Antoine Walker beats Lakers on last second shot

[slobzer]

i think if its that close to call they should pay the bucket anyway

[DPB54]

LOL, uploaded by "AntoineWalkerFan"

[garyboy46]

Even if the Celtics made through the Finals that season, they can't still beat Los Angeles.

[IfImBeingHonest]

Kobe hits the shot

[IfImBeingHonest]

And Kobe still hits the shot...even though it didn't count

[malcolmscotty1]

remember watching this when i was like 12 biggest celts-lakers game of my short life haha

[westside159]

walker used to be my fav player , he won a title with miami and final four in college

[irezzy1]

are you serious? kobe's shot should have counted

[lamal1025]

If this is for Celtics-Lakers Finals, there may be a chaos in LA...

[kcufyouu]

antoine walker usually hits the net. this time the ball hit the board. which leads me to the explanation that this was a lucky shot.

[playoffexpert1]

Afro Kobe wouldn't have been able to do that pullup cross on Doug Christie.

[STAKKbricksquad3]

Lakers-Celtics rivalry at its best

[boygenius88]

3:05 Kobe is celebrating a 1-point loss ROFL!

[do7mike23]

@SpaceRocker75 actually, the very next week he hit a buzzer beater against charlotte that DID count lol, and it was his first ever

[cookierolls89]

Saw this live in my basement...GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME

[leadoffeohippus]

Lol at Horry's awful defense at :25-27.

[lakerfan3118]

what the hell are the lakers doing? why are they not running out the clock?

[8MunchenBayern8]

Bob Delaney, what a fucking joke. Kobe's shot was out of his hands.

[AntoineWalkerFan]

@SpaceRocker75 I wasn't blaming Kobe. I am a huge Kobe fan. I hope he comes back too. It would make me an NBA fan again. I miss basketball.

[SpaceRocker75]

@AntoineWalkerFan Yeah I see that now, sorry sometimes I get defensive when it comes to talking about my favorite players LOL

Do you think Antoine will get signed by a (NBA) team soon? I haven't really been keeping track of his D-League progress with the Stampede but I heard he was doing pretty good.

[truthforrealtruth]

Love it, thanks a lot for posting this!!

[MejJalTok]

lolo at 1:22 i thought my cable went off for no apparent reason, then I realized this was the computer lol

[blkplaguelmc]

So this would be the year that Antoine led the Celts to a 29 POINT COMEBACK in the 4th quarter of a Eastern conference finals game against the Nets. That was awesome as was this. Toine is and always will be my favorite celtic of my generation.

[AntoineWalkerFan]

@blkplaguelmc 21 points and if it wasn't for Walkers speech and him being the only player to show up for the first 3 quarters the comeback would have been a non issue.

[j0mezzy]

The player with the most haters is the Best Right Now . which is kobe bryant.

[dawnoflife3]

@j0mezzy lebron james *

[j0mezzy]

theres no such thing called a back board swish

[KINGJ711]

yo i think kobe got that off in time he got g'd

[karlzulueta]

I thought SADAKO will come out off the screen haha

[multiReact]

Kobe got robbed

[dannz03]

wrong call referee

[darrentng]

it was good what. it left his hand at 0.01 seconds.

[drax09]

In your face Kobe (the baby) Bryant. I hope Walker plays for the C's next season.

[toineson]

More perspective for everyone on the significance of this shot...

1). The shot capped a big Celtics rally (trailed 103-91 with 3 minutes to play, but Antoine Walker's teams do not quit).

2). Trivia time--Thanks to Toine's triple double and game winner, This was the FIRST and ONLY Laker 3 game losing streak during their 3-peat title run from 2000-2002. Look it up. Kobe tries furiously down the stretch to prevent the 3 game slide but Toine answers with the smart assist and clutch 3. 

[toineson]

Antoine with 30 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists on the night!! Also was playing hurt, hurt his hand earlier in the game. But Antoine was one of the most durable players in the league so naturally he still played. Always ready for primetime shots, whether it be in NY MSG or the bright lights of L.A. Antoine definitely has winner's intangibles, the leadership, the heart, the know-how, the will to make it happen in the 4th quarter when it's time to make it happen. I miss this.

