The wild comeback finish to the 2000 Lakers-Blazers playoff series deserves a deep rewind
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Before there was a Lakers dynasty, there was a crucial moment in the final minute of Game 7 of LA's 2000 Western Conference Finals series against the Portland Trail Blazers. And before THAT, there was ... so much important background and context.
This episode of Rewinder covers what came before the moment. That includes the collapse of the Chicago Bulls dynasty that began after their third title in 1998. That includes the rise of Kobe and Shaq, their run through the 2000 playoffs, and the big lead the Lakers had in this series. It includes the fully formed Blazers Megatron, and their comeback from a 3-1 deficit. It includes a lot of whistles, and a tremendous fourth-quarter collapse.
The moment that punctuates all this is iconic, and to truly appreciate it, you've gotta rewind.

you didn't have to post this
Oh...geez...ok this is awkward. I..I didn’t know you came around here. I hope we can be friends?
Oh dear...
@@SecretBaseSBN 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Portland Trailblazers are trash lol. We all already know that.
That blazers team was stacked. Sabonis, Resheed Wallace, Scottie Pippen, Steve Smith, Damon Stoudimire, Even having a young Jermaine O’Neal
Jay Waz and a very young Zach Randolph
Yes. One of the most talented teams in NBA history. Smh. Should have won 😞😤😑
J.J. Barrientes He wasn’t on the 2000 blazers. He got drafted in 2001
That was the old saying. Blazers had 10 of the best 12 players in this series, but you can only play 5 of them at once... And the Lakers had the best 2 players.
But the Lakers had the refs though..m
lol Damon Stoudamire was such a non-factor in this series that he didn't even get mentioned in the entire video despite being the starting PG. I don't know if that was deliberate but good on you either way.
SB nation y'll some ga y as s dic kriding bandwagons thats for sure. We really gonna act like this series wasn't rigged for Kobe and Shaq? You've already said that you don't think the 2002 WCF vs the kings was rigged for the Lakers which is BLASPHEMOUS: thats the most rigged series in NBA history. Now this? I can smell Kobe c um on your breath from here smh
@@hannibalbarca1905 get over it lmao there is no need to get your panties in a bunch that happen almost 20 years ago
Lol ok salty king’s fan. Nearly everything is rigged in sports.
BTW I’m a TimberWovles fan.
No it certainly was a little rigged
I’m a blazers fan and I’m tying my noose as this plays
@The Remnant you wrong for that. 😂😂😂
I bet you did that as yall got swept by my Warriors
@@kvngirvng9475 honestly, we all saw it coming. The fact that we beat the nuggets itself was a complete shockm
@Johnny Wong don't count on it
@Johnny Wong No he won't. With the way stars are stacking these days he'd need another all NBA caliber player or possibly 2 to be legit threats. You can't realistically ask him to beat a team like the Lakers or Clippers when he's the third best player on the court.
Shaq really did get crazy ref preference, especially in the WCF during the 3peat
Ryan Sansaricq He Was The Best/Most Dominant Player In The League i.e. “The Jordan Rules”
@@airpegasus5167 yeah Bron, Kobe and definitely Jordan all got some very favorable calls or no calls
Ryan Sansaricq Steph Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Etc. The NBA Has To Protect It’s Money Makers/Stars
Stay true to the game and piss off 200 million fans around the world or bend the rules, protect the superstar and piss off the 10,000 fans who have played the game and know actually the game? Such a difficult conundrum for the NBA....
2000 and 2002 were just flat out rigged.
Such an important game when you think of all the ramifications
shaq kobe phil split up if they lost up 3-1...trust me...that thing was waiting to come apart
If they lost Phil would have tried to get the lakers to trade Kobe. Phil and shaq hated a young Kobe.
No way Nba would rigg such a game😂😂😂...
@@VojkanTrifunovicrigged or not no excuse for the trailblazers to blow a 15 pt lead
I remember watching this series, back when I was really into the NBA. So strange to think Kobe's not alive anymore.
Pippen disappeared in 90' ECF G7. 10 yrs later he re-disappeared in 00' WCF G7. In b/t there's that infamous 94 ECSF 1.8 sec. Poor lad seemed to go haywire under pressure.
