I’m a Lakers fan so I’m glad they won that series. With that said, that Blazers team was by far the deepest team I’ve ever seen. They had 10 players that could be starters. Basically 2 starting lineups
@@belak1551 even with shaqs free throws lakers still shot 9 more free throws dummy and u can’t just say oh take shaqs free throws off😂 they didn’t hack a Shaq they played great defense. N the fact blazers only shot 16 is ridiculously compared to the lakers.
That 2000s blazers was one of the deepest teams besides the 2008 Celtics in the 00s. They might of been outside their prime a little but they where still playing like all stars specially that series.
90's was tougher but early 2000's Was tough too 2000 till about 2004 mid 2000's were good too 2005 till 2014 were good The NBA did not start getting real soft till around 2015 till now
@@adampruitt9211 I swear when Adam Silver stepped in as in new commissioner, I was already kinda worried, because its someone new, and as soon as he said he was trying to speed the game up, and make offense more entertaining, I knew the game was finished, first season tip kicks off, and I notice the game looks dark, gloomy, and dead, already saw his impact unfold on the NBA court, and stopped watching games on television and just highlights
@@cesar5478 Naw... my man- I was front and center at game 7 of that series at Staples Center. It was a surreal game and time - the Blazers had the Lakers bottled up leading by 15 early in the fourth quarter. Then something turned- the Blazers either panicked or just tried to nurse their lead and suddenly the Lakers stepped up their defense - Kobe was a straight up dawg on D on Bonzy Wells and the other Blazers went cold- and Brian Shaw hit some 3s as did Rick Fox and Kobe scored and the momentum shifted. Then came the famous spectacular Kobe crossover on Pippen in the lane and threw the alley oop pass to Shaq- and that sealed it!!
Horace Grant was in La Lakers at the 2000.The professional world is so entangled, yesterday's teammates are the opponents. Today's team-mate will be tomorrow's opponent. Only a lot of talented people survive in the professional world.
they use to do hack a Shaq and the big dumb ox would miss every free throw and cry about it but the refs kept helping the Lakers out....most rigged series of all time
Danny Ainge says stop whining. All he did was cry. He elbowed him in his sore ribs. Dirty play. Hypocrite Pippen didn't like when Rodman shoved him out of bounds.
That time when the Portland Trailblazers lost to the L.A. Lakers were hot back then who want's to see trash players like Rasheed becomes Most Valuable Player of the NBA Finals anyway.
That Portland team was deep asf
Yeah they should’ve won that series
Right! They remind me of the Sacramento kings teams of the early 2000's.
Jail blazers 🙄
@@JohnThomas-yf3gw The Lakers were better they beat them in 7 Games THE BETTER TEAM WON!!! THE END!!!
@@adampruitt9211 The more marketable team won...the end.
That Blazers team was absolutely stacked. Their bench could have probably beat half the teams in the league.
They were like the modern day Clippers
“Suck it up go to the free throw line and quit whining.” That commentator should see today’s NBA.
Wallace to the stuttering Ron Harper:
"SH-SH-SH-SHUT UP!" 😂😂😂

Just a bit too old but they beat themselves in game 7 they took bad shots while they were up
Yall rob Portland
 free throws attempted.. Lakers 35. Blazers 16.. That game was officiated one sided
@@TheSands83lol or the lakers have a guy named Shaquille O’Neal on their team.

Forgot how much Wallace added to the vibe of the NBA.
I almost forgot Detlef was a Blazer
damn i wish pippen won a title with the blazers. he'd get alot more respect instead of just being MJs sidekick
He gets respect plenty my man
@@mojebi3804 no he doesnt. everyone thinks MJ did everything

Exactly, a chip would have shed the sidekick label just like Kobe winning on his own.

