2001 Western Conference Finals Game 4, May 27, 2001 | The Lakers needed one more dominant performance to complete the unexpected sweep of the #1 seed Spurs, and all signs pointed to another win. The team was clicking on all cylinders. Opposing teams couldn't score on them, the role players were on automatic, and the superstar duo of Kobe and Shaq posed a threat that no one had an answer for. After the two combined for 71 points, 26 rebounds and 11 assists in game 3 at Staples, they were back at it looking to finish the job. Shaquille tallied 26 points and 10 rebounds while Kobe scored 24 points and dished out 11 assists. The Lakers again won convincingly by a score of 111-82 as they completed the sweep of San Antonio and capped off a historic 11-0 run through all three rounds of the Western Conference Playoffs.

15-1 in the playoffs, 2001 lakers team was scary....
16-1...
+Victor Rippe 15-1* the first round was the best of 5 in that time
+miguel angel sosa rodriguez oh u just tought me something..
+Victor Rippe young kids xD
What year did they switch it to 7?
Damn Kobe didnt carry Shaq and Shaq didnt carry Kobe, this was an example of pure teamwork between 2 superstars...
Shaq carried Kobe 😁😁😁😁
imsljr420 your mom carried me
No, but we all know who the best player was
The most dominant player during those years was Shaq. Shaq attracted so much attention that Kobe could go one-on-one every time down the court. After Shaq left, look how the Lakers did.
Now I'm not saying Derek Fisher could do what Kobe was doing. Lol
who else misses the NBC song?
Slave Of Christ It was the best! Got me so pumped!
nice song it makes the nba thrilling
I came to the comments for this reason, that theme was the goat
John Tesh wrote it
I miss it too
Kobe, Averaging 33points , 7 assist & rebounds, with FG 53%
as much as i hate kobetards people do underrate his 2000-2004 seasons...he was better then people remember by age 22.5...like scary good...the lakers were not that stacked and they had injuries...they had trash bench players outside of horry..washed up ron harper and old brian shaw and a young ty lue is not much man..besides fox kobe had no support really at the sf position and he managed to make it work somehow...i mean for a minute in a tight playoff game vs a good team maybe they could send young devean george out there and hope he did not suck but that was about it..it was basically fox and then kobe at sf and kobe at sg and 4 pgs and somehow they swept the spurs lol with grant and horry at pf and no backup center...
And they say he was carried the biggest lie told in NBA history
Kobe did it to a rank #1 defensive team in the league.
This Lakers team was the best ever, even better than the 2017 warriors.
Bob P Disagree. The 1992 USA dream team was the best. 2001 lakers were second best.
lol..
The 1992 dream team doesn't count. We might as well include all olympic teams and all star teams if it does count.
1991, 1992, 1996 Bulls were all head and shoulders above the 2001 Lakers.
And all the Warriors teams 2015-2019 suck compared to the 2001 Lakers.
One of the greatest teams of all time. 2000-1 Lakers just annihilated teams.
Yes I completely agree!!
I remember watching this in 10th grade of 2000 up till 2002.. this was the best Lakers line up along with Phil Jackson. Ill never forget this memory... Lakerfan4life
Best team in NBA history 15-1 playoff record Kobe said this team would beat any NBA team history agree
@@chriswalls5831 I agree as well. woulda been a tough series with that 85 celtics team tho ngl
Just watched a video of Shaqs statue ceremony. Kobe spoke. Said he remembers Shaq asking him to feed him early. Kobe asked, where is this fuel coming from? Shaq responds, David Robinson wasn’t too nice to him when we was younger. Kobe said, say no more! We got this matchup in the bag! Watching this game and seeing the narrative just hurts. Damn Kobe we miss you! Rest Easy Fam with GiGi ❤️
These Lakers would destroy Golden State. Draymond Green trying guard Shaq?? GTFO and nobody could stop Kobe. Not Thompson or Curry.
@Female Ass Is The Hottest Thing Ever no their not! Kobe would score at ease and so would Shaq and they play way better D all you see what the Cavs did to them a few years ago in the finals? They couldn't hit shit in those game because on e you start to get up on them and really challenge those shot, they stop falling after a while especially late in game! Yeah these teams don't play that aggressive Defense anymore to afraid of getting fouls that's sad!
Only Females Have Ass/Buttocks what’s are u 15? If u think gsw has a chance against these lakers your an I idiot. Who can guard Shaq, he ran up and down the court like a guard. Kobe would open up their defense as well plus play elite defense.
Golden state would have got their asses whipped by this team.
NBA teams nowadays are way worse than 80s and 2000s ones.
