I can still feel the intensity watching these highlights over 20 years later! Yes, we in L.A were all in pins and needles that day as Kobe said, lol.

This version of Kobe would destroy Anthony Edwards

Who else is watching? Watching this and other classics it’s so much fun to see no cellphones and people actually watching the game and involving the game. Ever green classics.

Kobe's career has been dismissed and forgotten by haters who said that he was just a sidekick to Shaq

I remember watching this game.

When the Kings went up 9 they had all the momentum and Kobe hit every single big shot to keep them in the game. People who say Shaq carried Kobe are out of their minds. Kobe was the better player Shaq just won those finals mvps because his numbers were a little better

While I admit that it is still painful to revisit this series, Detroit earned that title. LA just couldn't contain Billups that opened the floodgates of hell every game.

It’s much harder defending the tittle than winning it Kobe

😂wait did y’all see Chris and Kobe?.. were they trynna have a wrestling match or something 😂

7’1” and 147kg (pure muscle ) center moved like a guard. How you stopping that

🎬🟣🟡🏀⚪🟣🤴🏻

Notice how every call the refs emphatically call for the Lakers, they made the game a joke

Kudos to Duncan.. Duncan had no choice but to face Prime Shaq and rising Star Kobe year after year after year, that's how tough Duncan's road to championships..

We're a few days away from the 20th anniversary of game 2. One of the few games where I remember a good amount of moments and plays of the game (as a 13 year old). The hedging and blitzing on pick and rolls, the primary blocks, the help defender blocks, the 1v1 defense, chasing around floppy actions/flares, the charges taken. The game back then already didn't have much spacing, so this really felt like an NHL playoff game with absolutely zero space and the smallest space advantage needing to be exploited. The 04 ECF and the 05 Finals were truly the last great playoff defensive matchups

This was some of the greatest defense played by 2 equally matched teams.Incredible!!

Mesmerizing he played like he was dreaming and the defenders were too except someone was having a nightmare lol

Young Kobe loved lighting up penny lol RIP Kobe and Gigi plus the others

Don’t ever Sleep….🪙

I can't find the proper words to describe how much I miss this kind of basketball

god gave us jordan and kobe and they are beautiful to watch. No one will ever copy those two specially when it comes to winning

This looked like the Game Seven 2010 finals

What a Missed Opportunity For Kings to go to NBA Finals and win a Championship

Kobe wanted to be like Mike so bad he even fought Reggie Miller

0:27 cameraman almost gets decapitated

Yo Aight, I need that Layup. ✝️

and didnt won mvp

That video of shaq at the end is gold

Look at shaq making all those free throws

how are you stopping that?

i'm not crying man

i'm not crying man

I remember this game. Why on earth did Kobe shoot the pointless 3? Up by 10. Can just hold it for time to expire… Nope. I can understand why Reggie would be mad.

Back then, you could knock someone’s head clean right off and the Ref wouldn’t bat an eye 😂 The nastiest game I’ve ever watched was the Malice at the Palace. You could just sense sh*t was about to go down during that game…the Refs just them play 😂😂

Midrange game is beautiful man

🐐🐐🐐

The difference between Boston and Miami is the Age of their Top 3 players. They are all a Decade plus into their careers. Not up and coming Rivals of the Future. It wasnt as Chickenshit.

He could shoot

i seen a lot of fts. billjps it literally the most eforrtless fuck u mj lovers cus he seoncd

Kings vs the refs

This may be the best defensive series ever in basketball, and it's probably going to stay that way with how the game is being watered down.
