were insane!! But the better team brought it home… I always loved watching the Lakers vs Suns… Nash was just so fundamentally sound, ahh good times!
I remember watching this series riding with Kobe I was mad as hell when they lost ..But Kobe came back better and stronger the Mamba Mentality 💪🏾💯...R.I.P Kobe 🙏🏾🏀
I didn’t even know Steve Nash was this good he’s one of my favorites now
back to back MVP
Well how good did you think he was? 2x mvp HOF PG
@@t.owilson9697 Shouldve been 3x since the year they gave it Nowitzski was Nash's best year. I remember ESPN dudes saying he doesnt deserve it because he already won it twice. LOL kinda logic is that.

8:02 look at kobe's frustration haha shows his competitiveness! what a legend
Ofcourse what would you expect for him? Laugh?
Who likes to lose ?? Kobe had other reason why he was angry besides losing !
I'm teaching my son how to drive a stick shift... the gas in on the right, the brake in the middle and steve nash on the left

Steve nash was mvp those years!...he was amazing i saw those 2 years and he was very deserved of that mvp awards...shaq and others have to stop disrespeting this guy greatness man...this team was golden state before golden states..first team that was playing with fast breaks
God damn Steve Nash was good. So good.
How Kobe carried the 2006 Lakers to the playoffs is unimaginable: Imagine having starters/bench like Kwame Brown, Odom, Luke Walton, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Sasha Vujacic, Devin George, Ronny Turiaf. These players were like rejects from other teams
2022 nuggets (late)
Odom was good, Walton was good, Turiaf was good. Rest were trash
@@binary no Odom was good that’s it
@@gott3356 Walton was good, Turiaf was good.
Odom is good but not even a all star

Because Kobe got robbed.

Nash always has a different style in 4th quarter.
Man Kobe at this time was a monster, as a mavs fan I was scared as hell of him.And for good reason,he absolutely torched my mavs.
Yes we were one defensive rebound away this game from facing and torching you guys in the wcf
62 points in 3 quarters outscoring the entire mavs I would say so lol
Steve Nash's greatest advantage is his intelligence in the court. He has 10 eyes in there.
Watching him run, he was faster than people give him credit for. Yea, he wasn't quick and couldn't jump, but that speed and handle made him a transition beast. Only ever seen that in Magic.
Nash was a genius point guard in his prime. Just effortlessly forcing openings everytime he drove forward. Had the ability to drive forward with the ball while scanning for open players then usually picking them out without telegraphing the play in the slightest.
Came here to watch Steve Nash's highlights.
Now I want to watch Kobe highlights.
Nash & Kobe both grew up playing soccer (Nash at an Olympic level), hence their brilliant footwork, unlike that of LeBron
@@ibelieveicansoar lebron's footwork aint bad plus what he gotta do with this and he said nothing about footwork ur comment shouldn't be a reply just post ur own comment idiot
man growing up watching steve nash especially with his disciples amar'e, the matrix, barbosa, bell etc was so much
Kobe had Luke, Smush and Kwame all in the starting line up.. think about that... nd Bron fans try to sit over here nd say he had a worse team 😂😂 Kobe always above Bron in my book... Respect his greatness for the sport I love 🏀💯

