This wasn't that long ago. But man, this is real basketball. The game had depth. Today, it's all about who can knock down the most three's. This was the peak of the game.
Fully agree
watch 80/90s basketball
The emotion is just completely out of the game.
The game is so mechanical now, whereas in these times, it felt like it was more about a player's will taking over games.
This was a long time ago lol
Celtics fan, but RIP to the legend Kobe Bryant
@Marie Madison lol MJ is better SG than all those players you listed
@Marie Madison he can't because MJ has more ppg and better PER and efficiency. Kobe has more career points but he took more games and more shots on lower efficiency to do it. Also MJ was the leader of the Bulls in all 6 rings with 6 FMVP and 6 regular season MVPs. Kobe only has 1 regular season MVP and 2 FMVP even though he won 5 rings because of Shaq. Kobe is leader of most missed shots. How is Kobe better than MJ? He's great but at best he's top 10. No way he's better than LeBron or MJ or Kareem
@Marie Madison MJ not in the TOP 10!!!!!!!
You should stop watching basketball. MJ is the GOAT of basketball. No debate here unless LeBron wins 3 more rings and 3 more FMVP which is unlikely at this point.
You're just a MJ hater and cannot disprove MJ from his throne as the GOAT. No way LeBron is better legacy wise. The guy got obliterated in 2014 Finals and choked 2011 Finals as the favorite. Lol MJ didn't lose as the favorite
@Marie Madison I actually like seafood and hate Chinese food lol. I get that you have an opinion just like me. But yours is in the extreme minority (< 1%). Majority of people say he's the GOAT and his individual stats and accolades along with his championships support that. Where is your evidence of why MJ is not even in top 10, let alone the GOAT? It's hard to disprove MJ as GOAT. Name a player that has more individual accolades and records than MJ? And combine that with championships and mental toughness and clutch in the brightest lights? There is no NBA player that has everything that MJ has done individually and collectively in NBA history. That's my evidence.
Can't belive he's gone
2008 and 2010 NBA FINALS are so memorable
What made it even better was the fact that it was the HISTORIC Celtics vs Lakers rivalry renewed.
"the onslaught of Kobe....sometimes you gotta just take it" - Van Gundy
People laugh at Paul Pierce but that dude can play
Instablaster...
Kobe way better than pierce
@@finstonhoward7467 kobe and pierce way better than the both of us
The TRUTH
@@finstonhoward7467 prime for prime they both can’t guard each other
This is the kind of NBA basketball I love, playoff atmosphere with the floor logos, full on crowd, low scoring full on grind. Today, you win games by getting open 3s and layups, teams today can score 90-100 after 3 quarters. Back then, you won by rebounds, defense, athleticism and a strong center.
I feel you bro it was like yesterday ive watch this one
Cap
@@jacobmiller8698 no 🧢 in his comment.
Exactly. NBA playoffs aren’t competitive anymore. Just a bunch of fouls and 3s
Yup and the mid range game is gone . Mid range was so fun to watch back in the 2000s with KG, Duncan , Dirk , Paul Pierce , Kobe , d wade , bosh , And more . Mid range and big guy paint game is gone . Everyone is a shooter & it’s just jacking up 3s and fouls & free throws . Thanks curry
It's insane how hard Kobe Bryant had to work for the 2010 championship ring Celtics were tough to beat doesn't get enough credit for that 5th ring
def one of the toughest final
A lot of people treat it as a bad thing how he played during the finals but honestly if you were watching it he really only had one bad game in the finals he was extremely dominant and sometimes even carry the Lakers
@@randomperson2540 like he always did
@@yangli2014 honestly he doesn’t get enough credit for leading his team to 3 straight finals and two back to back rings
@@randomperson2540 ture
Paul Pierce has a lots of Respect for Kobe they battle each other in the game of Basketball🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 RIP Kobe Bryant and her Daughter Gianna
Kobe's skills is art
Stunned how nba has changed from this. Miss these days. Rip kobe
Kobe 17 points in 6 minutes in the 3rd quarter..
