Me too

This is what we could different era's 😂😂

u mean before defense got removed,, and tons of players started putting up nba jam stats on the regular?

Man me too! Just the way they competed was incredible. I love it, I'm happy i was in this era and played in this era. We teach the kids at our basketball camps by showing them clips like this. We talked about this on our recent show for the NBA regular season wrap up..

I don’t seem to understand how the nuggets wasn’t able to win a single championship they actually had a decent line up

the way the game was played was also aesthetically pleasing

Yeah but imagine Jokic wearing these jerseys, it just wouldn’t look right 😅

He did wear something similar to these in his Rookie Year@@Chaz1724

Right! Iverson and Anthony just put that added swagger on it. I loved that silky blue. A jersey other people slept on was their alternate dark blue jerseys with the yellow mixed in.

@@chadwellington2524 right. You can tell players were looking for high-percentage shots on most possessions; now they jack up low-percentage, three-point shots.

Stacked West back then!

Was just 2 games between 1st and 6th seed. Wild

West was the real deal back in the day 😊

this team would of been top 3 if they were in the east conference lol crazy

Thats why we called the eastern conference the leastern conference. But the mainstream media will tell you otherwise.

RIP Rapist

saying that still doesn't even sound real...

@@hennyskinn5138 not at all man

What you want a cookie bih

It was actually beautiful basketball. I grew up loving basketball....loved playing it and watching. Only sport I actually enjoyed playing on a team never really liked football but now that this era has started where they just cross half court and jack up 3s has made me an NFL fan...I hardly watch my favorite sport anymore.

@@zachmccabe7510 bro... i have the same exact arc. i used to never watch football. basketball was the greatest sport in the world to me. now i watch football and barely watch basketball. so sad how trash the nba has become. adam silver and lebron will go down in history as the duo that killed it.

@@mikem4481 How is this LeBron's fault when it's Curry and the Warriors who revolutionized the game with 3 points shooting on their way to winning 4 in a decade. Brad Steven actually pioneered the analytics revolution. He was hired by the Celtics to compete with LeBron in the East, but it's the Warriors who realized the full potential of analytics. Now the analytics nerds run the NBA. Lebron is a victim of the new NBA. He would have had 10 rings by now. You just wanted a reason to hate on him.

@@mikem4481 actually its Curry's accuracy and depth (along with Lillard) with the 3 poiinter that killed it. Also the fact that the NBA refs have sucked the most this year, so its hard to even play defense. Not like defense is played anymore.

@@valoruniversity and who do the refs work for?

😂😂😂 the nuggets were an 8 seed but y'all leave out that part

@@Rambo20244won 50 games. Goes to show how deep the west was

@@jump6098 the west just feast off the weak east teams iverson and melo was just a fun team to watch we all know they wasn't winning anything with that roster

@@Rambo20244Lmao you like to lie through your teeth I see

@@fromfunkytown7502 bruh who had the nuggets beating any team in the west as an , 8th seed?

Talk about it 💯

96-08

and they say melo had no help and bring up iversons age smh

It was pretty crazy to watch

how many touches and shots did he get?

Except when he averaged 13 in the finals vs Boston and then 12ppg in 2012. If we're being honest Gasol was only food for 2 seasons where he scored 17 and 10rebs. Now lets go down the list with how many big men could give you 18 and 10 in that era.

Easy to say afterwards, im taking Gasol over Howard for example. Its not all about numbers, that Laker team needed some iq and some available star that could work well with Kobe. They only won 2 rings... @@GJG_3

@@GJG_3 not too many playing with Kobe

​@@pathtovortex its not about kobe, in the triangle offense a good big man will put up good numbers

@@rolltide7120 Pau did perform at important periods that helped win the chip. He was a really good player.

Nash > ai

@@juswolf22 Nash would tell you your wrong!

you from Canada ? )))@@juswolf22

Yeah, people forget how good Kleiza was. He was an assassin from behind the arc and could get points in a hurry.