I'm currently reading a book "7 Seconds or Less: the story of the 05-06 Suns" and this game is highlighted. Literally just read about this game at lunch today.
Watching all these plays after reading about this game is fascinating. Freakin' Kobe is just ridiculous.
Kobe was insane
One of the best games of all time.
People forget how good Steve Nash was.
Gah, my 13 year old self was so absorbed in this series rooting for Kobe and LA. So many ups abd downs and I remember being so pissed at this game lol. So happy they got revenge in 2010; I also enjoyed watching that 2010 Suns team as well.
Take kobe off this roster, and lakers couldn’t beat the Kentucky wildcats that year
XD
I fucking HATE Kentucky
2006 wildcats were pretty mid...odom kills them...young rondo
I remember this game I was the only Phoenix fan at the bar. I was jumping up and down. 😂😂😂😂
Nash reminds of how the Mash doctors reprieved the sick and ill in Vietnam from the pangs of death. You know what it is? It's the assists when others can't see it. It's like Gretzky, he knows what the evolution of each play is going to be; thus, providing the perspective that he has some sort of additional eye set inspection lenses.
People forget how great steve nash was in general. Kobe gave them hell and he had no one man show this clip to lebron. Lmao
Yes TH-cam, these are the recommendations I want and need
Thank you for this. Shawn Marion is one of the greatest and this 06 season may be his forgotten masterpiece. Also Tim Thomas saved the suns all playoffs 06.
Facts, shawn marion was a beast on offense and defense. Very underrated player, deserves more respect.
These two were absolute giants
Wow Kobe my goodness
I was at this game six seats behind courtside right by the basket-the first time in Staples and seeing my childhood idol.
Back when teams didnt need 5 all stars to be one person
That suns team did have 3 tho
Lol stfu..lebron sucks
Chris Donaldson Only 2 that played this series, Amare was out with injury.
Dick Grayson you can hate lebron... that’s cool. but no way you can whole heartedly believe he sucks
Dick Grayson Lebron sucks? You lost all credibility fucking tard
nash had one of the best pull up jumpers in the game man i miss this team we were the most exciting team in the nba at this time just couldnt ever win the big game always lost against either the lakers or the spurs lol
Nash always a great floor general, never selfish, not concerned with individual accolades, definitely clutch, one of the greatest point guards of all time and would rock in any era .... if he focused more on being a scorer, he could have easily averaged 30 points a game, if he focused more on being a facilitator (pass first, set up your scorers), he would easily have averaged 15 - 20 assists a game. You can't just go by stats to determine rankings, this guy is definitely underrated and watching him play you realize how great he truly is ...
Hands down one of the most exhilarating games I've watched in a while. I have a newfound respect for Steve Nash. His amazing handles, silky smooth Assists and exemplary play-making skills were definitely on show during this game. He really deserves way more respect than he gets.
Nash Suns! One of my favs on 2k also with Tmac Rockets
I miss the days when the Suns and Lakers were at each other's throats in the playoffs. It was a moment from my teenage years witnessing a fantastic Suns team that I'll probably never experience ever again.
Actual factual!
welp you sure have been missing the 2021 and 2022 Phoenix Suns we need one more win to beat our Franchise record but I feel what you saying 🙏🏿
Steve Nash was a beast ...
was more of a swift beast back then in PSP
We all can testify to that
wow i've never wach nash play, he was awesome
Who else is here during the covid pandemic in March ?
Bruh what if
I’m here during the COVID pandemic in March
Nash is one of the best pure point guards I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been watching basketball 40 years. Court vision and passing ability is amazing. A more athletic Stockton (not saying he was better though). Kobe clearly is one of the best to ever lace them up. Can do it all, while making it look smooth and way too easy.
Best days of my life final year of engineering and use to watch these match what fast pace games by steve nash and team love it
Great editing !!! Seriously I've never subscribed to a channel but your going to be my first. I love how you let the announcer finish what hes saying even though its to the next possession . thank you very impressed
R.I.P Kobe 😫😫😫😫
Nash is totally a legend. What a player NBA had.
Preach bro
My two favorite players of all time.
greatest pg ever. my personal fave.
Nash was amazing!!! Led the league in assists 5 years I believe. 2x mvp. You could debate the second one. But what is that award really the most valuable to his team? Or best player in the nba? Nash was the engine that made that Phoenix team run and if it wasn’t for mob refereeing he might even have a championship ring. At the very least a finals appearance.
