I swear to yall ppl think that around this time tv was grainy because of videos the now teens watch have looked bad but this is the good quality we had even in 2008 i remember watching all this shit as an 18 or 19 year old and now im in my 30s and watching this while im at the workplace. Miss the hell outta all these players.
Man, forgot the classic Nets vs Pacers damn lol. Miller nearly past his prime here and still making clutch shots. And people especially the young ones didn't know how lethal J Kidd in his prime. Dude's a walking 3ple double and a magician with the ball.
Remember this series vividly, Yao was killing & Metta almost killed Kobe. Houston had to feel snake bitten cause that’s the only yr. Yao & T-Mac (was injured ironically) got out of first round
a few great Ray Allen playoffs games on top of my head: 2001 ECF bucks ray allen game 6 41 vs 76ers AI 46 2005 first round sonics ray allen game 4 45 vs kings Peja Stojaković 27 2009 first round celtics ray allen game 2 30 (+game winner) vs bulls ben gordon 42 2009 first round celtics ray allen game 6 51 vs bulls john salmons 35
Watching this makes me wonder how guys like Embiid can think that he would clan GOAT status if not for injuries. Yao is half a foot taller, weighs more but had way better foot work and a much higher bball IQ. Yao was also able to hit 3s, just wasn't asked to do it
Generally speaking no. When he was feeling it though he could bury team with a barrage of 3s. He was similar to luka where hes only good at hitting 3s of the dribble or contested.
The 1984 draft was historic draft… Akeem, Jordan and Barkley were 3 of the top 5 picks. Imagine after year 7 in the league Jordan left Chicago and Barkley left Philly and joined Hakeem in Houston… The 2003 draft was also a great draft. Lebron, Bosh, Wade were three of the top five picks. They did team up, after year 7… The term Super Team was COINED after the Heatles… were formed. Now young fans don’t understand that almost every NBA champion, had great talent. However, those teams were manufactured organically, either via trades or the draft. Occasionally, a player would join a team during free agency, but they were just talented teams… especially in the old NBA (80’s) before expansion and there were multiple teams that didn’t win championships, but had multiple all-stars, and some even had multiple HOF players…I can name a few, but my point is this… Not until LeBron took his talents to South Beach and “circumvented” the process was there any talk of “Super team” Fan like to point to the Celtics as a Super Team without context. First and foremost, KG, was on the tail end of his career, Both Ray Allen and Paul Pierce started their careers in the 90’s were bearing a decade in the NBA, and the Celtics were terrible the season before. Rondo, wasn’t “Rondo” yet, although KG was a fan and didn’t want him traded… and wanted to play with him… If anything Kevin McHale, did his former teammate Danny Ainge a favor and gave KG an opportunity late in his career, which had been done many times before with aging Superstars ~ ala Charles Barkley. No, other time in the history of the sport UNTIL Lebron did players collude behind the scenes and manipulate the process like Bron and D.Wade did along with Bosh… IN THEIR PRIME.
Is that what u took from this??? Man yall hilarious lol. This was the best team T-Mac ever had assembled around him. N if he was healthy they winning the chip tht year

Primetime games looked good but the home broadcasts looked grainy still
NBA so behind all the other sports. They still don’t have 4K quality in 2024 lol.
@@Ackshuallymmm They also have scattered rights for their old footages, resulted in them unable to release most of 60s-70s NBA games.
Facts
Best era of the NBA.
Hopefully new cats like Ant and Wemby can bring back the competitiveness from the 00s
ou
They won't because it's going to take more than those two
I remember Pierce VS Lebron when he was in Cleveland, they had like 45 and 50 points, that was epic
Shout out to Yao Ming. Best 2k Center of all time
Laker fan here. That Rocket's team deserves immense credit for how hard they played without Yao, but if was healthy, they would've won for sure.
Kevin Harlan will forever be a legend. Gonna miss him when he retires, he was a good huge part of my childhood
I feel the same way about Marv Albert. Marv was literally the best commentator in the history of televised sports.
Finally some love for the 2000s
For all basketball lovers 🏀🙏 good decades for basketball 👍
For sure man 🙂
Incredible compilation! thank you for putting this together, it was a great trip down memory lane. Keep up the great work, Dawkins!
That Steve Nash vs Tony Parker duel though!!!! Not to mention Duncan vs Stoudemire!!!
Man, forgot the classic Nets vs Pacers damn lol. Miller nearly past his prime here and still making clutch shots. And people especially the young ones didn't know how lethal J Kidd in his prime. Dude's a walking 3ple double and a magician with the ball.

