Not a problem......TD had 33 & 14 in this game.

Problem with that laker team was that Shaq had zero respect for rambis and never let rambis coach that team... not that rambis was any kind of spectacular coach but if your players don’t listen to you how can you accomplish anything

That team had no business being swept. I will say that was before the hand check rule which had a lot to do with the laker success the next few years

God that 99 team would run train on this team now.

Agreed guys like Dfish and Rick Fox were great at hand checking.

Thanks for telling us something that we didn't know. That's like saying 2+2 is 4.

Approximately 30:40 Shaq trying to run over Malik boxing him out and getting free throws for it. NBA was such bull back then. Bavetta. That was the first minute I watched too, tbh.

It used to drive me crazy seeing Shaq bulldozing people and getting away with it.

THANK YOU! ABSOLUTELY! What the NBA allowed Shaq to do in order to promote his s om and the Lakers' success completely sabotaged the rules and the officials, laying the groundwork for the subjective application of rules in today's league.

I remember when they decided Shaq was allowed to shoot his free throws from 13 feet away instead.

That 2000-01 tile was the only legit one they got out of that 3-peat.

Even then, I think the Pacers were the better team, tbh.

I can't argue with that. That Pacers team was better than people remember.
