Talk about the level of confidence he’s so smart he played pace Reggie before they even met in the summer because he knew the pacers were going to the finals dude is a tactical genius he knew pacers that year had a lot of potential and played Reggie in a one on one to feel him out
Sorry, still I just can't accept the unbelievably dragic death of Kobe and his daughter. I honestly cried more after that then when my 77 year old dad passed away last year. Kobe and Gianna especially had so much value in the life and had so much more to do. The loss of them both still makes no sence.
Travis Best really played with his heart right here... i am a big big fan of Reggie but i think he simply couldn't lead a team on his own all the time, his game was a basketball of flashes and sparks.
How does Travis Best not get the ball to Reggie for the last shot. He tried to play hero and threw up an airball. SMH. This was one of the best NBA Finals games of All-Time and I'm a Pacers fan.
I wasn’t alive for this, but I went and watched these finals, and to me it seemed like Best had a bad habit of over dribbling, and also was more of someone who looked for his own shot rather then Mark Jackson who was a distributor. I agree gotta get the ball in Reggie’s hands at the end of the game, he was rolling this game.
@@elevatorelliot714 For a point guard, especially a back-up, Best had a tendency to shoot too much. Case in point the game against Milwaukee earlier in these same playoffs when he shot 3 for 15.
EVEN AT THE END WHEN REGGIE COULD HAVE WON IT WITH 3 EVERYBODY WAS LIKE SUSH!!!! DONT GET YOURSELF INTO SOMETHING INDIANIA FANS THAT YOU GOTTA PULL YOURSELF OUT OF!!!!!!! THE GUILT STARTED KICKING IN
I miss Kobe so much. Wasn't even a Kobe fan. I just wish he was still alive to calm these Gen Z people about LeBron being better than Jordan, when he is no where near as good as Kobe. Kobe would set the record straight. I've always thought his death was suspicious once LeBron made it to LA
THIS IS THE QUITEST AND NBA FINALS GAME HAS EVER BEEN ITS SO QUIT THINK ABOUT IT!!! EVERYBODYS GOT THIS REAL SICK FEELING IF BIRD, MILLER, AND SMITTS BEAT MAGICS LAKERS O MY ******* ! THATS LIKE A FORETUNE TELLER READING YOUR PALMS AND SAYS U AINT GONNA GET LAID FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!!!
Yll keep talking bout kobe, shaq had 36/21. Plus horry and Shaw hit the go ahead baskets. Yeah kobe hit some shots and got the offensive rebound at the end. However the lakers where up when they gave shaq the phantom foul and never trailed when he left. Yll funny 🤣
I guess that's why Kobe led the Lakers to 3 straight finals and won 2 straight championships without Shaq and with no other top 75 all-time player as a teammate. Because he was "faster and better with Shaq"
That’s misleading because he got injured 9 minutes into game 2 so if you look at his averages in the full games he played it was actually 19.0 PPG. He was playing hurt the whole finals, and yes you’re right, it wasn’t good stats for Kobe and he also got crushed defensively, but he came up big when it counted, and that helped them win the series.
@@alp165 Nah everyone says Kobe is 9th all time he isn’t overrated l. If you think he is lower than 9th all time then you know nothing about basketball
Kobe was remarkable down the stretch. If only Reggie had hit that shot... Great game!
That shot looked good
Smith having the best angle to observe the shot was ready to celebrate..tells u how likely it could go in
what a heartbroken moment for the pacers
Pacers were solid team back in late 90's and early 00's. One of the powerhouses besides the Pistons.
They was suppose to win that one
20 year old poised Mamba … Gives me goosebumps

After this game Shaq about KB "He's now my Big Little Brother"
Kobe for life
One of fav Kobe games.
I’ve been blessed to see some great basketball, thank God for giving us Kobe, and thank Kobe for not being a waste of talent!
you could say that for many top superstar guys who worked hard to get to the top level
Shaq best center all time
Ben Wallace exists
Hakeem, Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Shaq

I feel bad for your poor father.
Still crazy that Travis Best was playing hero ball to win the game when Reggie is on the floor.

I dont understand how they couldnt have the score on the screen at all times lol
Man Bob Costas didn’t show much emotion this game. Lol

Eerily similar to the '87 Finals
Damn your right, Celtics won games 3 and 5, and I found game 3-5 in both finals pretty similar, especially game 4
Club Shay Shay brought me here.
great gameA

Shaq fouled out and Kobe carried the team on a sprained ankle.
Bob Costas doing commentary for NBC during '98-00 were terrible!
Here from a Jalen Rose short lol
😂travis best at the end of regulation

Yea yu clearly don’t knw the story 😂
KOBE WAS A LOT FASTER an better when he was playing with saq!!!!! This is really what made saq better than kobe and wilt beating kobe in his prime

Shack will never be better, stop being delusional.
THEY SAID HAD BIRD WON A CHAMPIONSHIP AS A COACH MAGIC WAS GOING TO COME BACK AND COACH THE LAKERS!! BY THE WAY SOMEBODY GET LARRY BIRD SOME COFFEE
Would make no sense to replace a 6 champion coach. He won it all with MJ and eventually Kobe for 11 chips.
Nba 2K24 better have a Kobe challenge like Jordan. Or I’m not buying it. 😊
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👏👏👏👏👏
WELL KOBE ONLY AVERAGED 15 PPG THIS SERIES
Who cares nigga. Without kobe, portland will advance to the finals, not lakers
Without kobe they lost the 3rd game then kobe comes back in this 4th game and they win.. you sound stoopid.
Ur a dufus
Without Kobe they lose game 4 and could of lost the series, plus kobe was playing on a bad ankle

You mean Kobe 😄
Shaq best center all time

HUH????
pacers at this point in the reggie era was in the wrong place at the wrong time. they played Shaq while he was in his absolute prime lol bbq chicken!!
