My favorite years all time 1999-2002 being a Lakers fan we should’ve four peat had not Horry’s shot rattled halfway out vs the Spurs the following season good times bro and this is great quality for an early 00’s game!
Damn Kobe with the three and then creating a wide open three for Horry to win it! Kobe can make the shot or make the play! "The right basketball play" 😂😅
22 years later, and *I'm still mesmerized with Portland's roster* . Somebody's gotta do a deep dive into how so many all-stars agreed to join the friggin' Portland Trailblazers.
Many of those Trail Blazer squads from Rasheed’s era were that deep, they just could not get over the hill as the balance of power was quickly moving west from 1997 onwards
It’s so funny I’ve seen so many say he’s not top 5 or barely top 10. Ppl don’t understand the era, the pace, nobody was super analytical. It was about getting a bucket in these 90 possessions. Again set defenses in the HALF COURT GAME. Kobe and Shaq being the best guard/wing & big was perfect. Inside outside game. The disrespect is so crazy since he passed away. I love Steph but to hear ppl say he’s over Kobe. Is so weird when you watched them both play. Watching these games and seeing how the commentators, tv media and newspapers say about Kobe in REAL TIME and for ppl to act like Kobe and MJ wasn’t a conversation is nuts
Kobe is not a top 5. Nor is it disrespectful to put him in the top 10. I would put him in the top 10 but a case can be made that he's not. Jordan is a better player than kobe and it's not even close.
This man was CLUTCH af!Words can’t describe how it felt watching some of these games live and thinking Lakers were gonna lose, then Kobe would hit a crazy clutch shot out of nowhere
Even though Kobe always relished in putting on an individual showcase on in given night through the course of the season, when it was time to stop messing around and go out and play WINNING basketball, especially come playoff time, he almost if not ALWAYS adjusted his game and mentality accordingly. Whatever he needed to do to win, he did. Weather it was sacrificing his own offense for Shaq to dominate during the 3-peat, or taking on the other teams best perimeter scorer defensively, or being a facilitator/point guard, or being aggressive to score, or balancing his scoring with making his teammates better (like he did during the 09 and 10 title runs) Kobe was able to play any of those roles. I don't think he ever got enough credit for that..
Kobe is allegedly so selfish but used his gravity in the clutch and got Rob a wide open 3 for a game winner… The people who never really watched Kobe or understood his game are always the loudest ones when talking crazy about him.
I'm not look at the majority of the comments as a diehard Kobe and Lakers fan. Imma say this: there's nothing wrong being a Kobe fan and giving PRAISE for some of his teammates. No reason to hate on greatness of his teammates and discredit their contributions to the team. Let's appreciate them while they're still here because you never know when they're gone from this world. This is what Kobe would want. 🙌
@@Kalinbuggs correction: 1998-1999 = Spurs. Won a ring. Or more like just 1999 due to the lockout. 1999-2000 = Spurs 2000-2001 = Spurs 2001-2002 = Blazers 2002-2003 = Back to the Spurs and then retired after winning a ring with them. No wonder i never noticed. It was like a one sandwich season with the Blazers before returning to the Spurs for one season and then retired
@@HeathOverledgerReally wish ppl give Mutombo more credit and love he deserves. All the time in Lakers videos, I see many disrespectful Kobe fanboys claiming Mutombo was a bum and was easy for Shaq to score on him in the 2001 finals. Mind you just like Ben Wallace, Mutombo was a 4 time DPOY, including in 2001. Nobody was stopping Prime healthy Shaq, not even the 2001 Spurs Twin Towers, Tim Duncan and David Robinson.
7:52 'normally does not make 3 pters late' Da fuq is this dude talking about? I'm guessing Kobe went to the 3 ball more late in the game later in his career?
They said that because Kobe in 2002 only shot 25% from 3 during the 2002 RS since he didn’t attempt too much 3s and focused more on the midrange shooting a career high 46.9% from the field. Ironically he shot far better from 3 when during the 2002 playoffs.
Yet Pippen simps act like clowns and act like his choking didn’t cost the Blazers to choke this game & game 7 2000 WCF. He was the catalyst of the Blazers meltdowns both games. Once a choker, ALWAYS a choker.
Bill Walton always recognized Kobe's defensive prowess in games during the early 2000s.
Its crazy how much is forgotten. i totally forgot about Kobes big 3 down the stretch
Beside they always skip to the last shot
even the Lakers' championship dvd doesn't show it lol

Nothing but facts bro. I hate it so much. In the past couple years it all of the sudden became MJ and Bron?? Real hoopers know.
Facts I don’t even argue no mo
Beans and Shaq were both top 4 to me easily. I was saying this 22 yrs ago 💯✊🏿

yup him or Fish or big shot Bob. My favorite Lakers team is '08 but this is a very close second
@@TheForkOnTheLeftistMy personal top 3 fav Lakers teams were the 2000, 2001 and 2009 Lakers.

Hello. I got Kobe Amnesty that game from Feb, 24, 2013. By the way, HBD for Kobe.
the Manba for ever
Great upload! This Lakers team was an absolute monster
Kobe is allegedly so selfish but used his gravity in the clutch and got Rob a wide open 3 for a game winner…

Robert Horry. Dude hits big shots after big shots in critical games. Dude is phenominal
Kobe doesn’t make 3 pointers late? What the hell, snapper talking about. I guess he needed more evidence. Which Portland gets over the years.

I never knew Steve Kerr played for the Blazers. I thought he stayed with the Spurs after the Bulls until he retired

Someone convince me Robert Horry shouldn't be in the hall of fame
How in the WORLD do you leave ROBERT HORRY, of all people, that WIDE OPEN?!?!?!
I mean… kobe had the ball😂😂😂
@@Kalinbuggs 😂😂😂 Fair enough
Detroit made the same mistake in '05...ironically, it was Sheed that left him open
@@marvinlynch1305 I’m a piston fan.. thanks for ruining my day 😂🤦🏽♂️
@@marvinlynch1305Yep and like Kobe, Manu drew the double team to give Horry the gw 3.
Y'all hear that kobe for dpoy he shoulda won at least 2 it goes to show you all that ish is is a popularity contest
Tough to win DPOY when your competing against Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett for it during the 2000s.