Yeah that was Mamba, though his shooting percentage from the floor was still below Pierce's, Allens, Rondo's and Garnett's in this game.
I rememebr this as the classic game of team basketball beats one on one basketball and Bill Russell said after the game, the team with the best defense usually wins
Should have won this series, but damn, you can't change the past.
i feel like I haven't watched REAL basketball since these years... Nowadays it's just a screen and 3 point bombs game and that doesn't seem right.. No post moves, no mid range jumpers. Maybe it's because everyone in these finals games was mainly from the 90's where they keep the culture of the MJ's and the Olajuwons.. But hey that's just me
i know what you mean, I haven't seen an old school post up guard like mj since kobe retired. (Derozans trying to bring it back slowly). The 3 point threat has dictated the entire game to the point where 2 pt jumpers off screens are basically extinct, post ups usually end in a kick out for 3, and cuts to the basket aren't as common. I feel like the warriors are ruining the game of basketball, since they can just pull up for a 30 feet shot on a fast break. Basketball just isn't what it used to be man...
amanuel agree... miss the days when the final score is close below 100
Unknown Ghost Yo I'm in that same boat Fam 💯
Unknown Ghost basketball is real as long as you score lmao
agreed
Back when 3s were less taken.
Robe Liam Yo you had to earn buckets 💪
“I wanna guard Paul Pierce” said Kobe Bryant ... wow just a different mentality ..
Lebron would’ve just stood by n just let em keep it up
Rashar Banks so true
@@rasharbanks1392 Always bring lebron somehow lol
Rashar Banks You tripping when Lebron played with team mates that were good he always takes the hardest defensive task. He did back when he played with wade coach spo called him 1-5 stop it, when he played with kyrie he guarded kd which lead to kd makin those shots. Even now with ad before the season went down when someone got hot Lebron was the one stepping up to guard them (except Russ but that’s bc AD was holding him I wouldn’t switch either) the only time he ran was on that bum 17-18 cavs team bc he had to be the offense be real. Go back and even look at his first run with cavs he guarded pierce on those bum ass teams and along with McGrady and the other small forwards of the 2000s era. And he didn’t guard the best player last season bc that team sucked too Nd he was trying to mold some defenders plus that’s how coaches coach. Keep ur best player fresh for offense and find him another elite level defender. Nigga look at Scottie and mike. Scottie usually guarded the best player like magic in the 91 finals. So stop talking out yo ass
Lebron: Im guarding Jason Terry.
Jason: So you've chosen death.
Bro some of these shots are unreal
Paul step back was so deadly.
Man, that was a great match-up series.
So Underrated & forgotten that Kobe took on a fatal super team. Ray Allen had the 3point shot on lock, Pierce was near unstoppable in the midrange & Garnett everywhere alongside Perkins & Rondo. This is after 3 straight trips to the Finals!!!
Love the fact that Kobe always wanted the best offensive player
man this is my favorite nba finals
Greatest rivalry in nba history battling for ages, epic series!
Tho we lost that '10 season..
Yea pierce was kobe always use to go at it .
Yeah, that still pisses me off.
My God, people don't understand just how fortunate the lakers were to win this series.
It really did honestly take Perkins' tearing his ACL in game 6 for the Lakers to win.
Not to mention getting a shitload of help from the refs in game 7.
Kobe was unbelievable, rip.
Paul Pierce so underrated, he held his own against both Kobe & Lebron. Very few players can say that.
Like if this is the best finals series in a while 😍
My two favorite players of all time
People forget how lethal pierce was
5:10 was another level. Bad Pass, Great Hands, Great concentration. 😵😍💪
Kobe was the greatest basketball player of all time.
Atleast in my eyes.
best rivalry ever better than Cavs and GSW
No sports have better rivalry than Celtics and Lakers. Maybe outside Yankees and Dodgers.
suiken the Yankees and dodgers don't have a rivalry. Obviously you meant red sox and yankees.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid
This is better .
Cavs and gsw would be good if kd didn't join the gs but lakers vs celtics would still be the best rivalry
That 3rd quarter was epic. I watched it live. So damn intense. Lbj can't never make those shots.
