Kobe and Shaq is my 2nd favorite NBA duo!!!! I love their friendship, teamwork and their skills on the court!! It’s so amazingly good, awesome and they’re talented!!! RIP KOBE!! 😢😢😊😊❤️ 😍 🤩
There's people who make the claim that because of his mediocre free throw shooting Shaq couldn't stay on the floor in the fourth quarters of crucial games. This game amongst many others disproves that myth. Shaq was always clutch, he's a player who played up to the moment. It's evident in that tip in and numerous other moments. Look at KG a much "better" free throw shooter missing when the game's on the line. Regardless of skillset, there's being clutch and not being clutch. Ask Chris Webber one of the most talented players ever, who was never clutch.
The LA Lakers got off to an early 11-19 start to finish 50-32, Kobe Bryant black mamba carried the load on his shoulder,avg 32.6 PPG (including a 40-point in nine straight games) to kept the LA Lakers afloat, while Shaq was immediately missed the first 14 GM's off-season toe surgery, and Shaq says,he got hurt on company time, so he rehab on company time(RIP Kobe)♥️💋😇🙏😢😭
Epic Memes stupid shit? You see how fucking loud he got the fans by pulling that? Don’t act like that means nothing man, home teams win far more often than not because of the crowd and they got more hyped than if he didn’t go for the 360
Looking back the 2003 WC 1st rd and 2004 WCF, I’m surprised the Timberwolves gaved the Lakers a bigger scare in the 2003 playoffs despite their team not being as talented as a year later.
As a Lakers fan, I thought Hudson was underrated. Him, Mike Bibby and Chauncey Billups gaved me nightmares the way they lit up the Lakers in the 2002 WCF, 2003 WC 1st RD and 2004 Nba finals.
This version of Kobe can go tit for tat against the best of the best in ANY era... had every offensive tool in his bag and wasn’t a slouch on permitted defense either.
He’s inefficient asf bruh if it wasn’t for the most dominant player of the modern era or 3 7 footers(Gasol, Bynum, Odom) to collect all his misses he wouldn’t be shit
Yeah phil Jackson went on record saying shaq was having a tough time keeping the weight down. He was at his best shape in the 99 00 year a d it showed he clowned everyone their was and each year after as dominant as he was other teams did much better against him in the playoffs
I hate how we lost horribly to Detroit. We could have made history winning those 4 in a row and who knows what would've happened from there. Maybe Shaq would have stayed with the Lakers. That's why I fucking hate the Pistons and I hope they never make the Playoffs again.
+Buster Posey anyone with any knowledge knows if kobe and shaq got along the spurs would never even had a chance or the Pistons. shaq and kobe could've easily won 6 or 7 rings easily.
Forgot KG missed the free throws at the end of this game. Had the Lakers right where we wanted them and blew it. Also on the last Shaq tip in, KG was out on Kobe and wasn't in position to get the rebound. Rasho has to make the play on Kobe so he can't get the rebound and Shaq is right there to tip it in. So frustrating.
KG pulled a Chris Webber in this game but for the most part, him and Duncan with inferior supporting casts put up much better numbers vs my Lakers in the 2003 playoffs than Chris Webber did with a stacked roster vs that same Lakers team in the 2002 WCF. 😂🤣.
i know people are gonna argue shaq was the only reason kobe got them rings which might be true when they won the 1st ring because kobe wasn't all that yet but for the rest of the time no....they needed each other as well as shaw robert and fisher plus others people make it seem like it was only shaq. if shaq was so great he would have won a ring when he was in orlando just like lebron sure he is a awesome player. just like shaq bron has power an strength 1 on 1 you just won't stop him but it takes key players to along with a shaq or lebron to win rings thats why lebron went to the heats there lied bosh ray and wade. if he was great all on his own he would have won the first time he was in Cleveland.
@@melvynsngltn27 Did I say anything about Shaq? His performance is irrelevant because without Kobe the Lakers would have not have been a contender. The same is true if they didn't have Shaq. The Lakers were built around Shaq and Kobe with a bunch of role players around them.
I mean, can you blame him? If any of my teammates aren't knocking down shots all day long after I give them open looks while instilling confidence in them, I would do the same thing.
8Baller1000 Not really , it was just a cheering fan , the camera man should have at least point the camera a little bit higher so we can see her face. 3:02 - 3:05 was more of a prev cam.
Armand Garrido ESPN was trying way too hard to get ratings. Floor cam, Sal Masakela doing sideline reporting even though he had never reported for anything but the X Games, the horrifying trio of Brad Nessler, Bill Walton, and Tom Tolbert. Oh well, I guess Nessler isn't bad.
Jamal Abdelbaset Walton and Tolbert were good in my opinion but Nessler?? Eh. Plus ESPN imo hasn't done a good a job covering the NBA. It's not ABC who's bad, ESPN has done a bad job. Compared to CBS and NBC. Mike Breen is ok but he can be annoying at times with his same overrated lines. Van Gundy and Jackson aren't bad but their a poor man's version of Steve Jones and Bill Walton.
Allen Greene Yeah, I agree. I don't like ESPN/ABC's overall presentation compared to NBC, but they're much better with Breen, Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson.
It all went off the rails when kobe handled his rape situation like a real bitch and told the public about Shaq cheating on his wife to take the heat off himself. It was no going back after that.
And Kobe had a knee injury which he got surgery on that summer....what Shaq should've did the previous summer , but he wants to "rehab on company time".
Put it in proper context. Injured 21 years old Kobe Led the 2000 playoffs in steals Led his team in assists Averaged 21pts 4.5 rebs 4.4ast in the 00's playoffs, and who was intentionally injured by Jalen Rose, who saved the team in a game 4 takeover despite being injured averaged... 15pg on 36% shooting in his first Finals while winning the championship Unlike the 26 years old extremely healthy, force fed g.o.a.t who averaged 17.8pts in the 2011 Finals which was his second appearance in the Finals, while being on a superteam, and losing against a one star led team. Game 4 8pts 27%fg HEALTHY yikes... Also the game after Kobe's injury, the Lakers lost, giving the Pacers there first win in the series. I guess the dominant Diesel couldn't carry the Lakers in game 3 like injured Kobe did when he fouled out of game 4. Guess Kobe was way more important than your letting on that year. Also Kobe vs Shaqs numbers in the WCF's game 7 against the Blazers which got them to the Finals against the Pacers Kobe 25pts 11rebs 7ast 4blks 2to Shaq 18pts 9rebs 5asts 1blk 4to Let's stop downplaying 2000 21yr Kobe. He was already top 5 in the league because of his skill and tenacity on BOTH sides of the ball
Shaq had 2 more points then kobe, 18 more rebounds, 1 more assists and 2 more blocks. Kobe only beat shaq in steals by 2 more. Shaq put up 34 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Kobe had 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 0 blocks and 3 steals. Just saying shaq was still the best player on that team.
@@Idkokay23 being 7'1 350 pounds I'd imagine he'd have LESS assists then kobe. But no shaq had more lol. 😂😂😂😂 usually a center doesn't have more assists than a shooting guard. But shaq managed to get 1 more assist then a 6'6 220 pound shooting guard. Now that I made you look stupid just stop.

