I'll never forget jumping up and down going crazy when Kobe alley ooped that ball to Shaq. If I could attend any game in Lakers history it would easily be this one
Typical of the NBA this era. Had that foul been by Michael Olowakandi on Kobe Bryant then Michael would have been tossed, but instead it was by Shaq on Steve Smith and the refs were there to make sure LA won.
1:27 will never in my life forget this moment. ive always had a special attachment to this laker group because i was only 7 when this happened and this was the first time i ever truly followed the lakers and knew what was going on. i had always watched them but this was the first season i understood everything and this will always go down as my all time favorite laker moment
Man I remember this like it was yesterday. I was 18 and it was the week before I graduated high school. I thought the Lakers were done for, but they went on this incredible run and Portland went cold. One of the best 7-Game series I've seen in my lifetime.
I will say this though, being a diehard Blazer fan like I am, that was quite an epic dunk at 1:30. Nice moment for you guys. That's what sports are all about.
go right to 1:28 - that alley oop from kobe to shaq summarized their time together in terms of winning. it produced 3 rings for a reason. when i saw that play, i was pissed. i knew it was all over.
All of that referee bull crap doesnt matter. If you want to talk about fouls, shaq was fouled much more times than called and if fouls were assessed correctly the starting center opposing shaq would be fouled out by the first half.
Damn this was when the NBA was great not like today. I mean look at how stacked that both teams are. This was back when teams had deep squads. That Blazers bench is better than most teams starting line ups today.
@Trinidadian125 kids like you come to the greatest laker moments in time to try to talk fans outta enjoying there greatness. are you going to tell bulls fans that there title vs the jazz doesnt count cause michael pushed off for that final game winner and it wasnt called. only a dirty island rat would make that case go suck your dads dick after he fucks your ass when u have recently takin a shit and didnt whipe(chili dog)
1:00 into the video.....watch Kobe break that punk Pippen's knees with the crossover. No one on those Bulls teams amounted to cr@p without / after Jordan.
its sad looking at the lakers crowds these days compared to this, too many rich bandwagon fans who just go to the game to be seen rather than to watch the basketball
I dont even think the modern Laker crowd even cheers this loud during one of kobes game winning shots or even during the past two finals victories. Just look how the Lakers crowd erupts in the Shaq and Kobe era!
For all the Kobe haters who said he road Shaqs tail to 3 titles need to watch this video! He hit two big free throws, a clutch jumper and the crossover on one of the greatest defenders in Pippen which resulted in the assist to Shaq!!!! Not to mention the lockdown defense on both Pip and Steve Smith!!! Shaq needed Kobe just as much as Kobe needed Shaq!!!
God damn. I have not seen the Staples center like that since the moment at 1:30. That was a true home crowd there. Fucking awesome! Laker fans these days is like a "who is the most bulimic bitch contest". Staples center has been reduced to a "place to be seen" rather than a place to watch great basketball. What happened to the real Lakers fans that exist in this video?
@mightybedbugs Most of these Laker fans have become spoiled and take winning for granted. It was twelve years since they won a championship. The city was hungry for a winner. I agree though, that was the loudest I have heard Staples. It has never been that loud since.
@mightybedbugs i may b wrong, but how about the time Kobe hit the game winner against the Suns in the '06 playoffs? but ur rite, Staples Center has become more of a sideshow than a place 2 enjoy some great Laker basketball
@mightybedbugs real fans cannot afford basketball tickets. it's the celebrities who go there just to be seen and further remain relevant in the public spotlight. it's a safer way than to get caught with drugs or OD on them or make a racist rant like kramer from seinfeld and end up on TMZ
@mightybedbugs While I agree with some of what you said I think it has more to do with the fact that the Lakers hadn't been to the finals since '91 and hadn't won since '89 (besides coming back down by 15) is what had them going crazy. I'm sure that when "we" win again this season, if there is a season, they will go crazy especially if the owners and players agree to the "axe one bad contract's plan"!
@mightybedbugs You have to remember that ABC (because they suck) lowers the crowd noise for their broadcasts. A friend of mine went to game 7 vs the Celtics. He said the place was a madhouse.
@MrAznPillow. LOL Yeah I notcied that too how Staples in 2000 seems like a bigger version of Great Western Forum and today it seems like a darken part of a Hollywood movie set.
@JZ2001JC yeah haha my friend told me they wanted to make it different for the lakers and clippers. but i seriously want to see the laker crowd errupt again. it's the most beautiful thing in the world. especially when they all wear gold :D
I KNEW IT. The fact that the Blazers blew their lead is irrelevant. They still had a chance to win the game if it weren't for the ref's PURPOSELY BLOW CALL, a very important call they let go. FUCKING RIGGED.
all caps makes you look like a jackass. so does not calling a blatant foul on Shaq with 32 on the clock. still think the zers should have won at least two titles with this team.
lakers own the western conf. since '00....7 conf titles, 5 world championships the most dominating team in the tough west....mavs, kings, blazers, spurs, denver, utah all these teams have bow down (well spurs got 4 so they could bow their heads only) but the lakers have been the most dominating team in the league the last 11 years

