NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: #37

Shaq Flirts With Quadruple Double on Record-Setting Lakers; Game 2, 2001 NBA Finals:
"After the heavily favored Lakers were upset in Game 1 to the Philadelphia 76ers, Shaquille O'Neal took matters into his own hands in Game 2, flirting with a quadruple-double -- 28 points, 20 rebounds, nine assists and a Finals record-tying eight blocks in a 98-89 Lakers victory that tied the series. The Lakers never looked back, winning the next three games as O'Neal earned his second straight Finals MVP Award. The Lakers cemented their place in NBA history as one of the greatest teams of all time. The Lakers' record-setting 15-1 record and .937 winning percentage during the postseason is the most dominating run in league playoff history." - NBA.com

@woutakasinistra naw man it was still goin up

@STmadourie Egotism is a helluva drug! At that time, Kobe felt like he didn't need Shaq and held out on his contract to see what the Lakers would do to keep him, and I think Shaq just got tired of the games so he asked to be traded. Sad because if they'd just let the egos go and played ball, Kobe could've at least tied Jordan a LONG TIME AGO. Either way, their both legends of the game now. I don't care who has more rings, nothing was like those two on the court together.
