Kobe Takes Over In 2000 NBA Finals Game 4 |

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Crazy. I knew this was 2000 finals. I watched this finals and many more before. I kept thinking how this was a young Kobe still learning the game. At times he crowded the lane and kept calling for the ball instead of moving, although he did have a bad ankle. But then I started doing the math about the end of the 3rd and realized this was the kids 4th year!! Regardless of having things to learn he was absolutely clutch when they needed him. Let the game come to him even though he was visibly frustrated at times. Miss watching this type of greatness.

Watching this all over again truly gave me a different perspective on how truly amazing and confident Kobe Bryant was during this game and seemed laser-focused once Shaq fouled out in OT. 22 Years later I'm sitting here thinking WOW I didn't understand the weight of the situation that Kobe was under. The future superstar of the team separated himself this night, showing he wasn't just a 21-year-old kid playing Basketball in a grown man's world. I appreciate his performance, even more today than I did 22 years ago. I was 27 years old and an arrogant fan thinking OH yeah the Lakers got this in the Bag. Kobe and all the rest of the Lakers are gonna get the job done ✔️... This was a great preview of how great Shaq and Kobe could be when they played at their best... as well we got to see the Birth of the Laker's future Superstar and Hall of Famer... and how the Black Mamba was created once Kobe was the Leader of the L.A. Lakers 🏀 Franchise & Team. I LOVED watching this and reliving the emotions of it all, Especially now that Kobe is no longer with us anymore. 💔 RIP 🙏🏼 🪦 "Black Mamba" #24Forever #Lakersgreatest

But watching this game, I realized how exceptionnal Reggie miller's off ball game was. Everyone know exactly what he's gonna do and he still managed to get open.

This game was the defining moment that I knew… that Kobe Bryant was destined for legendary status. He single handedly carried a Shaq’less Lakers team to a much needed win. And the most amazing part is: HE HAD JUST SPRAINED HIS ANKLE DAYS BEFORE… like what the actual f*ck?!?! 🤷🏽‍♂️🤯🤯🤯 Kobe will always be MY GOAT. Idc what anyone says💜💛🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🐍🐍🐍🐍🐐🐐🐐🐐 #mambamentality #blackmamba #kobebeanbryant

Shaq averaged 38 points and 17 rebounds in that finals. Please stfu

[@laurentdessi2783]

Honnestly, Shaq is one the best basket ball player I have ever known, he's gigantic.

[@JudahwardIV562]

My Prayers and Love 🙏🏾 Rest in Love Kobe Bryant and Gia,,,

[@hanj31]

This is easily a top 5 performance in Kobe's NBA career. In no particular order, this one, 62 in 3 quarters, 81 points, game 7 of 2010 NBA finals and his last game. If we're talking moments you also have to put making the free throws with a torn Achilles there too.

First time heard of Rik Smits lol. Dude scored on prime Shaq one-on-one three times in a row.

[@edupbeat]

Smits was the truth! Just goes to show you how GREAT center play was in the 90’s/00’s..

[@wickedwood04]

The dunking dutchman!

[@jaonite]

He was nice! 90s era you had to be tough psychological and psychical

[@allanhouston6759]

7"4 Rik Smith ( age 33 ) vS Prime Shaq

[@scottb3034]

I mean smits was only like their best player in the 90s. Miller was just more clutch and more brazen so he got more headlines. He had a better series than miller vs the bulls in 1998 for instance but miller had that game winner in like game 6 so...

I miss Kobe, the only way I get to see him is when he's playing ball. He has such a gentle spirit. He's never selfish, always sharing in his game and Shaq the two of them play so well together. The Lakers are a great team, all of them pull together and Kobe the finisher and the go to guy. Every team need a go to guy, the Lakers are grateful they have Kobe. Thank you NBA for sharing. I only wished you guys appreciated Kobe more when he was playing instead of disliking him. Kobe is Kobe and nobody plays like Kobe, He train hard and it shows. So, you guys need to show more appreciation for Kobe. Thank you Lord for blessing Kobe and the Lakers to be the TEAM OF THE YEAR. I'm making them the TEAM AND KOBE THE PLAYER MVP. Now how do you like those apples? They taste real good don't they. Thank you God and thank you Kobe and the Lakers and last but least Mr. Phil.

what the heck is this person even talking about???

[@xaviervega468]

Kobe was gentle with his family. On the court there was nothing gentle about him.

[@mikerusso703]

@@xaviervega468 gentle?? He cheated on his wife and kids...

[@ko7577]

He beat up a teenager in a hotel room and mentioned Shaq's name to the police. This is the opposite of gentle.