@@Idkokay23 my bad was lebron or larry bird shooting guards?? But the reason those players got wide open shots was because they had to double or triple team shaq lol. What's your point??. That's what makes a great player a great player. Shaq could of forced up shots like kobe but he understood that if he got doubled or tripled he would get wide open shots for players who couldn't create shots for themselves. In this game shaq had more points, 18 more rebounds, more assists and more blocks. The only thing kobe did was jack up shots and shoot 32% from the field in that finals. Get off his nutsack.

Great basketball playing by Kobe Bryant From the Lakers ! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼🎊
Derek Fisher stats in 6 Games Vs. MIN; 15.5 PPG / 53% FG / 61% 3P ( 21 / 34 ).
And he has 10k points and five rings
Super under rated in both championship runs for the lakers. Solid strong defender. Smart. No ego. D fish a hell of a ball player
I love Derek too🥰💜💛 and ❤️🖤💚 I love all my Laker brothas
One of my favorite lakers ever. Such a good player and solid defender
Same, Derek Fisher is my all time fav pg of the Lakers. Close 2nd is Nick Van Exel.
The greatest duo ever😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Greatest Duo ever is objectively Jordan and Pippen.

8:40 LOL nice camera angle
Damm these were the good old days !!!
Before the NBA was full of divas
Before the WORLD was full of divas. Blame it on social media
LeBron would come in to the NBA the following year, Kobe was accused of rape in July 2003, and that's how it got there.

Really loved Troy Hudson he gave the Timberwolves some life in this series.

Bro Kobe did a 360 dunk in the game and the announcers don’t even mention it or get excited
hit the trackin
Shaq looks about 350 here, if he lost 50 pounds he would still be the biggest guy in the league and would have lasted way longer being more dominant
Lion in the sun he didn’t care . He was 3 rings in already .
He was 350 in 2000 , he's about 370 on here smh. Would've 4 peat if he stayed in shape , Tim Duncan destroyed him in the next round