[kaela67]

Did he really want to hit the glass ?

[toineson]

@kaela67 Of course. At that angle fading away and trying to get the shot off around the outstretched arms of Robert Horry he really had no other choice but to go for the bank. That's what makes the shot even more brilliant. Find on youtube the highlights at the end of gm 5 vs Philly in 02 that same year when he intentionally banks in a 3 from the same spot to say goodnight to Larry Brown. That was during a blowout though, this one was during money time and was incredibly clutch. 

[alifeofreason]

I remember watching that game. I would never miss a Celtics-Lakers game. That was a fantastic game!!!

[dsk803]

kobe crys like a baby after this...

[SSrepskb24]

that last kobe shot was good. the replay should freeze right at 0.00 sec, not with 0.10 sec left. and the celtics suck a lot, so there

[nickc1188]

You won't find many bigger Celtics fans my age (21) or younger, but I'll be the first to admit that 'Toine didn't call "glass"

[AntoineWalkerFan]

@ManlaiSadis There was nothing lucky about Antoine's shot. He hit no less then 10 game winners in his Celtics days. Kobe is an amazing player and Antoine was not as good as Kobe but very few people are as good as Kobe.

Kobe is a great player and one of my faves. He was even a favorite of mine when I was a Celtic fan.

[imsljr420]

wow...that was pure BS...kobe's shot should've counted...in my opinion

[baldheadkid]

SHoulda been a Laker win cos when Antoine hit his 3 there was 1.6 left (if you freeze frame this video at 1:34)

[maveholic]

one of the closest decisions Ive ever seen... I cant tell from the youtube clip.. but who knows

[giankarlo31]

that's too close,that's tough, but it look like the ball was on the hand of kobe before the clock runs out..nice effort though..

[YamatoX]

That was one of the ugliest game winning shots I've ever seen.

[freshballa18]

@YamatoX Fuck up bitch... Can you make that shot? No sdfu.

[YamatoX]

@freshballa18 Can I make a hailmary BANK SHOT three? If I'm lucky enough, as was Walker, then yes. Nobody ever intentionally banks a three.

[OrangeSodaKing]

Oh wow. Idk what to think. I'm pulling for Walker though cause I love all my UK alumni. :)

[supremeson100]

Lakers got Bumped!

[StylesBR]

this game was a robbery lol can't do shit about crooked refs. the homie kobe been hittin daggers in paul pierce face for years lol

[greenlimer]

Lol off the glass=swish?

[bostonrules3433]

what year was this? if this was during the lakers 3 peat years this is even more impressive.

[AntoineWalkerFan]

@bostonrules3433 It was the 2001/2002 season. I am not sure if it was in 2001 or 2002 though.

[AllenGarnettPierce]

@AntoineWalkerFan it was 2001/2002 season , jim obrien was coach they made it to conference finals that year

[KHayes666]

@bostonrules3433  I was a sophomore in high school and I damn near shit my pants because at the time the Lakers had won back to back titles and the Celtics had sucked since I was 7 years old. I remember jumping up and down when Toine banked home that 3. Almost 10 years later and I still remember this now "meaningless" game, good memory though.

[ExoticCars9999]

shot should've counted. kobe barely got the shot off and it doesn't count, but he does the same thing vs the kings and the basket does count

[pomfret27]

i fuckin love this team, i grew up with them. this has to be my fav. 'toine moment. god i love the walker wiggle. look at the classic guys we had back then under jim o'brien - mark blount, kenny anderson, eric williams (E), of course pierce, and i think in even saw vitaly popentako on the bench. i love 'toine's headband and high socks. lastly, i love how the celtics are celebrating like the won an championship at the end, when it's just a reg. season game, that's how bad they were

gotta love it

[UnionKid15]

Toine is a beast!! Thanks for the post..!!!

[Ianmademedoit]

I don't know that "swish" really applies when it's off the glass.