RIP Kobe Bryant and GiGi 🙏❤🏀
Speaking of former Bulls, Dennis Rodman was on the Lakers for 15 games in 99. Also for the 2000 season, Phil Jackson wanted the Lakers to get Scottie Pippen, but his salary was too high for Lakers ownership.
id rather have pippen then rice
There should be a Collapse based around the Jail Blazers after this game
Jay Villa true they did make back-to-back conference finals only to lose to better teams
SB nation y'll some ga y as s dic kriding bandwagons thats for sure. We really gonna act like this series wasn't rigged for Kobe and Shaq? You've already said that you don't think the 2002 WCF vs the kings was rigged for the Lakers which is BLASPHEMOUS: thats the most rigged series in NBA history. Now this? I can smell Kobe c um on your breath from here smh
Matthew Spurs lmao if you wanna make the case about the Kings series ok fine but this one? You gotta do some real gymnastics for a reach that good. Blazers choked this one away. Don’t matter who you playing, you go that cold in the 4th quarter of a playoff game you gonna lose period.
@@J.J.Barrientes I don't know if you're talking about 2000 here but to say the lakers were the better team is a stretch. Blazers just choked straight up. Those teams were even.
Andy hoop I think has done this.
I remember being pissed off watching these series and the one against the Kings a year or so later... now I can recall why I hate those biased refs years.
2 years later this is 2000 you meant 2002 kings la....2001 la went 15-1 in the playoffs 11-0 in the west
refs still biased now, but at least back then the announcers could mention it lol
I remember that I used this clip in my slideshow and everyone of the basketball fans were going crazy over that
Ac Milan collapse (2007-2019)
Amen
2007 - Present
2007 - Forever.
Now they really back 😈
@@luismoreno2688 with a 39 year old striker yeah..
You should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"
H town in here!!
SB Nation: *heart beat*
Me: This is going to be a good one.
Guil Laurente Just makes it even better and keeps you anticipating for more
I love how at 3:35 Larry David is chillin. Lookin. Like he's gonna trip shaq
At the very least he’s weighing the pros and cons of tripping him lmao
Game 6 in this series in Portland was my first ever nba game. The rose garden was so loud and that was the game that turned me into an nba fan when i was 10 years old.
Still one of my favorite series! Rasheed was my boy back then I can't believe this is about to be 20 years ago!😵
"Wells got his S#!+ swatted by Kobe" that had me rolling
and now this moment is even more GOLD RIP KOBE
gold? it really makes his first ring seem a bit.. bronze.. He won because of Shaq, sure, but he also won because of refs, and that's never a good look...
Gold? He was gifted this moment by the NBA. They rigged it against the blazers, then again in 02 against Sacramento
The image of Shaq running down the court after the alley oop is what I will always picture when I think of the Lakers
Man looking back at it now, growing up I was too young to notice how much conspiring and fixing was going on. I do remember every team complaining to the league of fouls called guarding Shaq. But seeing the score going into the 4th quarter really shows how a team mostly had defenders than scorers. Times have changed!
the 2000 blazers should of shot more threes specifically damon smith and sheed vs the lakers while pippen and sabonis should of taken way less...sheed smith and damon made their threes yet it was pippen who was taking most of them and sabonis almost took as many as sheed and damon and made less...the blazers cost themselves..la had no shooting outside of rice
@@razkable Damon Stoudamire* I agree, Dunleavy dropped the ball in crunch time and a good coach in the that moment would have made adjustments before it was too late. Now, granted, it is hard to gameplan around foul trouble too. Especially when you have to go to the 10th man off the bench in the PLAYOFFS which never usually happens. I am not trying to take all the blame away from them, they did deserve to lose.
@@razkable kind of hard to shoot a bunch of 3s with guys all up in you… I guarantee if they shot more 3s it would have went even worse…
This was one of the best moments of my childhood . Nine year old me went absolutely insane. The begining of a dynasty and one of my happiest moments as a Lakers fan.
To dig deep in this comeback, we've gotta talk about Pippen.
In 1983, rapper Future was born
My earliest sports memory is watching that lob from Kobe to Shaq as a Blazer's fan. It has taught me that sports only teases you with possiblity and gives you just enough hope to then take it away like the cold uncaring thing that is it. And we always think it won't happen again.
Damn I usually know my stuff but I didn’t know the Lakers missed 6 free throws in the last 40 seconds. Portland really blew this.
Supermariohoops24 the refs horsefucked em
hoosier3060 I know the part about the refs, but you also gotta consider that Portland had chances. I’m pretty sure they only had like 4 points in the first 8 minutes of the quarter which is pretty terrible, whether or not the refs are for/against you
That Kobe to Shaw play still gives me chills of nostalgia (Laker fans know what I’m talking about). It had been more than 10 years since our last title and this series was an emotional roller coaster.