We need this but for the 2010's NBA Playoffs
Kobe probably should have won that 2002 finals MVP. That was the finals that his numbers were close to Shaq.
Since we are living in AI era, we need to remaster all this old blurry games to FHD
early 2000s aka THE BEST ERA EVER!!!
Young wade was unstoppable
We can all say dirk did us a favor against 2012 heat
Had me in tears this is basketball
I give Yao a lot of respect for this currently playing with the 02-03 Rockets 🚀 Yao rookie year in 2K before seeing this🔥
2:58:24 how the ref called that not good is beyond ridiculous, either the ref had some money on the magic or he was just inept
Please more videos like this❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you listen tothis without the video it deadass sounds like 2K game play
Rip Kobe
a few great Ray Allen playoffs games on top of my head:
2001 ECF bucks ray allen game 6 41 vs 76ers AI 46
2005 first round sonics ray allen game 4 45 vs kings Peja Stojaković 27
2009 first round celtics ray allen game 2 30 (+game winner) vs bulls ben gordon 42
2009 first round celtics ray allen game 6 51 vs bulls john salmons 35
You mean the 2001 Game 6 ECF was a great Allen Iverson game? 😂
Ppl forget that Chris Bosh started this whole new school big men shit. Draymond just added defense to it.
Garnett started it
@rooseveltdarbey9493 stop it Garnett wasn't stepping to the 3pt line regularly he was shooting middys like Tim Duncan
Yao ming vs Wemby? That would be a great match up
Wemby would destroy Yao easily.
@@tomato-ir9xsyeah Yao was to fragile and too slow for wemby
@@tomato-ir9xsprobably
@@tomato-ir9xs no tf he wouldn’t y’all don’t know Yao was like that wemby wouldn’t even survive in the early 2000s ain’t none of that soft shit
2000s was soft as shit, since 1992 league got softer and softer plus they were also running slow asf in 2000s, worst era
Yao!
The first entry on here was the last time Yao was healthy.
Watching this makes me wonder how guys like Embiid can think that he would clan GOAT status if not for injuries. Yao is half a foot taller, weighs more but had way better foot work and a much higher bball IQ. Yao was also able to hit 3s, just wasn't asked to do it
11:35 i wouldve been hating on the lakers hard in this era😂, especially since they won in Philly on top of that too smh
Gilbert vs Lebron it's game 5
Some of the fouls Yao is taking with no calls would be illegal in the game today
How is LeBron VS Pierce 2008 semi finals game 7 not in this compilation? That was an epic game
amazing upload! just one quick note the Arenas and Lebron duel was game 5 not game 1
Sabonis is one of the only men that could actually defend Shaq without too much strength difference. The other might have been Yao.
Imagine Sabonis pre-injury.
Man I created a my era roster for 2k23 on pc and has the best players per team from 94 to today on each team super fun
Sound like a old head but new NBA has no character
Iverson didnt want the applause for losing!!! Og
good work my n
Shane Battier a good one cause you couldnt pay me enough money to get scored on 40 points a night in front of 25k people in attendance lmao
dallas vs kings was legendary
Only Yao respect her
Wow!
iconic
This was a great watch in this dry spot b4 fball kicks off - much appreciated
whoever made this is a mavs hater. didn't show that classic mavs spurs game 7 semis where dirk won the series for the mavs
Word. Let me roll.
REALLLLLLL POWERHOUSES BATTLING
🔥🔥
Boykins vs. bogues✌️⭐⭐
Kobe isnt dead
Kyle lowery still out there 🔥
Watching AI GO 1 vs 5 still piss me off
Guess BRON couldn’t shoot back then huh 🤔 smh
Generally speaking no. When he was feeling it though he could bury team with a barrage of 3s. He was similar to luka where hes only good at hitting 3s of the dribble or contested.
underrated shooter for sure, he's goat in my opinion
Best era
나도 저기서 사진찍었었는데! 😂
49:19 what is going on here
👏👏👏

Not until LeBron took his talents to South Beach and “circumvented” the process was there any talk of “Super team”
Fan like to point to the Celtics as a Super Team without context. First and foremost, KG, was on the tail end of his career, Both Ray Allen and Paul Pierce started their careers in the 90’s were bearing a decade in the NBA, and the Celtics were terrible the season before.
Rondo, wasn’t “Rondo” yet, although KG was a fan and didn’t want him traded… and wanted to play with him…
If anything Kevin McHale, did his former teammate Danny Ainge a favor and gave KG an opportunity late in his career, which had been done many times before with aging Superstars ~ ala Charles Barkley.
No, other time in the history of the sport UNTIL Lebron did players collude behind the scenes and manipulate the process like Bron and D.Wade did along with Bosh… IN THEIR PRIME.
Rasheed Wallace was the best of the 2000s dont @ me
Don’t worry, you can die on that hill by yourself lol
Ai a pit bull terrier
Shame about the refree😢
I’m one of the first😂
Yao sound black lol
That Rockets team made it to the 2nd round without TMac. Then took LA to game 7. I knew then Tmac was overrated
Is that what u took from this??? Man yall hilarious lol. This was the best team T-Mac ever had assembled around him. N if he was healthy they winning the chip tht year
THAT ARENAS VS L.B. JAMES. WAS CRAZY ! I REMEBER THOSE GAMES. KEPT ME ON THA EDGE OF MY SEAT. A REAL BATTLE FOR WIN'S......
Yea we definitely need a part 2