I miss these types of games.
That 2000s blazers was one of the deepest teams besides the 2008 Celtics in the 00s. They might of been outside their prime a little but they where still playing like all stars specially that series.
I forgot how loaded those two teams were back then
super teams
Great rivalry that year...
This was right before Blazers had Zach Randolph and Ruben Patterson 😂
Tough to see pip in that situation knowing just a couple years back no one could touch him and the bulls
Yeah, the Dale Davis/Robert Horry exchange was not in the 2000 WCF, that was sometime next year.
Yeah cause Dale Davis was still with the Pacers in 2000
Miss the 90s games compare today too soft, load management etc. 🤦
One of the most underrated series
Nba totaly changed that year, particularly after those finals. People say 90s era was tough but early-mid 2000s NBA was HOT under the rim.
90's was tougher but early 2000's Was tough too 2000 till about 2004 mid 2000's were good too 2005 till 2014 were good The NBA did not start getting real soft till around 2015 till now

This was real basketball. Not now, when any little touch is an ejection.
Stop complaining
The blazers were close To beat the lakers ...
the refs were all in for team yellow
@@jonmcmann6811 Man, this is so true. I wasn't even a Blazers fan, & I could see it was blatant.
@@chrisb8655 and it would get even worse in 2002 making the Lakers beat the Kings.
@@chrisb8655
I'm a Laker fan, and I saw it 😂
Great series though, that alley oop is iconic...
The commisioner also was all in for team yellow, and he wasn't shy about it
Tough ass series. The Portland team deeper than the deep Lakers the time. Went 7 games!
They cheated for the Lakers!

Phantom fouls, Blazers missed shots, and momentum changed the game.
Imagine all the ejections if todays refs called those games....😂
True fucked right
I miss the old days
@1:14 Rasheed mocking Ron Harper's stuttering condition!
So nostalgic it's beautiful
It's almost a annual tradition. The Lakers beating the Blazers including sweeping them in 2001 and 2002.
Both teams were stacked. Poor Pippen, playing against former team mates.
I forgot how loaded the Trailblazers were that year.
That Portland team was THE most talented team ever assembled in any sport, in my opinion. Just too many volatile personalities.
2017 Warriors
Bonzi Wells was a straight up competitor!! Where is he now?
A young Westbrook harassed aging Kobe, the way the young kobe harassed aging Pippen ...life is a circle
Did you see that kobe and1 on westbrook?
Sabones Wallace and Pippen.
NBA used to be men's league.
That was a great series!!!
Good old fashioned competitive and firery NBA basketball. I forgot just how Deep Portland was. They could certainly win a championship in today's NBA.
3:45 that has to be a travel...
They rob the hell out Portland this series. That's no lie.
Horace Grant was in La Lakers at the 2000.The professional world is so entangled, yesterday's teammates are the opponents.
Today's team-mate will be tomorrow's opponent.
Only a lot of talented people survive in the professional world.
Horace played with Shaq in Orlando last...
Last time these teams in the playoffs was 1991 in the Western Conference Finals!!!
1992 first round
What the hell was detlef doing with horry😄
I loved the Davis elbow on Horry.
Que equipazo traía portland, el último juego de esa serie todavía no entiendo como lo perdió
How good was kobe at young age putting a Mt Pippen into deepest frustration. Underrated
Pippen was past his prime tho
Was this the playoffs were Steve Smith schooled Kobe in the post?
@@romeog5579 yeah after 1998 Pippen was past his prime
@@romeog5579 pippen was past his prime and kobe wasn't even in his prime so...🤷♂️
@@Q.B.2.L.B. You must be high Athletically Kobe was in his prime and Shaq was on his side most dominate center ever!
Kobe literally faked that injury...pip barely even touched him....lol
Even the announcers said it was smart of him.
That Portland should of won the series but they lacked maturity and probably could of won with a better disciplined coach in my opinion.
Portland Trailblazer's aka portland jailblazers
Notice how none of the blazers try anything with Shaq
Hold up. Did Danny “Crybaby” Ainge just say quit whining?? 🤦🏽♂️
That Portland team was LOADED
Portland was robbed!
@4:02 shaq being funny 🤣🤣 he could have followed up and dunk it in.
This series was rigged of course blazers should of won but i miss these days great rivalry.
The Portland all forwards team. No way they could contain Shaq
they use to do hack a Shaq and the big dumb ox would miss every free throw and cry about it but the refs kept helping the Lakers out....most rigged series of all time
Danny Ainge says stop whining. All he did was cry. He elbowed him in his sore ribs. Dirty play. Hypocrite Pippen didn't like when Rodman shoved him out of bounds.
Blazers tired of getting beat by Lakers in the playoffs.
I nver thought detlef. Davis went to blaizers and h.grant to lakers
I thought pepen in bulls