We need a 2010 Finals rewind, lakers vs Celtics
The Ron Artest shot?
sgaxnikolaix661 21 free throws in the 4th?
@@steeguzman8726 don't recall
sgaxnikolaix661 look up the stats. If you watched the game live you knew the refs couldn’t let the old big three Celtics beat the darling kobe lakers twice especially with how embarrassing the first finals was for kobe and gasol
@@steeguzman8726 I'm good fam
I don't know how I haven't seen your channel until now, but I'm loving it.
The officiating was ... sketchy to say the least
“Welcome to a moment of history”
That’s 🥶 chills man
Please do a rewinder on the 2008 F1 Finale in Brazil! The home country hero losing the title on the last turn of the last lap of the last race, can't get any more dramatic than that
Billy P. Bertrand that will never happen on this channel.
@@andrewr7982 Doesn't hurt to propose the idea
It’s been almost 20 years now. That game 7 loss was BY FAR the most most painful loss that I have ever experienced in my sports life! With the Lakers up 3-1 in the series with games 5 and 7 in LA if it even went that far, everybody was calling the series “OVER” taunting the Blazers. To come all the way back to the point where Portland had a 15 point lead with 10 minuets remaining in game 7, it was all right there!! To sit there and watch it all just crumble away was absolutely devastating being a lifelong Blazers fan! Even 20 years later it still bothers me whenever it’s brought up.
Really appreciate this vid. I always felt like this team was robbed. NBA used to be really rigged & the deck was really stacked against the Blazers but David Stern was not having these guys representing the league. They were a rough bunch. The type of guys Stern tried so hard to get rid of plus Stern just loved the Hollywood Lakers. The calls were ridiculous & Sabonis was a problem for Shaq getting him out was a big game changer as well
It still is today. The whole 23 WCF felt like Nuggets was doing 5 VS 8 against LeFraud.
@@TellenJones classic Jordan cockrider
thank you for dredging up so much anguish, frustration, despair and rage. Just what my 40 degree rainy wednesday needed.
Rasheed said Dunleavy calling that last time out screwed their momentum and gave the Lakers time to regroup
Sheed don't lie.
This was an amazing game. Will always be a classic.
I was at this game. It was the best game for us Laker fans. I remember Shaw sinking 3's, Shaq making free throws, and Portland throwing up bricks. The 4th quarter was electric, and that last Kobe-Shaq alley-oop was magic!
Man I loved this blazers...
This game broke my heart. I've have never been more emotional at a finish to a game more in my lifetime. But the basketball gods weren't on the blazers side. The amount of shots that went halfway down and then popped out and the refs gave the lakers 6 points on bad calls
Not a blazers fan and the refs gave them far more than that. Not a kings fan and they received the same treatment as Portland. Bad calls happen, it’s part of the game and isn’t usually such a deciding factor but those lakers teams benefited from some really awful officiating, it was egregious!
Portland and Sacramento both deserved far better. Lakers fans have no right to ever complain about officiating, things are so rigged in their favor it’s egregious
This guy, I like to hear from him not the other guy
old heads: “the league is soft nowadays”
but gets a technical for staring 🤦🏿♂️
antony gonzales maybe more to it my guy
I give that tech 7 Joeys.
Personalities have gotten nastier and more aggressive now, to my dismay. The game itself had more physicality to it before, with hand-checking & rugged paint play. Although you didn't ever usually get ejected for starring at a ref in any era, Rasheed was clearly doing it to try an intimidate the ref in a bully fashion, already had a technical for something else, and had already been warned previously in this game to not do that.
If you look in to it and see how hard sheed was on the refs, that would tell you why the league is so soft now.
@@hansmransm8835 But Sheed wasn't soft at all, his mouth was dirty, and he was always trying to push the envelope, to see just how much he could get away w/ (particularly w/ the refs, as you eluded to).
Bro that crossover by Kobe was lethal. It made the play.
“Wells got his shxt SWATTED by Kobe.” 😂
Gosh, I remember watching this moment on tv so vividly! It wasn't even the finals but everyone knew at this point L.A. was winning the chip :-)
Any of the 49ers "Catches" that won Playoff games would be perfect for this series
I am a Portland native and was 12 years old when this game was played. I watched it live, and it is such a vivid memory, such an intense heartbreak... still makes me sick to this day. Ugh...... great video though :-(
"Bryant to SHAQ... from the brink of elimination to the brink of the NBA Finals!" That Bob Costas call was one of the best I've ever heard in sports only second to the Joe Buck call of the Ronde Barber pick-6 that demolished Veteran Stadium.