Same man. Kobe is the reason why I love sports

so this rapist wast your mentor?

Same. He made it ok to be intensely passionate about your interests

facts! I was in middle school at the time

@@FreshlySnipez_ melo jersey was the first I owned NBA wise

i was 22 years old.

Hell yea

Ima LA native and 97 baby Kobe and Lakers/USC college football was my childhood since no NFL team was here and dodgers were bad..

Yeah and how everybody says LeBron is better when LeBron sucks, so yeah Kobe is better

clown comment@@tucko11

@@tucko11 no but this was kobes league for a reason

that first play of the game melo legit cooked and only took 2 secs and 3 dribbles, certified bucket.

@@tucko11 imagine saying to a x4 champ, x4 FMVP, x4 MVP who has better stats and advanced stats than your favorite player “sucks” lmao 💀😭

This was the only good game and maybe game 2

Facts

That's what im saying and he respected those guys cuz they did play hard like he wanted

That’s what the all time greats do. Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, etc all got great help from role players but they were the leaders.

he's old af in this game too, and about 20 injuries into his career

Na Kyrie perfected it

kyrie passed though lol

​@user-vx9gh2qg4f how is he old

@@user-vx9gh2qg4f He was 33 in this game. He wasn't quite over the hill yet. And, too, it also depends on the shape a player is in. Ray Allen was in his mid-late 30's still giving dudes the business on the court.

All facts spoken!!!🙏🏿

Had Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza not been injured, they would have beat Boston

@@choward5430 Facts!!!!

@@choward5430 idk man that 08 celtics looked too strong for the lakers that year(we were too new/raw)...we needed that loss to upgrade for Pau to get confident. Won 2 straight after.

@@johnchoi4473 Boston won game 4 in '08 and that was the series. Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza would've done something!

😢 rip Kobe

Anthony Edwards comes close

​@edwardmorales8144 thank you professor

I get what you saying but Pau Gasol was a Superstar when he was with the Memphis Grizzlies. But he has said that Kobe is best teammate he ever had so you aren't wrong

@@jbugz134 Do you know what a superstar is? Lmfao Pau was an all star sure not a superstar

Iverson deserved 1 ring

And jr smith

it's AI's prime because its kobe's prime too

@@user-yo1ow1qj3g iverson is 3 years older than kobe and didn’t have the work ethic of Kobe which unfortunately shortened his prime years (partying, drinking, not practicing, etc). Not hating on A.I here i’m just speaking facts, he openly admits it.

@@multiplepassions3694 HE AINT never said he dont have the work ethic as kobe.... he stated the extra length kobe wasnt for him..that didnt make kobe more or less talented than him....to play at that level requires very high work ethic especially for how long he played.. you are hating...being in the nba itself requires work ethic dont downplay the league

@@NETBU I literally just said how good Allen Iverson was in the original post bro 🤣 how could i be hating? He clearly states in many interviews that he would skip practice sometimes, and when kobe went to the gym he was at the club. I can post links if you want, i got the receipts. Stop being so sensitive, i’m not hating just repeating what allen iverson said himself

#RentFree

Gasol is a hall of famer and had a better game than Kobe this game with 36pts 16rebs and 3blks y’all stans minimize one’s greatness to build whoever y’all like better up

​@@TurtlEfrmdaManor..... exactly right ..... & i'm a big fan of kobe24 ..... you didn't even mentioned,andrew bynum & derek fisher (who's a solid starting pg) ....

@@TurtlEfrmdaManorand Kobe had 49 points and 10 assists on 18-27 from the fg in Game 2. Pau was without a doubt great and the missing key for their success, but Kobe was the Black Mamba for a reason. He deserved those finals MVPs.

Same applies to Melo and T-Mac

@@merv3930 TMac never even got to Kobe...he was out in round 1

Nope

Too Quik

Insane

The West was super competitive back then

Dude that team had Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby for defense how much more defense needed

NBA is a script
