[ShowtimeLakers87]

battles ain't nothin but a chicken wang. lol

[lakermark2006]

Niiiiiiice!

[jakedeving]

at 1:20, was that magic faking van exel out? lemme know

[jtrujillo575]

Lakers were fun to watch back then

[TrueBluePLJW]

Best Lakers team was when Kareem, Magic, Byron and Michael Cooper play in one team.

[kiminokami]

You forgettin' Worthy, son.

[slantone]

" THE NEW LAKE SHOW"!!!!!

[KiddNVE]

Good Video, but some of the Highlights R from the 96 season. I've been watchin the Lakers since birth. The 94-95 team is my 2nd all-time fav. Behind this years team.

[yourabk1]

good ass video..and whats the song called

[stuffs76]

Why does Cedric hate the Lakers so much. We made him a star, before the Lake Show he was a garbage man.

[dabi09]

good question..

probably cause he couldnt win a ring

and kobe basically was his replacement

i dunno

[PeekaPeep]

Actually, ROBERT HORRY was his replacement. Kobe was Eddie's (though in retrospect, those two should've wound up playing together during those title runs in '00,'01', and '02; Jones would've made an excellent 6th man on those squads)

[lakersfan16]

just one thing-------- your missing a question mark in the very beginning.

[milkymike375]

eddie jones is one of my favorite lakers ever. he was the best of michael cooper and byron scott in one player...

[BLACKNATIONOFAMERICA]

1:47 2 1:50 NO MAGIC DIDN'T!!!

[brxazilian]

That West Side Shit WhAck!!!

[cuzzigothigh]

dam i remeber the old scool lakers used to love watchin eddy play also nik van, glenn rice was the shinitz too

[carlnavarro]

old school when ej was still 25. where are anthony peeler and pig miller? haha

[carlnavarro]

btw, vlade divac was the sht when he was on the lakers the first time.

[3chrds]

and i'm not into rap much, but

WESTSIIIIDE! always fuckin smooth

[3chrds]

hells yeah. back in what i likes to call the poo-poo days.  just kiddin. the garbage man (all-star that year, no?), nick the quick, exciting stuff. who else, lots of fan fav's, the thief, eddie jones, pig miller!, floppy divac, hot shootin anthony peeler for three! this was an exciting team. although, gotta love the man, in the end, the magic man maybe screwed with the chemistry. he can back bulked up as fuck though!

ahh, the LAKE SHOW! always!! every year!

love to SAINT CHICK!!!

[amitv87]

song name/artist?

[liltinybus]

Cedric Ceballos w/ Warren G.

Flow On

[HyeSoldier1991]

95' 96' we didn't have that LeBron James or MJ or Kobe like franchise player but we were a sold consistent fun team to watch. One of the best "team" teams in NBA

[jorqy]

Kobe is a lot graceful than Eddie in terms of dunking. But what makes Eddie Jones' dunks beautiful is like he's gonna slam it right the defender's face!

[LuigiLaker]

Some of these clips are from 1995-96..but 1994-95 was a great season..upset the Sonics in the Western Conference Playoffs..

[lucilius54]

HOw could I FORGET Peeler, Exel, Jones, Ceballos - such excitement!!

[CaliKorleone]

'95 was a good year

[necsom]

1995 LAKERS 100% G FUNK ERA!!!!!

[abuwadie3]

i think our problems back then was del harris guys...he look like an asshole and he was one. worst coach ever.

[VallaeBoy]

I AGREE

[bryant2960]

This brings back memories of my childhood... I still have my Champion Cedric Ceballos jersey.

[bombbaby]

yes i watched that team very closely,they didnt shock the league that year but they were a playoff bound team & i think they would have been regardless if Magic played or not,like i said he did his thing very well & they would have won more games if van exel & Magic didnt have those suspensions from their Referee incidents.You gotta understand,this wasnt a team that was built to be a top playoff team,it was pretty much a makeshift team that just happened to work.

[3chrds]

oh shit, i forgot about those suspensions. that was a raw deal.

[bombbaby]

my alltime fav NBA team

loved the way those guys played,they didnt need magic,magic just came back to boost ticket sales

[chriso728]

Check their record before Magic came along and after he came along. They were chugging at a slightly-above-.500 pace prior to his return.

[bombbaby]

yeah but they were a playoff team,6th seed i believe.Magic didnt really contribute much of a difference. But you better believe he easily sold more tickets for them.

[chriso728]

No, no, no. They were a 5th seed and the only reason they got that high was because of Magic's comeback. Read again: 500 team prior to his return.

[bombbaby]

i still believe Magic's purpose on that team was to increase ticket sales & national TV time (like with Jordan & the Wizards). I dont really believe his numbers really contributed much of a difference from what the team was already capable of & you gotta remember this is a team that went 2nd round in the playoffs a year before.I mean yes Magic did his thing well for a player not having played in 3 or 4 seasons,i just think that they could have done just about the same without him.