HOT

That Blazers team was so great and so underrated. They really blew it
THIS JUST LIKE LAKERS VS KINGS ... REFS HANDED LAKERS THE GAME.
No they didn't. Blazers shot more free throws in the other games, wouldn't have happened if they cared to rig it.
Everybody has to just be jealous and make excuses
Do a Rewind on Ron Artest's three-pointer to put the Lakers up 6 with a minute to play in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals!! Both of them happened inside Staples Center and have Rasheed Wallace end up losing the series! They were a beginning and ending to Kobe's successful championship runs!
Sorry but rigged. Steve Smith foul is a key evidence. I love Kobe and Shaq though.
Oldskoolbball My man, you have the best basketball account on gram. Been since 13k, salute to you
Trash
This is one of my favorite playoff series' of all time
A series with John Salley, Scottie Pippen, and Phil Jackson. Rasheed Wallace facing the Lakers.
...But no team in this series was named the Bulls or Pistons.
What a world.
don't forget ron harper ...also rodman was on the lakers that season before as well again not on the pistons or bulls lol ..and mj was retired the knicks were in the east finals...what a time
Rodman was on season before.
Nice video, you think you guys could do a collapse episode on those eagles teams that made 4 straight NFC championships and nearly beat the patriots or those bills teams that loss 4 straight Super Bowls?
They definitely deserve 1. A very talented pro bowl laden team. But unlike the Broncos were losing Before the super bowl 3 of the 4 chances. Then lost in super bowl In the 4th. Might be now that I say it MOST DISAPPOINTING NFL TEAM.
Yeah Max Payne, that could be a great video!
what about the 80s browns who went to 3 afc title games in 4 years. losing all 3 to the broncos
@@charismatic9904 They were DISAPPOINTING but at the time it was something about that team..I didn't think they could beat Elway.
The Raiders of the 70s LOST 5 championship games in 7 yrs. 7 of 8. From 70'- 78'.
The 49ers' surprisingly lost 4 out 5 in the 90's. (Mostly because of Cowboys run). From 90'-97'. All 4 Losses were at Home!😨😯.
But the eagles were mostly home losers but all in a row then win and get to superbowl and lose by 3 in last minutes.....🤢🤕😩😰. Most DISAPPOINTING
Yall forget that the Eagles won SB 52 haters always want to point out the negatives
You guys should do a Leicester City 15-16 season rewind. With the Eden Hazard goal as the beginning part of the Rewind.
When the Monstars steal the Trail Blazer’s talents in the 4th quarter
“Refs”
Those old Blazers unis though, fantastic
I love these!!!! Can you do Tim Duncan’s “laughing” against my mavs?
Blazers never trailed. Well played sir, well played
Please do Vince Carter's Olympic dunk pleaseee
He's so boring why watch him
This game and Game 4 2002 break my whole heart everytime
In memory Of Kobe Bryant do a rewind of his final game and or do Beef History of him and Shaq
that would be awesome
The penalty shootout in the 2005 Champions League final definitely deserves a deep rewind.
Or just the 2005 Champions League final in general
Why don’t y’all do a rewinder of Ronda Rousey getting KO’d by Holmes. 🤣🤣🤣
I hate to say this but Portland did this before. 15 point lead in the 4th quarter against Chicago in game 6 of the 92 Finals. Watching this game as it originally happened I instantly thought it could happen again. And it did.
This was a classic series between the lakers and blazers and after Portland lost in seven to the lakers,the jail blazers era started from 2000 to 2005...now the rip city blazers are still contending and are on the rise...
New SB Nation video, oh boy oh boy time to put on my Ripcity Jersey, shimmy with my Walton bobblehead, take a snack out of my Drexler lunchbox and get ready to enjo- Oh.
I didn't realize how many tragic moments litter the Trail Blazers' history books. Goodness gracious.
I’m not a NBA fan so I have no dog in this fight but it’s clear that the league weighted this game in favor of the lakers to prop up their stars- Kobe and shaq.
Jordan had his game winning shot in North Carolina, Magic had game seven of the 1980 NBA Finals and Kobe had this game. The legend begins.