And you're telling me Shaq would've stopped Steph or Klay on the 3pt line when put in a pick n roll? You're telling me there's anyone on this team who could even stop Durant? You people's nostalgia clouds your judgment.
4:22 Just look at that. No one that big should be able to run that fast, much less while dribbling the ball. Prime Shaq had everything, talent, size, athleticism, coordination, ball handling...
Ever heard of the greek freak
@@Shmurdababyyy Shaq was around 330-335lbs at this point.
Much heavier and bulkier than Giannis.
Shaq is the most athletic piece of BULK the NBA has ever had. Not even close.This prime Lakers Shaq was a human TANK.
Forget the "carried by Shaq" thing. It's just mind boggling to me that there will be people who say that Penny would've been better than Kobe had he stayed healthy. Don't get me wrong, Penny was a very special player, but even if he had stayed healthy, I couldn't see him being able to stay with Kobe due to Kobe's insane work ethic, alone.
Penny doesn't belong in same sentence with kobe
All due respect to Penny but he’s not even in the same atmosphere as Kobe. No where near the same skill set.
damn i missed these times when my lakers were so dominate
lakersfan 24 Jim is out and magic is in. Big step into getting back on top.
lonzo ball is coming
lakersfan 24 so dominant you mean?
Falconsfan1020 about that....
I miss the times when I was still a Laker fan.
Pssh and people saying Kobe does not pass smh... Cuz I saw 10 assist in this video.
well he had shaq...
NiddyTv he did that with Kwame brown as well Kobe just a beast top 5
KOBE just has haters
4:22 that is absolutely insane how Shaq can move that much weight down the court that fast. Idk if we'll ever see that combination of size strength and athleticism in the league again
Go look at Wilt. He might has been faster than LeBron in his prime
People with any ounce of basketball knowledge understand Kobe was never carried. It was strategy in the finals to go through Shaq since the East did not have the same kind of HOF level big men they had to face in the West during the playoffs. They needed every bit of Kobe's dominance to get to the Finals in the first place
Best duos all time! Shaq was so dominant!
There has not been a team over the last 15 years that has been anywhere NEAR as devastating as this team was. They were just overpowering. They not only beat you, they also demoralized you. Crazy stuff.
Seun On no doubt .. that 01 team was special man . They had young Horry and Ron Harper who was a great defender and rick fox and prime Fisher and prime kobe and shaq the most talented duo of all-time
best team i have ever seen by far
This laker team must have been a nightmare to play against.
Fisher hitting 3s fox Horry shaw as well..grant and shaq inside...Kobe everywhere.....nightmare...but in today's era not so scary 6 3s a night...now teams hit 12-15 at least
Asmosis Jones only reason small ball works today is cause there's no true inside forces like shaq or prime Duncan or hakeem or ewing and many more . Plus the rules today are soft as charmin toilet paper ..
Joshua Haynes Facts
@@joshuahaynes7128 i get that but you have to agree the lakers in 2019 would have to build a better roster around shaq and kobe and fisher right?...like this team is ok but nothing special anymore....they just were strong for their era
10:22-10:30 Man that Lakers-Spurs rivalry was real, they whooped them by 39, then by 29 just so their sweep could eclipse that 99' sweep by the Spurs.
I miss when Staples was loud like this. I think when they started dimming the lights in the crowd is what gave that ''laid back'' atmosphere. We need this bright lighting and roudy noise again!
Strongly agree on that
Never thought about that but yeah I think that shit is true.
No team in NBA history beats this team
They were so amazing back in time...
Shaq running a coast to coast with the ball...current centers don't even have postmoves...
That's crazy,sad!I quit watching .
To be fair even then I think only Shaq can go coast to coast. He was the freak before the Greek freak
I miss this Lakers. back in the old day.
Derek Fisher: 17.5 PPG / 61% FG / 75% 3P in 4 Games Vs. SA.
Edward Perry III Never knew this. If true, insane stat line
Fisher 2001 playoffs- 52% from 3point range.
Derek Fisher jumper was not even hitting the rim,nothing but net and Kobe’s alley opp dunk was the signature end of this series even though it was in the first quarter
to outscore kobe is crazy
Shaq is a badd man, I miss him playing basketball.
I've been a Laker fan for 50 years and that was the best series any Laker team has ever played.
