RIP Kobe but Harris had a proven game-winner, Nick Van Exel, and didn't give him the ball to allow a rookie to shoot FOUR airballs in a row IIRC to end the season. Eliminated. Harris should have been fired.
still the balls it takes to get those shots up on live TV and hold your head up and get at it to rise to the status KOBE reached instead of DUDDING out like the typical would be Draft BUST/s over the course of his 20 year tenure. I mean if you re-watch the 2012 finals....those KOBE airballs....are shots westbrook and KD werent even willing to "MISS" on TV. Or take in general. Kobe really took being a laker to heart and His esteem for magic and the fact that magic had that finals MVP as a rook. It was a standard KOBE set upon himself which was nice to witness along his progress/career. As he would yield the 62 pt outscoring the entire mavs team peformance in that 36 mins of play vs his former coach. Most of us like to think DEL aside of the looks/playing time kobe got in his first 2 seasons being conducive to kobes overall numbers, this having to work his way up/earn it mentality that brewed in the mind of kobe at the age of 19 really helped shape the blackmamba. His trajectory overall could have been different had he been drafted into a 36-40 MPG 20+FGA day 1 situation like most MARQUEE pieces/phenom future franchise player picks...yet he was more or less drafted as a "project" and known as a phenom/upstart a definite "would be" MJ. Jerry west really GIFTED us this whole process.
I barely can watch videos like this now without the Black Mamba. 😢
he shoulda won the 6th man award that year
+Joe Kidd Danny manning was considered soft as a big man lol what's funny is his style would fit it good as a stretch 4 in today's league lol
I miss him everyday 😔
Miss you Kob
Miss u Bean 💙
Miss Kobe
Baby Jordan!
2:10 Good job Harris
Actually, this was from December 1997.
he sounds like 95 tupac when he was in jail
😅😅😅😅😅
What happened to van exel?
Bonnie was sideline and feature reporter for ESPN, before CBS Sports poached her away later that year.
How come Bonnie Bernstein has a southern accent although she was born in New York?