That "drive to lob ally oop" is now a staple in every NBA teams offense. Quite rare back then.
Incorrect, Magic had Game 6 in Philadelphia.
TO THIS DAY, I CANT BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A REWIND ON SA SPURS’ SEAN ELLIOTT’S MEMORIAL DAY MIRACLE SHOT IN SAN ANTONIO. YOU GUYS HAVE LET ME DOWN.
It was rough being a Blazers fan during the 90's and early 2000's. They always always fell to either the Pistons, Bulls, or Lakers
Do the cavs and warriors 2016 nba finals comeback!
When he said Steve Smith I immediately thought sandpaper. If you get that reference you are a legend
Things to be told/noted:
1. Much of this had to do with the dominance of a 21-year-old Kobe Bryant, who shut down whichever guard he was covering
2. Bryant regained the lead with a couple of free throws. Then he put a bucket between the eyes of one of the greatest defensive players of all-time.
3. With just over a minute left, Bryant danced with Scottie Pippen, used an inside-out dribble to shake him off, and rose up for a well-contested jumper that still fell through.
Can you do liverpool's comback in the 2005 champions league final. It is most likely the best comeback in soccer history.
Kobe and Shaq: Beef History
I think that will be a nice in-depth video.
I'm a Celtics fan but I was rooting so hard for the blazers plus Rasheed is one of my favorite players I was so mad
Can you guys please do a Rewinder video on the Elway helicopter play? There's plenty of backstory there and I'd like to see some Broncos love. You guys rock!
BOUT TIME WE GOT A REWINDER
y’all should a Collapse episode of the Thuggish Nuggets (AI, Melo, Billups, etc.)
This was Kobe’s fourth year in the league, and it was his third year as an All-Star. People forget that Kobe was voted in in his second year, even though he was coming off the Lakers’ bench at the time.
Imagine Blazers Pacers in the 00 final
Blazers in 7 !
Forgive my ignorance... Who did the Pacers have that year besides Jalen Rose and Reggie Miller? I genuinely don't remember.
three6ohchris rick Smits dale Davis
Blazers in 6 or 7
Is it was Blazers Pacers that would have been a real even match up that could have went either way. Because Indiana can play the gritty physical style that would frustrate Portland yet Portland can explode offensively with Pippen's floor general game with wings like Wallace and Steve Smith. The difference would be who had the better point guards at the clutch moments.
finally u upload a rewinder
Tiger woods 2019 masters win deserves a rewinder!!
I'm just so impressed by the defensive fundamentals and box outs in these highlights. Remember defense?
Please do Sidney Crosby's OT goal against USA for the gold medal in the Winter Olympics. Very important moment for hockey and definitely deserves a rewind.
rejects5525 would love to do this, the trouble is using Olympic footage is super tough, but I’ll see what we can do
@Bruce Wayne's Boss who mentioned baseball?
Game 2 of the 2011 NBA Finals Rewinder pretty please?
Jolly good show, dear boy!
Man do I miss when the NBA was like this. Absolutely loved watching the tight battles in the playoffs. The league today I just miss all the defense and physical play. Everybody launching uncontested jumpers because 90% of the players are too lazy to man up on somebody!
This Finals run is why I'm a fan of NBA basketball 20 years later.
I think it's cool Shareef (Shaq's son) got his dad's famous pose tattooed. Consider that's exactly who Shaq was pointing to, his son 🙂
I still can't believe that Wallace ejection over staring 😂😂😂😂😂
He well deserved it if you watched the whole game.
This game crushed me
“Phil Jackson left as coach” that statement could not be more inaccurate
Great video! I never realized that Kobe drive was on Pippen or that the Rasheed looking at the ref tech was in the freaking playoffs.
It was how he was looking at the ref.
Reminds me when Rockets missed 27 consecutive 3pt attempts in WCF game 7 against the warriors while holding a 13pt lead in the 4th qtr. Rockets shot almost 38% from the 3pt line all season. They should’ve made at least 9 of those missed 3s which would’ve led to a Rockets win by 17pts instead of a 10pt loss.
I was honestly having a good day until you posted this.
If the Blazers would've won then Scotty Pippen would have 7 rings, one more than Jordan. 🤔
The Pacers would have beaten the Blazers
😂 never Lakers all day
@@BigPoppa931 I could see it going either way since they were both pretty similar

david stern mistakenly pronounced it scott pippen at the draft and people have been spelling scottie ever since.