He did it against the Pistons in game five 2007, he did it against Boston in game six 2012, he did it in games five and six vs GOKDEN STATE.
I can go on.
@@michaelkirschner6009 No he didn't, he had a clutch performance in 2007. But LBJ dominates the game by creating and making easy shots for him and his teammates.
Whereas Kobe is pretty much known as the greatest tough shot maker ever.
Not even MJ ever took shots as ridiculous as Kobe did.
That being said, Kobe did play a crazy style of basketball that could translate to winning but also losing any given night, due to the streaky nature of insane shot making.
even Dwade had that sour face. it only goes to show how difficult that shot was and the timing. damn kobe. he's a masterpiece. if you guys think that nba was just about long diatance 3s, then u better watch these stuff. this is REAL NBA
This was a grown man series. NBA been soft since this series ended. All superteams chucking 3s.
Its all about superteams now.
@@robbiestlouis2569 and do you think that celtics aint a superteam?cmon man,both are superteam that time
@@evalevaldo6115 celtics was the first one, lakers weren't
@@evalevaldo6115 the east east better back as well. You had the bulls, the magic, celtics, the 76ers, and of course lebron in the east, the heat, and the hawks. Had solid teams. The top were the celtics, bulls the magic, the cavs, all these teams played good defense and a mixture of good talent. The bulls had a young talent, the magic was an extremely underrated team, they had the arguably the best bench and led the league in 3s at this time with a dominant center, dwight Howard. The league was fun to watch back then
@@solidtron1965 the east has been trash chill it’s starting to get better now tho we got the nets Celtics 76ers bucks raptors and the wizards
I MISS THIS OLD BASKETBALL GAMESTYLE LOOK AT KOBE DOING ALOT OF WORK BY THE GREAT CELTIC DEFENSE RIP MY IDOL YOURE A LEGEND
kobe is a top 5 player of all time
he's the G.O.A.T
L LEBRON IS
Ballin Ballin lebron cant even be better than kobe and pierce.I don't want to even tAlk about Jordan and his generation
bledar darbler if you shoot 50 times a game your going to at least 30 points
Bring some stats of kobe shooting more then 50 times then we will talk
How quickly some forget about the greatness of Kobe
D'wade was shaking his head lol
If lebron is in that laker team instead of kobe. They will get swept by the celtics!
Yeah sure
No they wouldn’t stop hating
Max Ketchum the Celtics couldn’t even sweep Lebron with the bumass Cavs. How r they going to sweep Lebron with these lakers, they aren’t a superstar team but Gasol was a defensive anchor who averaged 20/10 in his sleep. Ur delusional.
whoa. slow down right there.. im not a james fan but he can carry a team enough to win big games. and with this laker squad built with stong centers? u better think twice on your statements.
Lebron owned the celtics his whole career
6:13 was just insane. He hits that jumping side ways.
5:14 was also ridiculous. That was far for a tip in. To take a shot one hand falling away.
People never realized that paul pierce and carmelo anthony are the exact same player, they were both hefty yet athletic and crafty enough to become lethal offensive players while carmelo mainly live as a post mid range kind of player, pierce was more of a stepback and pull up kind of a player
Were these Celtics teams among the best defensively in the history of basketball? This defense is incredible Kobe Bryant was just willing shots in the basket and his team could not guard pierce letting him get wide open mid range shots and no help on drives to the rim. I also feel like this killed big guy basketball too. The interior defense is just too good. Ron Artest and Radmonovich being the only two shooters just can't spread this defense out. That basically just left it up to Kobe.
Good point!
austin78993 exactly my thoughts. Their defense was completely insane this entire series. Cant believe kobe scored 38 this game too but it just shows how great he really was. Though their entire gameplan was most likely to shut down kobe completely
their series against Magic Dwight was also classic, see how they rotates the defender against Dwight to wear him down was just art
Just a tough, defensive series! Not about high scoring and getting your points and triple doubles. All out war. Who wants it more. I still don't know how we won this series but we pulled it off. Mamba Forever!!
