Laker Fans: Your Most Exhilarating Laker Win of All-Time

[Koolaid_Man]

Those WCF were battles back in the day...tbh, over our 7 WCF trips in the last 10-11 years, the Spurs have far and away been the easiest opponent.

2000 Blazers, 4-3
2001 Spurs, 4-0
2002 Kings, 4-3
2004 Timberwolves, 4-2
2008 Spurs, 4-1
2009 Nuggets, 4-2
2010 Suns, 4-2

^ I love it when brilliance manifests itself...

Except for Koolaid.....


Everybody is a post 1999 Laker fan
ing bandwagonners........

Nope.

1. 2000-2001 vs. Blazers ... I was there Blazers melted inthe 4th ...a dynasty was born. And we snuffed out a potential Blazers one before it get started.

2. The Magic at center vs. philly 1980 I was so young I did not even understand ball. But Magic planted the seeds for this die-hard. after that i listened to the games on KLAC and went to my uncle's house to catch "prime Ticket" before we finally ponied up for cable.

3. Game 4 2000-2001 vs. pacers Kobe saved us when shaq fould out
Kobe said "I got this calm the down ...and we believed"

4. The baby hook game in the 87 Finals :
Magic over Parish and Mchale and it took until 2008 for those green loving bas s to sniff a le ...

5. 2003 WCF vs. Kings ...
Vlade: "it was a lucky shot"
Horry: Lucky?! They better read a paper or something ..."

Honorable mention:

1. Game 3 of last year's Finals ...
Beating the Celts in 7 games was great but winning Game 3 was the best of the bunch. Kobe, Fisher coming up clutch once again.

2. Outlasting isiah's 3rd quarter assualt to win Game 6 in the 1988 Finals

3. 0.4 enough said ...

4. Kobe's dagger vs. the suns we had a better suns team on the ropes ...we started Luke, Smush and Kwame and Sasha played a key role though we came up empty ...that was sick.

5. Breaking the curse in 1985 great series but Game 2 was my favorite...Kareem bounced back after a horrible game 1 (The memorial day massacre)

2000 Game 7 vs. Blazers was epic…Phil Jackson was the Zen Man…The way he kept the team up, encouraging them to just hack away at the lead while he diagramed plays…Phil had been there before & knew the Lakers could win…No one gave the Lakers a chance against that stacked Blazers team…My entire neighborhood was cheering with every Lakers basket…

Got to put the Adelman Kings up there too…Sacramento would have won at least two NBA Championships if they had squeaked by the Lakers…Vlades tap-out to Horry was just incredible…

[Killakobe81]

you set em up and I'll knock em down:

I was there too. i can remember the anxiety at the end of the third ...

after the Kobe/shaq lob A white dude sitting next to me hugged me and we didnt know each other! I had went with a buddy of mine and his wife and we could not get 3 seats together ...best game experience all time.

It's a known fact (it's the internet! yarr!) that most Laker fans are Bulls fans, and before that Laker fans. Proof is that the old Bulls got fans first appeared out of nowhere, but when Lakers threepeated the Lakers got population increased tenfold after it...

There is no other explanation for it. gots just don't dissapear. They migrate.

I was not a fan of MJ, Scottie or Phil before he came here ...I rooted with Riles and the Knicks in the 90's ... Riles was ablood brother I had no choice.

But I NEVER stopped riding with my squad ...

Watched Nick the quick, Ced Ceballos, Sedale threat, Dough Christie Sam Perkins, Vlade and elden campbell years ...

Listen up numnuts my dislike for MJ runs deep...and it's not over basketball...I bought 1 pair of ing MJ's my entire life even though I could afford a million pair...the black and white patent leather MJ's...that was it...because I was so ing fly with them on...

MJ is a sell-out uncle tom if I've ever seen one....didn't care that people were getting jacked and killed over his shoes...he's no ambassador...he's just like Tiger...both them s should have met with Jim Brown maybe then they wouldn't have played their careers on their knees so to speak...

You peep her out and I'll close the deal:

I'm sorry for all this tlong..

Sir,

Can you also find the Kobe shot over the Kobe Stopper that tied that game up in regulation?

thanks much.

Sorry Tlong.

[cesare borgia]

Kobe 45 points over the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in 2001.

[Killakobe81]

how about the putback against the spurs at the alamodome in the playoffs in (2001?)

What about the dunks or highlights vs. Sacto by kobe in 2001 as well?

you talking about this ..I think I posted this already...if this not it let me know...

[John Basedow]

tbh that 2001 WCF was a snoozer. Never in the history of the game has a playoff series been so lopsided.

You are to young to even have a say here, kiddo. Stop pretending to be black, but if you still at it, post some Tupac videos, some X quotes here and there, and some more stereotypical bull , someone may still buy it.

Nick the Quick's game winner in the 95 conference semis against the Spurs. Kobe to Shaq lob close number 2. Nicky's shot for the nostalgia though.

The Sunday afternoon breakthru in Boston, June 9th 1985. After the catastrophic events of a year earlier, Magic Johnson had commenced a 100-game grailed quest that ended in Massachusetts that day. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon in Cleveland. I had cried harder a year earlier in '84. There were no tears left at victory, just an abiding deep hatred for the Celtics.

Rambis going right to left across the parquet, McHale draped across him mid 4th quarter and Earl Strom whistling McHale for his 6th foul. It was the end.

To watch Stockton & Heinsohn & CBS have to stand there and take it was near surreal. They were ashen faced, absolutely incensed.

[ElNono]

I bought 1 pair of ing MJ's my entire life

With what money, welcher?

I love my Luva, but, Kool has been hitting on all cylinders the last month or so. This thread, during this reign of Kool, is his finest hour.

You done good, Kool.

Great thread big hommie. For me? Watching Kobe rang in 2010:

• 5 rings distinguishes him from Shaq and TD - two bonafide HOFers
• He rang against Boston - the most hated franchise in Laker history - who featured 3 HOFers
• He won back to back without a HOF* teammate

*Subject to change - Pau will get strong consideration if we rang again - and he is a major reason why.

I went to the game in 2000 Game 7 vs Blazers where we came back from down 15 in 4th quarter to go to Finals. I will never forget that game,and it's climax when Kobe threw that alley-oop to Shaq. Never in my life have I been in a arena so loud,literally everyone was jumping and going crazy. Even the celebs courtside were going crazy,just out of this world.

I was at that game too. I think it was was the loudest arena that I have been in, except maybe Spurs vs Pistons Game 7 and Spurs vs Nets Game 6.

And it was what Kobe actually predicted. Maybe not in so many words, but, his intent was plain & evident. I couldn't bare to look sometimes as he intimated these demands, these predictions. I just thought he was pissin' up a rope, that they'd never come to fruition, not so much for me, and "us", but, more importantly for him. I felt the agony thru him.

They were unbearable times. Such collosal failures with Phoenix. Like Magic though, Bryant never broke. He never lost faith in himself and his goals.

{{{5 rings distinguishes him from Shaq and TD - two bonafide HOFers}}}

^That, that is his finest achievement.