[nonameddog]

lol kobes clutchh, hit a shot with 11 seconds and hit a nother one at the end, it was good but what ever, that win didn't mean much anyways

[AntoineWalkerFan]

@nonameddog It mattered to Kobe. He was pissed.lol

[lakershd]

it should of counted

[AntoineWalkerFan]

@shred5 Is that why AL took less money to play last year?

You are clueless.

[westside159]

who does Antoine play for now ?

what happened he was like

one of the best players all star

and fell off ..

[wadeD07]

you can never own 4 million dollars on credit card. because the starting amount is like 1k then add 500 dollar annual or something...

so you failed ....

[wadeD07]

any 1 know where is antoine walker ? he retired or sumthing?

[masterj1200]

@wadeD07 hes retired

[AntoineWalkerFan]

Retired is the wrong word. He wants to play and was in great shpae this summer but teams these days would rather have a kid on their bench then a former all star/ proven NBA Champion and it isn't just Antoine.

AI was lucky Philly took him back because as sad as it is no one else wanted him.

This is why I don't watch the NBA anymore.

[peterdabest94]

lol what does Kobe say to the ref at 2:34?

probably "fuck you" huh? lol

[AntoineWalkerFan]

I don't know the exact time but I remember that was exactly what he mouthed.lol

[NoMercyDB]

the lakers always get robbed when they play the celtics. even the boston's broadcasters admited Kobe got robbed

[woutakasinistra]

I think it was good in time...

[AntoineWalkerFan]

I miss this. Thanks a lot Ainge

[toineson]

I really miss this too. Does anyone know if Antoine will be attending an NBA team's training camp next month? I'm getting tired of seeing this bummer stories about gambling woes and mortgages and problems with agents. It's time for good news for a change! If J.R. Rider at 38 and 7 years removed from the league can be on the comeback trail then I know Antoine can make it happen as well, he just needs to find the right situation. Someday he will make a great coach too!

[toineson]

I really hope the Hawks come to their senses. To paraphrase a quote by Antoine's former coach after the Heat acquired him in 2005, the Atlanta Hawks signing Antoine would be a homerun for Antoine Walker and a grand slam for the Atlanta Hawks! They have TWO open roster spots at present. That's the type of team that needs more veterans to help them make the next step to a championship situation. Hopefully something can be worked out.

[AntoineWalkerFan]

I find it hard to believe that Brian Scalabrine is still in the league and now some kind of saint for riding the bench for a Celtic title and Antoine gets treated like dirt by "Celtics fans"

[mdefil23]

Im a huge Celtics fan and always have supported Toine. I was devestated when Ainge made that trade.

[camejko]

f*ck that ref... the took away a geat shot from kobe!

[MatthewDaSmitdog]

Aw man, I remember staying up watching this game, I tried so hard not to go so crazy that I'd wake my parents up after 'Toine hit that eventual game winner, then had my heart broken when Kobe hit his supposed buzzer beater, only to be put back together when the refs reversed the call! That Celtics team in the 01-02 season was awesome!!!

[toineson]

Happy birthday Antoine!!!!

[sdbsingle1]

I'm no Laker fan at all, but they got robbed this game for real!

[toineson]

Antoine for the game....GOT IT!!!!! OFF THE GLASS WITH ONE POINT TWO ON THE CLOCK, THE CELTS ARE UP BY ONE...... AN-TOINE WALKER.... BANKS IT HOME!!!!!!!

This is definitely a top ten all-time Antoine moment, clutch city!!!

Now for some trivia. We can see "Miracle" Milt Palacio on the sidelines, and this wound up being his final game as a Celtic, traded to the Suns. Palacio gave Rick Pitino his final win as head coach in Dec 2000 against the Nets with his crazy steal and buzzer beater.

[benh911f]

Thanks for this. I still remember the ending of this game like it was yesterday. It was about 1:00 am EST because they were playing on the West Coast (obviously), and I had to control my excitement to not wake up my family haha.

[Nba33Bulls]

for some reason 1:20 made this video x2 better ~_~ nothing like the old old tapes :)

[cvela27]

thats bullshit!

[cvela27]

Nice!