Die hard celtics fan but rip to a real legend 🎯🎯🎯☘️☘️☘️
Back when the NBA was actually a sport and not acting
and more physical contact.
Shawn Axesone lol y’all old heads be going to far in the playoffs people be competing there ass off
I like how the free throw clips were added. Good video. Brings back good memories
That look on D Wade's face was priceless lol, like damn!
Kobe wanted to guard Pierce, and Pierce wanted to guard Kobe. What a chess match, and real defense. Today, anybody gets tapped they get to the line. What is basketball without defense?
Pierce is lethal dam I miss these days of seeing him play.
Great editing job, esp the audio!
Finals MVP vs Finals MVP. lol
I am a huge Kobe fan but I have to admit that the Warriors are far superior than this Lakers team. The Lakers are too slow. Gasol and Bynum literally cannot defend any elite perimeter player in switch. Artest is too slow to guard Lebron or Durant. Fisher is always exposed by other point guard. Their team defense is so inconsistent and sloppy. Their bench players are not reliable. They don't have good 3 point shooters either. Kobe really carried that team single-handedly to win 2 championships. The game really evolved now.
Bynum and gasol were good post defenders and scorers and rim protectors. With two big men you win the reboundding battle agains a small ball team
RIP KOBE 💜💛💜🐍
Yo this is 🏀 at the park on Sundays 💪💯 Ole'Old Skool ball
My two favorite players I hope Paul Pierce go back to Celtics this year
not gonna happen
+Warden Freeman never say never
thekiddsean330 He's staying with the Clippers cause Doc Rivers is there. There wouldn't be any point of going back to Boston other than it's his old team. Boston probably wouldn't want him anyway cause they have Jae Crowder and Jaylen Brown.
+Warden Freeman Boston want's him assclown
thekiddsean330 oh really? for what reason you fuckin "assclown"
Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant. 🐍💜💛
greatness
I use to love this matchup two future Hall of Famers going at each other!!!!
Oh man, the good old days.
Best teams to watch- back in the day!!
The Truth
One of the last great NBA Finals. So glad my Lakers won. Very tough series for both teams.
You Forgot, Paul Pierce had 2 Blocks on that game.
LOVE YOU KOBEEEE. RIP GIGI
Pierce was the man with the step back
Damnt what a move by pierce
This was an epic duel period in the recent history of professional basketball.
Bro, Paul Pierce’s mid range game was impeccable.
People still think bron better than kobe smh...
***** Yes he did do this and I'm not trying to degrade what he did because this finals win was probably better than any of Kobes, BUT I think people tend to forget about brons past. Lets be real, bron should have 1 ring right now... Ray Allen saved his ass and there is no denying that. Then he wouldnt have won this year without an overall choke from GSW... btw bron also had more help this series than kobe did without shaq.
***** Last year proved Bron couldnt win without kyrie but you look back in kobes 3 rings without shaq the best players he had was pau gasol or d-fish. I think its safe to say that Kyrie is a little better than them but thats debatable.
ron artest saved his ass shaq had kobe for eight years
Bron is better than Kobe nigga check the stats
Markeevius Byrd numbers only matter to a certain extent.
The defense is insane.
A lot of people treat it as a bad thing how he played during the finals but honestly if you were watching it he really only had one bad game in the finals he was extremely dominant and sometimes even carry the Lakers
Great series. Sad we lost up 3-2. Perk getting hurt killed us.
Respect
They fucked up when they started talking shit on he bench smh 3:25
It was after this series that Kobe became my second greatest all-time after if course Mike
if you watch at the end of games kobe jackin up contested 3s shots lebron would never take to mess up his fg pct kobe always took full court half court shots at end of quarters lebron only do it in practice where the pct dont matter i dont get how players these days mainly lebron dont take tough shots rather let his inferior teammates try so he can blame it on them when they lose but when mike miller,shane battier make them it was all lebron and look at his fg pct omg look at his points and ive never seen a player get more garbage time points then the queen
u hate Lebron don't u. It's called being a better team player. He gets his teammates involved.