Another player in nash if whenever he was feeling it could of shot like 30 times he would of average over 20ppg but that wasnt his style... he was a true captain
people don’t understand how goated of a player Nash was, disappointed he never won a ring thou
Nash is by far my favorite player, I watched this live. But Kobe, damn I miss ya. Even though I hated you for so long.
6:01 this is why Nash is the best offensive weapon of all time
So nobody is seeing how clutch this NBA kobe is in this video , oh cuz he ain't hit a "game winner" it ain't clutch. Man hit a 3 falling out bounds then came back hit another shot to go up 3 then Kwame gave up a 3 to force out. Haters can change history all u want kobe top 5 all time
More like top 10
ten ten top 5 u clown he carried nobody in his peak prime. 05-06 Lakers the worst roster in NBA history. Name me 5 players in history who can carry this team? Name em im going b wantin and dont say no bullshit like wilt, Kareem, bird, magic cuz they cant
super gilly u got lebron #8 on ur list what the fuck? U crazy bro lls lebron way higher than 8
@@sophieenthusiast3161
Good List but Russell Or Wilt isn't even top 10 HONESTLY. Other players are more DESERVING IN TOP 10. Like Larry Bird.
Duncan at #9 ? Duncan is better than Shaq & LeBron. I'm a big Kobe Fan but i RANK Duncan over Kobe.
In my opinion Duncan SURPASSED Kobe when Duncan collected his 5th ring along with NEVER MISSING A PLAYOFF IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER.
Prime Duncan can get 30+ POINTS 20+ REBOUNDS & 5+ BLOCKS.
Duncan outplays Shaq from 1999-2003 PLAYOFFS in SIMILAR POSITIONS. Duncan in 1999 was his 2nd season SWEPT SHAQ IN THE PLAYOFFS & WON HIS FIRST RING & FMVP THAT SAME SEASON
LeBron is also better than Shaq. Shaq never lead a team to 3 finals.
So that would put Duncan at #4 & Kobe at #5 & LeBron at #6 in my opinion
@@sophieenthusiast3161
Shaq lead a team to 2 FINALS. 1995 & 2000.
To get to the FINALS you have to go THROUGH the REGULAR SEASON & PLAYOFFS TO MAKE THE FINALS AM I CORRECT ?
Well Shaq got swept in the FINALS IN 1995 with All Star Penny & Horace GRANT in the FINALS, Swept in EAST PLAYOFFS in 1996, swept in PLAYOFFS 1998, & 1999.
Kobe was the better PLAYER in 2001, 2002, & 2003 REGULAR SEASON & PLAYOFFS. Shaq was better in the FINALS.
Plus Kobe was the reason Shaq even made the finals, not the other way around.
Shaq would have never MADE PAST THE PLAYOFFS WITHOHT KOBE GURANTEED.
Wilt & Russ played in 1960's when NBA WAS STILL A DEVELOPING PRODUCT.
1960's had 8 teams, no 3 pointers, less penalties, less coaching, less rules, less strategies, goaltending wasn't called, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, STEALS, BLOCKS, & TURNOVERS WERE NOT EVEN A STAT YET.
It was CLEARLY A GAME IN DEVLOPMENT.. There is a reason why no one averaged 50PPG since Wilt & 12 RINGS from Russ. NBA CHANGED RULES BECAUSE OF THOSE 2.
Russ & Wilt retired BEFORE OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS, DEFENSIVE REBOUNDS, STEALS, BLOCKS , TURNOVERS, & 3 POINTERS BECAME A. STAT.
Russ retired in 1969?
Wilt retired 1973?
Off reb, def reb, STLS, BLKS, & TURNOVERS BECAME a stat around 1975 (Kareems generation)
3 Pointers became official in 1980-1981 (Magic, Bird, & Jordan ERA)
By 1975 NBA had more TEAMS, MORE COMPETITION, MORE PENALTIES, BETTER COACHING, ETC.
Russ & Wilt are PIONEERS who REVOLUTIONIZED NBA. NOT TOP 10 RESPECTFULLY.
One of my favorite series, life was good back then
Kobe’s buzzer beater at the end of the 1st quarter was fucking ridiculous.
3:58 that move was too nasty. Miss you KOBE!
Damn I remember the Suns were down 1-3 and they came back and won the series 👊
I am 26, I started watch NBA since this series when I was 13. Followed suns since, too sad they didn’t win a chip
This a real game every bucket every possession free throw, play call everything mattered one slip up and you going home I love itv
Kobe greatest two motion shooter
Lendl NKing148 probably Ray Allen tbh
tony tonyt remember when mike brown switched Lebron on tony Parker in game 1 of the 2007 finals ? Parker averaged 24 ppg that series LOLOL
There is no better one-on-one player in the NBA than Kobe Bryant.
Nash was a tricky little bastard. One of my fav games to watch back in the day.
Kids these days dont understand how good nash was. Terrific shooter and playmaker. Pick and roll all day long
0:46 Before look at Curry man, it was look at Nash...
and people have the nerve to tell me harden is a better scorer than kobe😂😂😂😂😂 this man kobe bodied every single person on that damn team. scoring at WILL.
wkwkwk, harden is nothing bro, kobe can score the way he want, look his footwork, u can't know he want shoot, pick, or driver , can harden shoot like kobe , that's 3 fade away, i think he can't
Ahmed Iqbal el huda i know that’s what i’m saying man
Harden gets a lot if not most of his points from free throws too
Nash made these role players like allstars. He deserves those two mvps he had.
This was one of the best basketball games I've every watched
Must not have watched much basketball