I was glad that the Lakers swept the Spurs after losing to them in the 1999 playoffs. The Spurs had no shot in this series.
la is lucky manu never came over in 99 and duncan got hurt in 2000 and both derek and elliot got hurt in 01 and robinson in 02....they had luck at least 2 of those years
@@razkable oh shut up 😂😂😂
This series sweep erased the sadness of 1999. Spurs swept us and closed the Forum. This was great revenge. Loved every second of this series. We won Game 3 by like 39pts...it was and still is fun to watch. Fisher was hot from 3pt line too...👍
People forget how explosive #8 was! Kobe’s athleticism has become underrated.
6:25 their was 3 guys on em man GOAT
15-1 playoff run- incredible. Shaq and Kobe were unstoppable.
Loved everything about this duo.
they couldn't be stopped
I think a reason Kobe was so clutch is that he had to basically become a veteran immediately early in his career. Shaq was there, and it was championship or bust, and he had to become the number two guy immediately
Man! After game 1, the Spurs did not want to continue the series...was so obvious in their body language.
the lakers could of won this series with 5 guys...thats how much better they were...just switch horrace and horry out for one game literally 6 guys out played the spurs main 9...no one else was needed....
RIP Jerry West 10:17 his joy and love for his team impeccable.
the alley oop at 1:43 is my favorite from #8 days, definitely needs to be in more video highlight compilations
The Warriors will have to employ the services of LeBron James and Anthony Davis to even have a chance against this team. I mean, you cant have Andre Igoudala guarding Shaq. And you already know what happened after Klay Thompson talked trash against a 40-year old Kobe.
Even Rick Fox was amazing that dude could drive to the basket, and no way Draymond could contain Shaq
@@Michael-yo7cb Fox’s defense was spectacular. Lockdown defender, then u have 2nd team all-defense Kobe, then the greatest charge-taker ever in Fish, then the ultimate eraser in the diesel. As entertaining as their offense was, their defense was better. Too bad they were rusty in Gm 1 vs Philly, still nearly won forcing OT. Soooo close to being the unanimous greatest team ever, thx Iverson & your 48
Kobe is a highlight machine
THIS LAKERS TEAM NEED TO BE ON 2K18 SINCE SHAQ GONE BE ON THE COVER
You said it. It has been done.
2001 Lakers vs 2017 Warriors epic
D Fizzle 01 Lakers in 6
@@deanskingdom8654 2017 Warriors wouldn’t get a single rebound lol. Prime Shaq, Grant, & Horry are all terrors on the glass then u have Kobe soaring everywhere in the prime of his athleticism
I'm a Bulls fan but I like to think living in L.A. during this time was nothing short of amazing.
I love Kobe Bryant’s smile.
I miss shaq no one can stop him
4:51 Love the reaction of Dfish and Bob Horry seeing Shaq on the break!
Kobe and shaq are a big time they were a big time duo unstoppable when they were together
such a greate basketball, kobe and shaq forever.
The Spurs looked so deflated in this game. And David Robinson was clearly in the twilight of his career.
15-1never been done again💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾pure dominance
Was that juwanna man I saw by Jerry west in the booth box 😅😅😅😅😅
What's up Superman Shaquill O'Neal!
Pure domination
7:50 Duncan's face looool
gyoyobw123 he Couldn’t handle Shaq ahaha
1:44 that lob was insane
The 2001 run was a team hitting the absolute apex of its capacities! They SWEPT Portland, Sacramento & San Antonio--three ELITE teams. San Antonio had just won the title in 99, the Blazers had taken the Lakers to the brink of elimination the year before in WCF, and Sacramento would give the Lakers the greatest challenge in their 3-peat run the year after. Not only that--look at the margin of victory they had over those teams! For the record, 4:38--telling someone ITS OVER without telling them it's over.
💪Lakers
The Shaq and Kobe Lakers hitting on all cylinders....on their way to a 15-1 playoff record....with the feeling by many, including the team, that they could have/should have gone undefeated!
Doug Collins hates the Lakers. His annoying voice always cateribg towards the Lakers opponents. The reason he had a personal vendetta towards the Lakers was because he was butt hurt when he lost to the 1980 when he was a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. Always upset he was fired from the Chicago Bulls as coach to be replaced by Phil Jackson and end up winning 6 championships with Michael Jordan. This guy was sucha winer. Couldn’t stand this crybaby.
This team would smack the warriors
BEST DUO IN HISTORY FACTORING THE BEEF MAN DIS IS BEAUTIFUL BASKETBALL AGAINST TIMMY DAVID AND GREG
Game 3 was the massacre. I miss NBA on NBC
The way they played, I can't think of a team that could have beaten them that year.
Tim Duncan or David Robinson or both of them is nothing in front of Shaq.