[chriso728]

Well, then you weren't watching that team. They were shit prior to his return and exploded afterwards, thanks to him. This wasn't 1995. This was 1996. Different season. The Lakers didn't take the league by surprise at the beginning of 96 like they did in 95.

[bombbaby]

yes i watched that team very closely,they didnt shock the league that year but they were a playoff bound team & i think they would have been regardless if Magic played or not,like i said he did his thing very well & they would have won more games if van exel & Magic didnt have those suspensions from their Referee incidents.You gotta understand,this wasnt a team that was built to be a top playoff team,it was pretty much a makeshift team that just happened to work.

[bombbaby]

No one expected Ceballos or Van Exel to be that good & Eddie Jones was so good that he could have been a rookie of the year candidate. End of the day 95 or 96,they were a hell of a team & fun to watch

[3chrds]

fuck yeah

[najeenixonnixon]

I never really seen Magic play in his comeback in 95'. Judgin from that pass I seen him make in this, I figured he still had game. But didn't they play him at power forward and not point guard like the old days?

[chriso728]

He played both, but he was a point forward even when technically playing at that spot. I did see the comeback and believe me, he didn't miss a beat as far as his mind and passing were concerned. Brilliant player. He was old 36 though and would get sidelined by ankle and knee tweaks and such. However, his strength is passing and he really helped that team's offense flow merely by being on the court.

[najeenixonnixon]

If he kept that pace up, he could've played until he was 40. He wasn't as good as Jordan when he came back but he would've contributed a lot. He might of even gotten another ring, if he stayed when they brought Shaq and Kobe. But I dont know if they would've traded Eddie Jones, because he was a little better than Kobe at that time. If Magic did stay than he would've mentored both Shaq and Kobe, and it would've been more peaceful than it was before Shaq went to Miami.

[chriso728]

100% that they would've traded Jones regardless. Buss doesn't extend non-superstar swingmen to max deals and because Kobe was right there to take his place. Buss was trying to get West to dump Jones from 1997 to 1999. West even tried to trade him for Gugliotta. The Lakers' first real shot to win a title came in 2000. They had too many issues to contend w/ prior to that (Bulls, 2 major Shaq injuries, young Kobe, Del Harris' coaching, NVE's tude).

[chriso728]

Cedric please kill yourself for that song. I winced in pain listening to that shit.

[bombbaby]

youre crazy that song is hot

[ElectricAfroMan]

I remember cedric jetskiin' through the lane (lemme know if thats too obscure) so weird seeing magic run the floor with this team, it's like a man playing with boys.

[DrShooteh]

Very old skool. I like it.

[pacificserb]

hell yea van exel, vlade, jones, but where is elden campbell in the mix?, and sam bowie coming in with less than a minute left in a blowout?

[philberttheduck]

my boy eddie jones.. post-showtime entertainment at its finest..

[gneeeeeeeeee]

I absolutely loved this team! I remember those Van Exel lobs passes and 3slike they were yesterday. And I remember Jones taking off from the just beyond the freethrow line in-game w/ a tomahawk. But the downfall to Ceballos's career was the knee injury he got from a San Antonio game. And by the time he was cleared to play, he was traded. But it's ok...Robert "Will Smith" Horry helped get us 3 rings.

[chriso728]

The downfall of Ceballos' career was his flakiness and his lack of defense. He also came up small in key playoff games. That Havasu incident was strike 1. The trade for Horry had little to do w/ Ced's knee, truth be told. Horry slacked during the reg season, but was clutch in the playoffs.  No brainer of a trade.

[3chrds]

definitely, huge trade in terms of Laker history. i was kind of bummed seeing ced go, but from watching horry with the rockets, i was stoked too.

[litjourney]

I loved this Laker team. Sure, they didn't win many games but they played hard every night. There is something awesome about being the underdog. =)

[expiredpineapples]

He was struggling at the begining of the season they traded him and everybody knew that the team was on the verge of being a top team in the league. You can also thank Horry for throwing a towel in Danny Ainge's face for the trade.

[3chrds]

hah, the towel, fuck yeah. HORRYY!! FOR THREE!!!

[LakersFan247]

too bad Ceballos hates the Lakers organization for whatever reasons and Loves the Pheonix Suns,I guess his best years were with the suns,I guess

[bombbaby]

i understand him hating them,he put in good years with them & they dumped him off when shaq came along,in fact eddie jones & van exel left on bad terms too

[liquidgold]

oh. ok thanks

[jbpanther20]

anybody know where i can find or download the song

[expiredpineapples]

It was produced by Warren G but it's Cedric Ceballos rapping. It's off the b-balls best kept secret album.

[liquidgold]

nevermind i found it. Flow on by Warren G

[liquidgold]

Great mix EP. But what is the song?
