2004 Western Conference First Round Game 1, April 17, 2004 | A fun yet very bizarre contest between the Lakers and Rockets to open up the 2004 playoffs. Shaq had a strong first half with 16 points and Kobe ended his half with just 5 points on one shot while collecting 5 assists. In the second half, both players came with a totally different approach. Kobe, after a 1-1 shooting first half, turned his attention towards scoring, and it wasn't very successful. KB would go a dismal 3-18 from the floor in the second half to finish with a final stat line of 16 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals. On the other hand, Shaquille had an extremely quiet 2nd half, putting just 4 points on the board. However, two of those points were far from quiet. With the Lakers down 1 and the clock running down, Kobe was forced into a tough, fading perimeter jumper by the defense of Cuttino Mobley. The shot would draw air, but luckily for the Lakers, big Shaq would be right under the rim for a rebound and dunk over Yao Ming while getting fouled. Shaq missed the free throw, but great Laker defense on the other end sealed a 72-71 victory for the home team. Shaq finished with 20 points and 17 boards.

Shaq and Kobe go together like peanut butter and jelly
Yelp... when shaq and kobe truly played together in 01 they sweept everyone including prime Duncans spurs and the loaded kings... if u gotta force like prime shaq u gotta feed him.the ball
RIP Mamba 😭😭💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Not in ‘04 lol
@@jacksoncarley11 The Pistons didn't really win tho. Kobe decided to just lose the series because he couldn't stand Shaq getting another finals mvp.
@@joshuahaynes7128Kobe was the best player and top scorer for the series you mentioned. So you gotta feed Shaq but also give the keys to Kobe especially organising and on the clutch.
holy God.. what a game
Defence is no longer played like this
Every team just trying to out score the other
The “good” defensive teams are just the ones that try a little bit.
Yup that's why I laugh when people want to say curry is top 10 all time 😭😭
Grinded low scoring game which I like.
Love these videos. Keep em comin!
Shaq was awesome in this game, wow.
Wasn't a pass, Bill.
I think he was being sarcastic. Not sure though
Sarcasm son
Steve Francis was a good player for the Rockets.
Shaq 😉🙂
Damn. Should've bet the under.
Do you have the lakers rockets series full games ? Can you sell them to me?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the additions of Malone and Payton who in my opinion still had fuel in the tank, this team should have won the title. Must not have been the right cemistry. Malone was hitting on Kobe's wife, got injured and Payton didn't want to play the triangle.
One thing that people hardly ever bring up these days is the injury to Malone in the finals. While Gary Payton never fit the chemistry of the team, Malone was actually a picture perfect fit. Malone's presence along with Shaq and Kobe's dominance masked the Lakers thinned out bench at the end of their run, when Malone went down, the Pistons had an easier time in walling off Shaq, and running a variation of the box and 1 on Kobe, and they didn't have the role players around them as an extension. Adding onto that of course was the growing riff between Kobe and Shaq, but I felt everything began to spiral out of control once Karl went down.
Rick fox and Karl Malone got hut in the next rounds. That’s why they lost
@@KobeisJordans Exactly right bruh
Malone, Fox injuries. Plus Kobe acting like a child. Of course Kobe stans never admit that he threw up brick after brick in the finals cause he was sick of Shaq being the mvp and #1 option
Wait Karl Malone was hitting on Kobe wife??? I had no idea about that is that true?
This is why I say Wilt Chamberlain wouldn't of been able too stop Shaq.. As big as Yao Ming was Shaq tossed him around like a tooth pick.. Yao Ming was 7 ft 5 inches and 310 pounds
shaq dominant~@@
Steve Francis and Jeff van gundy didn't get along in 2004,as he was traded to the orlando magic for the back 2 back scoring champ Tracy Mcgrady aka TMAC
It's sucks Shaq gained so much weight. He should have been skinny all the time.
Why there is no highlights of rockets. That's unfair.
The Houston Rockets running the offense through Yao Ming?
Mitch Kupchak was no Jerry West. Regardless of Shaq and Kobe beefing, their stats were usually there. Starting in 2003 then in 2004, the rest of the team wasn’t there. 2004 was an improvement from 2003 but the role players needed to be better
😂 they had enough to win.. Excuses excuses
Was this Mike Breen's ESPN Playoff debut? Al Michaels calling NBA games was pathetic.
Mike Breen is the worst NBA announcer I've ever heard lol.
This wasn’t even peak peak Shaq yet he just destroys everybody. The only peak that was better in my lifetime was MJ.
I’ll take Hakeem 🥱
MJ ? Lol the guy that beat weak teams while being super stacked defensively lol pippen took the bulls to the ECF for goodness sake lol Rodman pippen Harper Grant kukoc vs Stockton Malone and role players lol Knicks with Ewing and an undersized starks lol MJ beat weaker competition that's why he seemed invincible the competition was weak . Also the 2000s was the lowest scoring era in history because teams played at a lower pace and they added zone defense . Much easier for MJ to score than for Kobe . Kobe is better to me but people just love to mythify mj because he came first.
Real talk the only peak better than Shaq's was MJ
@@diegochavez6203 Jezz what a dumb comment. Pippen took the Bulls to what? Lol. The Bulls got past an injury riddled Cavs in the first round just to lose in the ECSF to the Knicks. Grant was in the 1st 3peat Bulls, not the second one. Rodman was 35 years old in his first finals for the Bulls and wasn't even a starter in their last ring. The Jazz in 1997 and 1998 won 60+ games and were actually the best team in the league in 1998. That team with 'Malone,Stockton and role players' beat 61 win Lakers with prime Shaq,Eddie Jones and Van Exel and beat the Spurs 4-1,that went on to win the ring in the following season. Whoever says he faced weak competition wasn't alive then,didn't watch anything and shouldn't chime in with their idiotic takes. The pace in the late 90s was just as low as in the 2000s and that didn't stop Jordan from leading the league in scoring and averaging 30+ppg in the playoffs. In 1998 teams averaged 91ppg in the playoffs and Jordan averaged over 32ppg in that playoff run and 33ppg in the finals(Bulls averaged 88ppg in the finals by the way). And of course you're gonna bring up zone lol. Lakers won 2 rings before zone was even a thing and Kobe averaged more after zone than before, but zone is supposed to be this crazy 'stopper'. Jordan played against the real zone(without 3sec defensive rule) in college. Not to mention a 39 year old Jordan with knee problems was averaging over 25ppg before his knee injury for the Wizards,right after illegal defense was banned.
@@davidschmidt227 lol what did MJ do without pippen? Lose every time in the first round lol
Jeff van gundy has a great memory lol
Hahaha iLove you shaq
Kobe dancing around like an asshole with two people on him while down 71-70, doesn’t look for the open man, throws up some bullshit, it’s an air ball, big brother grabs the air ball, dunks the ball, fouls out Yao Ming and saves the day. Kobe Stans still act like Kobe was the #1 in those days
Buddy Kobe was the most skillful player since MJ back then, don’t even try it🤣 Both Kobe and shaq was horrible this game, Kobe scored 36 the next game
i want tmac n yao back
classic
Once again Kobe shoots a bad shot and Shaq bails him out. That happen all the time Shaq was so underrated.
And once again shaq bricking free throws and defense in the end bailed him out at the last shot! There defense was underrated.
@@Idkokay23 Shaq made free throws in the clutch tho
We all know that y not jus pass the ball he shot like 35 percent in this series
But in 2003 and 2004 Shaq were in Miami Heat... ?????
No... This was 2004 playoffs, he went to Miami in the 2004 off season.