+Stanley Zhu
ok but if he had the scrubs kobe had he couldnt do that and when all else fails he cant light it up like kobe just clogg the lane n lebron is nothing without 3pt shooting from teammates and once again fans and espn brainwashed junkies like you say bron better,amare stoudamire,charles barkely,mj,tmac,vince carter,shaq,dirk nowitski i can keep going but point his larry legend say kobe was better player you can debate all you want i take the words of the guys who actually played then jon hollinger
+Stanley Zhu
and yes i hate lebron hype not him tho hes a great guy i like his personality but hes so overated and overhyped and if any other player team hopped as much ad him theyd be killed he didnt go to cavs to win for land he did it for himself because of kyrie cap room weak eastern conference and wade n bosh injuries but media tell u all lebron so tired of it and he not better then kobe players feared kobe they dont lebron when game was on line kobe being tripled and doubled how u think fisher got open for ball just saying u want lebron shooting a contested jumper not kobe but his fg pct so good right lol
+Riot Or diet he went back to the Land to win a championship with his hometown team. He promised them one but failed to deliver. Lebron has had scrubs on his team. Honestly, are u insane. How could u say Amare Stoudemire or Vince Carter is better than Lebron. Lebron is the best SF of all time and a top 10, arguably top 5 player of all time.
+Stanley Zhu
never said they were better i said they said kobe was better and kyrie Irving put on 1 of the greatest finals performances ever are you nutz ??kevin love,tristian thompson,former 6th man jr smith shumpert cavs are 1 of the best defensive and rebounding teams in the lg bro you lost and lets not talk about the heat with 3 team usa olympic players coming off the bench and 2 other hall of famers and at the time when they joined together had 3 of the lgs top 10 players wit olympic players on the bench lebron played on super teams not with scrubs
Greatest finals series ever! Let’s argue
Cant believe Rondo is the only player from this game that’s still playing today. Lol
The Truth vs Black Mamba 🔥🔥
🐐 series
kobe had no help
***** not that game
They would have won this game if he had a lil help
You don't get any help if you don't share the ball. Kobe was hogging the ball at a certain point of the game and that can work but it doesn't work as well when you're playing against an elite team. Plus hogging the ball always makes your teammates cold.
kobe had great players surrounding him. Most of his highlights is about him disregarding the triangle and taking it one on one. Who's really at fault here?
that's called great defense. you don't see that now too much. Gasol Artest were all great players. they can't do what they did because of Celtics defense
6:35, Kobe tries to carry Paul Pierce up. Good sport spirit.
This was the time of NBA where center position is existing. Now, everybody shoot 3s and no post play. Center has completely gone
The truth on fire let's go my celtics
Ah the good ole days
What a great game
The Truth was trynna get his second finals mvp trophy... And Doc Rivers nearly lost them this game by taking Tony Allen off Kobe. That's when he caught for fire🔥
PP be doing that side step before Harden lol
Kobe when asked, "I want to guard Paul Pierce!"
Lebron James when asked who gave you the most competition and toughness "Paul Pierce"
Why did they take away the Larry Obrien Trophy logo on the court? I thought it was cool
players was slipping on the paint
RIP KOBE & GiGi
the goat
As a Celtics Fan... I hated this moment because i actually thought they gonna win this finals
Ouch 🤕
RIP KOBE
Bryant and pierce is my favorate player
5:33 Wade really shaking his head, its look he know how terrfying Kobe is when he gets serious.
that 3rd quarter.....jesus
I think i posted this comment somewhere before. Did you see 19 straight points by Kobe in the 3rd quarter. Dude this is finals Game 5 vs Boston with great defenders. I mean just stop guys.
#RIPKobe #Top3Alltime #TheGoat
1:14
The only reason theses guys are using the step back nowadays is b/c pierce pioneered it!
#ColdHardTruth
Lol 😂
I WAS AT THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kobe really put on a show in the 3rd😂🐐
So nice to see that dog fighters are held in such high esteem. A shame we can’t return the favor.
Starting the LA Lakers NBA legend Kobe Bryant. Now he won for 5. The Lakers back up by 1. 3 for 10 the knock out.
