This is when I started watching the Lakers. Sucks that they didn’t win it all that year but at least I got to say I watched Kobe and Shaq play together. Legendary stuff.
They defeated themselves against Detroit. Their stupid egos is what caused them to let opportunity to slip through their hands. Even Chauncey Billups on that '04 Pistons title squad said that LA should've beaten them
@@eamparbeng Lol Pistons defense was a killer Malone and Payton age really showed and all they had was Kobe and Shaq.

who watched this videos because of the 2024 wolves game 7 win 🖐️
✋
wolves winning the title in 2025 and 2026..
It's a Miracle that the Lakers reached the NBA Finals in 2004. Shaq and Kobe carried the Team, with no chemistry... It's the best game from Malone with The Lakers.
Sorry, but you didn’t watch this team play. If you did, You would know that the Lakers were 18-3 before Malone got hurt. Malone was the glue for that team and was killing before his injury, even Derek Fisher admitted that Malone’s injury was what kept that Lakers team from winning another chip. Shaq even said that had Malone not gotten injured he would’ve stayed in LA. That injury ruined everything, and when Malone came back he wasn’t the same and the Lakers were in shambles.
@@alexandervelasquez1830 Phil Jackson said in his book 11 Rings, that this "team" had no chemistry, and it was a miracle they reached the NBA FInals. Even Fisher and Fox admitted.
@@TheDignamno sir. They had chemistry that they gained after the injuries during the season they gained it back against the Spurs. Btw this was not Malones best game. His best game was against the Rockets in gm 4
Potential matchup for this Season Western Conference Finals. If both team make it again.
It is
@@jyruss18.nah, Lakers aren’t playing
ten years later I still wonder what the hell happened to this team in the nba finals...
the 2004 pistons were just that good, one of the best teams to play to be honest. it happens at least they made it to the finals and weren't bounced out early.
Underdogs
Randy Magnum I wouldn't really call the 04 Pistons one of the greatest teams of all time. They were a great defensive team and they forced opponents (Lakers included) into playing their style of ball. But you're gonna try and lump them in with teams like the 86 Celts, 88 Lakers, 96 Bulls, 01 Lakers ect? I don't think so!
dixonmixin10 01 lakers weren't that great they just had little composition because their team was so stacked compared to others. The 01 Lakers would of lost 4 - 2 at best lol.
Twink Skill Capped (TSC) Competition*
Karl Malone was balling
This is not the Lakers vs Tim's highlights. It's Lakers Highlights
Malone at 40 played better and guard KG the league`s MVP.
Lol KG average 24-14-5, Malone average 12-9-5. Lol how'd he play better? Unless you meant something else?
At this game bro
I AM SO PISSED AT THAT TIME THE FORMER STARTERS OF WOLVES WALLY AND TROY ARE NOT THERE DUE TO INJURIES.. IMAGINE IF THOSE 2 WERE THERE...
Soon as Minnesota lost game 1 I knew they couldn't beat the Lakers!
They would have a better chance against San Antonio
Did it show any shots and great plays from the T-wolves because all I just saw in the highlights was plays from the LA Lakers

Man this team should of won the chip they looked so good in this serious the ball was moving around everyone was getting there buckets. Detroit was good but damn this team had it 😭💯
The Timberwolves defense was atrocious! Wide open dunks and wide open 3s..but to answer your question Pistons had a different game plan..let Kobe and Shaq do their thing still guard em but let them do what they do and shut everyone else out.
@@kennethhill613 Minnesota didn’t have the personnel to do what Detroit did
@@X02Overdose Right, Karl Malone was more hobbled during the finals..not saying that was the reason..but that gave Sheed a more clear advantage in the paint..who else was there that they had to go against him? Medvendenko or Cook? LOL Rip was a match up problem, Tayshauns length worked well against Kobe, Payton was non existent But what i didn't get....I feel the Spurs should have had em..maybe Spurs feared Lakers..I don't want to say 0.4 was the reason..shouldnt have come to that..
Shaq is savage!!!!!
That West conference final a true classics between the Timberwolves and the Lakers right there, it was KG against the late great Kobe Bryant that went 6 games for the Lakers to take down KG and the Timberwolves
IF THEY PLAYED LIKE THAT AGAINST THE PISTONS, THEY WOULD HAVE WIN ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP.
cnt imagine how this team didnt get a ring
They ran into a great defenseve team that was red hot in the playoffs they really had no shot
+Mikeilivesthelife injuries brotha
+robbereal1982 yes that too
Injuries Malone injury affected big time
read Phil Jacksons book The Last Season and you'll wonder how they even made it to the finals. The team had zero chemistry
@8:34 GOD Damn could you imagine Shaq playing like that in the NBA today? Fuck BBQ Chicken LOL
LA win Game 1 in Minneapolis!
Lakers ran into them Bad Boys lolol...
still pissed about getting our asses kicked in the finals. Pistons deserved it, they flat out took us to the woodshed.
KG says they broke Lebron but the '04 Lakers broke KG into his last playoff run in Minnesota
💯
I didn't even remember the Wolves being this good.lol Why did Garnett wanna leave so bad if he had this team in the W.Conf Finals not long before he bounced?
Joe Zigmand In fact, Garnett didn't want to leave the Timberwolves back in 2007, it was a choice of the direction to trade him and try to rebuild. He also took the opportunity that was given to him to play with Pierce and Allen to form the Big Three in Boston and win the championship in 2008.
Garnett won mvp this year
Joe Zigmand wolves traded him...
The Wolves missed the playoffs 3 straight seasons after this
olowokandi got rapped by shaq
Pistons just got lucky karl malone got injured...should have been 4peat
Not 4 peat the spurs won the championship in the year before
Pistons should've won back to back tbh
Crazy they say this lakers team were hard and wash and almost won the title
No Malone was close to the end. This "team" of the Lakers had no chemistry (said Phil Jackson in his book 11Rings), and it was a miracle that they reached the NBA Finals.