wny in the world did pippen foul harper at about 32.9? they're only down three affter the Rasheed Walllace 3 pointer. If they stop them and it goes to the full 24 seconds plus 1 or 2 for rebounding, ur left with 6 seconds and a bunch of weapons for a three for the tie. u can stop the clock, great, but stop the clock AND igive lakers chance to put more points on?????
That cross over Kobe puts on Pippen is amazing. Even though Pippen was 34 at this point, you're talking about one of the best on ball defenders of that generation and Kobe makes him look foolish.
@Ninety2q Not only was Pippen 34 but the league also changed the way a player could defend the ball handler. This season was actually the 1st season they began the no-handchecking period. The way hand-checking was called was fully interpreted in the 04-05 season. Pippen got crossed nasty but this 2000 season was the beginning of today's no hand-checking era.
Man.. Rasheed Wallace luvs that last min three pointers...lol.. I mean, when the lakers were up by 6 against boston last year he cut the lead in half with one...I didn't know he did it with the blazers too...lol
Hey Sheed....sucks to be you right now...hahahah( besides the millions)
Unfortunately in this last decade with all the reality tv stuff going on, we have more celebs at the games in the lower bowl. They are more concerned on how they look and to be seen than actually being a fan and making noise.
@nishanth01 The refs swallowed their whistle on that play because it was Shaq vs Smith, they went with a no-call in favor of the reigning MVP. Remind you of anyone? *cough* Lebron *cough*. Anyone who watched this games knows that the Blazers' massive choke job in the 4th is to blame. The refs did not make them go 1/14.
@swingingfordearlife I'm not blaming it on the refs. The only game that was really messed up was game 6 of Kings vs Lakers, I think. That was pure bullshit! The Blazers just didn't put as much effort as the Lakers in the final 10 minutes.
still tryin to figure out y da blazers didnt win a championship dat year i mean da lakers did have a good team but if u have pippen wallace sabonis j oneal steve smith stodimire wells b grant and a foren guy shit who could yu not loose
@SGVknarf Yeah, Rasheed probably does love the taste of Game 7 defeats, but he also loves the taste of whipping the Lakers Ass in the Finals in only 5 Games, 4-1!!!
whenever the lakers win people say the game was fixed but any other team, the refs were definitely fair. this recent finals had horrible officiating for both teams
@moneyman237952 They were cheated out of this game? Heh but yet I never heard any of the blazers bitch and whine about their loss in ANY interview like you. You lose you suck that shit up
@slugga29 even tim donaghy admited that the refs cheated to let the lakers back in this game. The lakers should have lost this series and the one against sacramento. They have two titles in there that they don't deserve.
@moneyman237952 dude just let it go.. donaghy admitted scandals in 05-06 and 06-07... not 99-00. The Blazers just flat out lost. Well as for the Sacramento series the Kings could have took a 3-1 lead in the series if DIVAC didn't slap the ball directly to Robert Horry for a wide open 3.....

I'm glad Rasheed Wallace won the 2005 championship with the pistons. He's one of my favorite players.

Unfortunately in this last decade with all the reality tv stuff going on, we have more celebs at the games in the lower bowl. They are more concerned on how they look and to be seen than actually being a fan and making noise.

That was the most obvious foul ever. Refs always favor the Lakers
nishanth01 1 year ago
@nishanth01 The refs swallowed their whistle on that play because it was Shaq vs Smith, they went with a no-call in favor of the reigning MVP. Remind you of anyone? *cough* Lebron *cough*. Anyone who watched this games knows that the Blazers' massive choke job in the 4th is to blame. The refs did not make them go 1/14.
swingingfordearlife 1 year ago
@swingingfordearlife I'm not blaming it on the refs. The only game that was really messed up was game 6 of Kings vs Lakers, I think. That was pure bullshit! The Blazers just didn't put as much effort as the Lakers in the final 10 minutes.

Rasheed must love the taste of game 7 defeats
SGVknarf 1 year ago 24
@SGVknarf Yeah, Rasheed probably does love the taste of Game 7 defeats, but he also loves the taste of whipping the Lakers Ass in the Finals in only 5 Games, 4-1!!!

moneyman237952 1 year ago
@moneyman237952 They were cheated out of this game? Heh but yet I never heard any of the blazers bitch and whine about their loss in ANY interview like you. You lose you suck that shit up
slugga29 1 year ago
@slugga29 even tim donaghy admited that the refs cheated to let the lakers back in this game. The lakers should have lost this series and the one against sacramento. They have two titles in there that they don't deserve.
moneyman237952 1 year ago
@moneyman237952 dude just let it go.. donaghy admitted scandals in 05-06 and 06-07... not 99-00. The Blazers just flat out lost. Well as for the Sacramento series the Kings could have took a 3-1 lead in the series if DIVAC didn't slap the ball directly to Robert Horry for a wide open 3.....