The Spurs coaching bench:Pop,Mike Brown,Steve Kerr,Mike Budenholzer(spell check) Geeesh
Not a Lakers fan but Spurs vs Lakers from 98-05 was the best series to watch
Kobe and Shaq were Co-Leaders of this 3peat squad. Proof? Look below
#2000 Playoffs + Finals
#Shaq 30ppg 15reb 3ast
#Kobe 21ppg 4reb 4ast
O’Neal led the team in scoring 16 games during the playoffs with games scoring 46, 43, 41, 41, 40 plus eight other 30 point games. Bryant proved his offensive and defensive (All Defense) skill leading the team in scoring six times with highs being 35, 33, 32 and 32 again at the age of 21.

#2001 Playoffs + Finals
#Shaq 30ppg 15reb 3ast
#Kobe 29ppg 7reb 6ast
Through this playoff run Shaq led the team in scoring in eight games scoring 30 points or better seven times and 40 points three times. Kobe on the other hand was (All Defense) and led the team in scoring in eight games, scoring 30 points or more in seven games and two games over 40 including the team playoff high of 48 points at the age of 22.
-----
#2002 Playoffs + Finals
#Shaq 28ppg 12reb 2ast
#Kobe 26.6 ppg 5reb 4.6 ast
O’Neal was the team scoring leader in nine playoff games, eight times scoring 30 or more points and Kobe was (All Defense) and led the team in ten playoff games, six times scoring 30 or more points at the age of 23.
This Lakers team was so great. They lost only one game in the playoffs.
This was the real NBA finals in 2001 prime duncan!!
The " Shaq Carried Kobe " still holds true. Shaq was named NBA MVP in 2000 and 2002, and also won ALL THREE NBA Finals MVP's. (2000, 2001, 2002). What did Shaq do once he got away from Kobe ? Oh I don't know, just win another NBA Finals with the Heat, JUST TWO SEASONS after he left L.A (2006). And no it wasn't because of Wade, the Heat weren't a NBA Finals team in 2005 or 2004 before Shaq got there. Once Shaq left L.A, it took Kobe another three seasons to get back to the Finals (got smoked by the 2008 Celtics), and four seaaons overall in total since Shaq left him to win one without Shaq (2009 Lakers).
Bro people refuse to watch the games and still say "Shaq carried Kobe".... The amount of space Kobe creates to shaq in transition, off the ball. trple teamed at times, it only helps Shaq. Kobe and Shaq were just as important for one another. Literally Batman and Superman. There was no robin.
thanks
THE REAL BATMAN& ROBIN 3PEAT LAKER BEST EVA
Henry Ward Is say it was Batman and Superman
How can people say tim duncan is better then kobe? Kobe always kicked the shyt outta him in the playoffs
Kobe was crying on the bench in 2004 when the Spurs eliminated the Lakers.
@@jamespeery3614 um... Spurs won in 03, Lakers won in 04
Shaq 😍
The Kobe + Shaq era gave Phil Jack the absolute shitz 😅- but that was a FANTASTIC time for LA and made the league awesome again
Agree 1000%
01 team best in NBA history
Derek was cooking this game😭
Boy, was that lob pass from Fisher pure trash lol
It did, however, make for an amazing put down by Kobe.
The Spurs were a powerhouse team! But this Lakers might be the best playoff team in history. I think Fisher shot 75% from 3s in this serie.s
Shaq & Beans were the top 2 players in 2000-01 then The Answer Timmy D C Webb Dirk TMac & VC
that shot from Kobe at 9:15 is insane
"Shaq Carried Kobe"How can Shaq carry kobe if both of them were top 5 players at the time if anything Shaq and Kobe carried the Lakers
Rudy Gobert stopping this?
When Shaq’s making those free throws… you know you’re already screwed 😂
inconsistent AD will never be shaq
Spurs never repeat. Always a lazy organization resting players every other game.
Elmer Pasqua Can’t argue with 5 chips in 14 years and 20 years straight of 50+ win seasons 🤷🏻♂️.
They never repeated because of ratings.
The Spurs three peated the odd years 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Avril Lavigne They never repeated because they were bad, and 2003 and 2007 were the worst finals ever played in the modern nba.
Shaq was really the goat
Best 1-2 👊🏾 in NBA history ... don't get it twisted.
Kobe in 2003 when Shaq returned from toe surgery and Phil wanted Kobe to loosen up on the reigns: NO!!! WHY??? Why should I let go and play 2nd fiddle to Shaq again? I scored 40 points in 9 straight games.
