Celtics vs Lakers Classic Feburary 2002 (Part 6 of 6)

[sugarmaple28]

Plus Mike Gorman is one of the more professional announcers out there. He sits next to Tom Heinsohn who is anything but non-biased, but Gorman has for the most part always remained pretty fair. Anytime you cover a team for nearly 30 years you are bound to be a bit emotional. I am sure it works that way with every team. As a Celtics fan I always repected longtime laker great play by play man Chick Hearn. Regardless of team.

[ashland1977]

@sugarmaple28 Right on about Gorman and everything else.

[sugarmaple28]

Man this was an awesome game. Entertaining basketball, regardless of what side you were on,

[CappieandCaseyFan]

Who the hell cares what you approve of Mike Gorman. Gawd I hate the Celtics announcers.

lakers got robbed

[NBaBall3r26]

money in the bank? lol

[cyrusman122000]

i remember watching this game live, i was PISSED! Cause kobe got the shot off, and since they didn't have instant review that year it was waived off. That year in 20002 had many bad calls. This one, the charlotte orlando game 3 where baron davis 3 should have counted, and the pacers nets game 5 when reggie's 3 should have been waived off. that's why the next year they put in instant replay

[Bsmoove326]

thank God they put in instant replay for shots like that

[naskreukbale]

Wait a second is that Larry David high fiving the Celtics @ 5:54??? LMAO

[naskreukbale]

lol Lakers got robbed

[D332Fr3sh]

i rechecked this and the ball was out of his hands before the buzzer sounded also.

[D332Fr3sh]

i dont know that looked like it should have counted! the ball looks like its off his fingers at 0.1 this is the reason why they have to check the replays now.

[bigcritic69]

lol back in the day when they didnt have the replay rule lakers shoulda won

[TRJ22487]

This was right before my 15th birthday I'll never forget!

[KHayes666]

@TRJ22487 This was the game that got me watching the Celtics full time. I had been a casual fan since I was 6 years old (92-93 season) but this amazing comeback over the 2 time (eventual 3 time) champion Lakers got me hooked. I was 15 at the time and I've been a diehard fan for the past 9 years since.

[kewanj]

I was at this game.. It was a beautifull thing.. I went crazy when we won..

[ExoticCars9999]

the refs made a crappy mistake. the ball left kobe's hands with .01 left in the game

[ashland1977]

This game was incredible.

[bigredswims]

Yeah but which team won the title that year? Lakers.

[irishock]

Lakers didnt win, The Refs won.

[8MunchenBayern8]

that basket shouldve been good.

[baumers]

I have this game on DVD presented by Laker commentators, and it includes a replay angle of Kobe's shot from a baseline camera (not seen here) that clearly shows the ball still touching his fingertips as time expires. Upon seeing that angle the Laker commentators grudgingly admitted that the refs got it right...

[baldheadkid]

@baumers When Walker's shot goes in there was 1.6 left.. so Kobe's shot shoulda counted.

[traviepoo1]

I didn't know Paul Pierce played in the NBA. I thought he played in the wheelchair league

[CelticsProduction]

jk still that a was crazy game.

[CelticsProduction]

Lol bank 3 ftw!

[chivasporvida111]

kobe got cheated celtics need referee help to beat the greatest team ever lakers still are better than the boston homos

[BCEagle73]

[G0000MBA]

[RTR9]

@BCEagle73 right when the celtics won there what 15 titels was when the Giant black guy bill russel was a gians amongs midets back then 11 titles all in a row right cause that would happend in this era that wouldent even happend in the fucking 80s where the lakers dominated last decade 4 titls to ur 1 title gonna be another title this decade to ur 0.

[r3s3t063]

antoine walker not only made the sickest bank shot, he simply waved his hands after kobe bryant's final shot and NULLED IT.

employee number 8 was the man.

[Hrvoje1313]

I love Walter & I love Walker ;)

[dominique888888]
