cant believe ime udoka was a trailblazer

Wasn't there a quote Drexler said that we are not coming back to Detroit ?

Johnny Davis was pivotal in replacing Dave "Alphabet" at guard, Davis was much quicker.

RIP Bill Walton.

This Portland team was extraordinary: Damon Stoudamire, Steve Smith, Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Sabonis!!! And, on the bench, Schrempf, Brian Grant, Bonzi Wells, Greg Anthony, Stacey Augmon, I'm probably forgetting some ones... The real 2000 champions 😎

Maaaan I remember watching this at 9 years old. Blazers got off to a hot start but unfortunately Shaq and Kobe just too much

2000 WCF the series that opened my eyes to the indisputable fact that the league selects its winners and losers.

They rob Portland that yr if pippen had won you would never heard of Kobe Bryant but yet. It was a Kobe Bryant have the tourch

How incredible of a player was Terry Porter? He was the original Chauncey Billups. Incredibly efficient Point Guard who could shoot from anywhere but didn't have the explosiveness or athletic ability to finish consistently at the rim. Instead, he relied on that smooth jumper, chambe of pace dribble and punp fake to get to the line. He always played at the pace he wanted and couldn't be sped up. Always kept the ball moving, excellent at the enrty pass and wa someone who knew how to keep his teammates cutting and screening by rewarding them with the ball.. Defensively he wasn't special but he played hard and made smart rotations even in a league with strictly man to man defense. He would excel in today's NBA although hed need to improve his quickness but that three ball would be devastating. Since Chauncey is retired his comp is a taller Fred VanVleet with a much better mid range shot.

Portland should have won this series Pippen was toasting Kobe and the Lakers

O' Brien was a fine commissioner. I mention it because so many people think David Stern was so great. I just didn't see it like some others did. O'Brien took case of business and didn't seem to care about public perception or being a "star."

Mighty mouse Stoudemire, wallace,pip this was my team.

Pippin way better than overated Kobe Bryant Pippin definitely top 5 all time

maybe if he would have played some defense rather than cherrypicking the entire game the blazers might have won the game

What a graceful player

They cut off the best two sequences of this contest, which Brent Musberger mentions in his final comments.

Scottie had too many knuckleheads around him, and he wasn't really the #1 Scorer type ever in his career, although he could do it when necessary and he almost always put up points..........in the final game against the Lakers later on, they needed a #1 scorer to step up, when everyone was choking.

5:09 Isaiah Thomas travels his butt off, doing the Ali Shuffle at the 3 point line 😂

Back when traveling wasn't simply ignored.

The 3-Point line was a mistake.

Quolity of these plays are amazing, best SF or PF i've seen

Roy should’ve started over Iverson or Melo. Just popularity contest.

And then the refs started to help the lakers

One of the great passing teams ever, Portland.

I thought this thing was over when Philadelphia won the first 2 games....

Top5 shooting guard of all time.

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. As one who has an inferiority complex to Boston, the Lakers and Chicago, I wonder how the REST of the country felt, that for 3 years, of ALL teams, Portland and Seattle were going to the Finals!

Maurice Lucas is one of the all time underrated players in NBA history. He was fantastic.

Clyde the Glide's Christmas debut

This is the most impactful 22 point game I have ever seen. He was literally doing everything.

Concerteza, dava orgulho de ver os Blazers jogar

I remember having this game on VHS .... I tried my damnedest to tape every single Clyde Drexler game I'm fans

Scottie Pippen will forever be a great player and he played with the best player in the world named Michael Jordan and they just won six championships for the Bulls and where the best tag team in the NBA. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

Should’ve been her a bunch more times

Injuries robbed us😢

Hate the 2000 Lakers

Pippen was a beast

pippen to kobe dont reach young blood haha

Blazers were the best team that year! Good series, I think it was rigged

Pippen can do everything. He invented the "Point Forward".

the 79 sonics were more elite than the 77 blazers despite the coaching of lenny wilkens not equaling the playing of star bill walton

gary payton wasn't as elite as star clyde drexler but the 96 sonics were more elite than the 92 blazers and for multiple reasons played the bulls better in the finals

Clyde the glide

Portland had an unreal team in the year 2000😱

Nice game from Drazen too, but then didn't play much anymore

The Blazers had a Stacked team that year in 99-2000 but no way to stop Shaq and Kobe and The Lakers

Pippen to me was better than his Portland teammates. He carried the team in the finals and was very unselfish. His IQ of knowing what his teammates could and couldn’t do was in his mind and he stepped up. Steve Smith would be second to him in Portland. Funny how Damon was trying to be Scottie’s Robin and Scottie utilized Shrempfs talent with unbelievable passes

And then they got swept at home

Russell missing both free throws, reminding me of Karl Malone in the 97 Finals

maybe scottie pippen was right and he is not crazy as we thnink. to be number 1 in the west and lead a portland tral blazers to a game 7 against the 3peat lakers. is a hell of a achievement.