Ummmm because y’all were 11-19 without Shaq to start the season Kobe. 9 straight 40 point games in 2003 is more important to Kobe than winning their 4th championship in a row
Wire fans know when I say that these two guys were the Chris & Snoop of the NBA.
They beat the f@#k outta the Spurs
Shaq got fouled so much.
1:48 what the hell was that
lakers was too much for any team ... during that time imagine 16-1 in the playoffs..no team will ever break that.. even the bulls with jordan didnt go 16-1 in the postseason..
Spurs got a back court a year later n punished the lakers for it
Kobe 33/7/7 series average. Cough, cough...
Kobe averaged about 30/7/6 that WHOLE postseason....absolutely amazing at 22 years old
How can that be when all the haters tell us Kobe was carried to 3 rings by Shaq???
dcjr7921 It was all a mirage. It never happened.
dcjr7921 I agree but kobe and shaq shouldve won more than 3.rings together !!! I'm 03 when the spurs beat the Lakers in the playoffs I didn't think shaq was shaq at all !!! And no way In hell should the 04 pistons have ever beat the 04 Lakers !!! Kobe shouldve gave shaq the ball everytime down the court !!! Ofcourse kobe wants to score and help his team but they would've won the title in 04 if he just didn't try n do to much !!! Idc if.its jordan on the Lakers when u got someone like shaq u give him the ball everytime down low ben Wallace couldn't stop shaq although he did play great !!! I just think shaq somewhat gave up in the 04 finals !
I'd love to see kobe come back healthy next year and go to the spurs lol could u imagine or go.to.the thunder !!! If the thunder could stay fully healthy all year and in the playoffs I would take them.to.beat the spurs !!! As good as Durant is I haven't seen very many great playoff performances !! In the 12 finals Durant played good in game 1 which they won and after that he struggled lebron locked him up !! Durant isn't very good at shooting over people he is a catch n shoot guy !!! In my opinion Westbrook is just as good of a scorer !!! I would just like to see Durant and Westbrook stay fully healthy all year long ever since they made it.to the finals in 2012 someone has gotten hurt the past 2 or 3 seasonss!! If James harden had stayed and they all 3 stayed healthy nobody would beat that team !! Only reason Miami Heat did in 2012 is because harden was absolutely horrible every game !! Westbrook was the only player who showed up every game !!but I don't think the thunder is as good as they were when they had harden !!! When u got.someone as.good as harden coming of.the bench wow lol that's awesom lol !!!
These Lakers are mostly responsible for the Spurs never repeating as champs.
***** how can u disrespectf the spurs and Duncan like that ???? I'm die hard Lakers fan and kobe fan but Duncan is a class act and the spurs have been a great team for a long time now !!! But I will say no way the spurs shouldve won in 03 the Lakers just fell apart !! Shaq wasn't himself and.kobe tried.to.do to much !!! If along kobe and shaq could've gotten along and if shaq would've trained andstayed in shape !!! When shaq is at his best the spurs can't stop him he will destroy Duncan !!....
I'll take stopping a 4 peat something that hasn't happened since the 60s over stopping me from repeating which is common.
and Kobe single handily stopped Tim from repeating in 08. I get the point you're trying to make but the Lakers still come out n top.
spurs eon in 1999 and they didn't play spurs in 2000 when la won so these spurs are responsible for not beating the lakers so they cant repeat
Actually in 2000 Duncan got hurt and missed the playoffs which ruined the spurs chances at repeating with prime Duncan and Robinson ......in 2004 the fisher bs shot that was late thus shouldn't have counted was why they lost that series...but in 2006 they chocked in game 7 at home...they were up 3 with 15 seconds left and fouled Dirk on a layup he was gonna make anyways for no reason and the rest is history ...sound familiar...spurs have had their heartbreak..many times before 2013 ..
Shaq carried Kobe will go down as one of the biggest lies in NBA history. Kobe was so dominate against the Spurs, Sean Elliot. Said playing against Kobe was like playing against Michael Jordan. Kobe was dominate at age 20 to 37.
i agree...but the thing was the lakers had the best duo so
Facts.
Dude Shaq got doubled n tripled the entire time r u blind? 😂 Shaq was by far the best player on the Lakers
@@TheSands83 was Kobe not doubled and tripled? The amount of times Kobe’s hit difficult shots over 2 or 3 defenders is crazy.
@@michalgondolewski8709 dude if he drove into traffic but watch the games.. Shaq was doubled or tripled in some casesevery time he touched the ball. They did not double Kobe. When Shaq left they started to double kobe.. u can’t scheme to double two guys especially if one works the low post. Kobe feasted off teams swarming Shaq in the post
