NBA Finals 2000. Lakers vs Pacers Game 3 Highlights. Shaq 33 pts, Miller 33 pts HD

Box score www.basketball-reference.com/...
Taking advantage of Kobe Bryant's ankle injury, Indiana restored a semblance of parity to the proceedings. Kobe's absence was felt as the Pacers had an 11-2 run in the first quarter to take an 8-point lead. Austin Croshere once again had another huge 2nd quarter, scoring 8 points as the Pacers shot 61% from the field. The Lakers tried to make a run to get back into the game, but upon doings so, Indiana answered with 12 straight points and led by 17. The Lakers were desperate and attempted another run to get within 3 points, but Reggie Miller nailed all his free throws at the end of the game to give Indiana a 9-point win.

The 2000 Finals was actually much better than what people give it credit for 🔥

[@allanhouston6759]

6"7 Reggie Miller ( SG ) is so underrated.

[@jayscribe7547]

He is a Hall of Famer

[@hypemaine9155]

Said no one ever 😂

[@adamdix9125]

Gonna tell my kid this was game 7

[@ernestboykin3rd706]

Lmao I'm weak bruh

[@elevatorelliot714]

Jalen Rose and Miller

[@jerodfarmer3515]

That crack me up when the announcer said shaq has 2 defenders that are powerless to stop him lol 1:59

[@serenitydom]

Shaq and Kobe might have been a duo in later years but in 2000 it was Shaq and a bunch of role players. Kobe averaged 16 ppg. This ring Kobe has is like Lebron goes to the Nuggets right now and plays 20 mins per game.

[@dirrckroberts5424]

Killer Miller

[@elevatorelliot714]

And Rose

[@user-pm9jp3ir2l]

Shaq 🌟

[@dirrckroberts5424]

I love Shaq too

[@YoungBlood507]

Finals mvp 3 years in a row beast mode

[@flashdamc]

This was a solid pacers squad led by an aging miller. It's just a shame they had no answer for shaq

[@LovingYouDaily]

Reggie at 4:43🤣🤣🤣 Great Pacer Moments!!!

[@sharkshady1876]

I like the moment at 7:07 more!! It reminds me of BOOM BABY lol

[@alfredooliva5175]

No Kobe?? When did MJ ever miss a playoff game?? RIP Kobe...

[@brandon_e23]

Lmao 🤡 did u even see the injury? It was a nasty sprain. MJ def would have sat w/ that kind of sprain, & he would have sat longer than Kobe. Kobe has the highest pain tolerance ever. Don’t fool yourself kid. Now quick, get off MJ’s 🥜

[@JoseDiaz-zq9wl]

It was because rose was a dirty player and undercut Kobe in the previous game.

[@cadds8055]

@@JoseDiaz-zq9wl kobe jumped and sprained it, jalen did nothing

[@williefowler6241]

Jalen admitted it was dirty and on purpose

[@Riles3152]

And came back in the most important game of the series and scored 28 including the most important points of the game in OT with Shaq fouled out, on an ankle that clearly still wasn't healthy. Not bad for a 21-year old in his very 1st NBA finals. It's like ya'll be literally scrambling to find stuff to try and discredit Kobe about 😂And then gon say RIP after lowkey downplaying his toughness compared to MJ SMH

[@mumenrider1844]

KOBE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

[@swayjacob7778]

He was injured

[@Facto_Sapien10]

He had a knee injury, if you wanna see Kobe go watch the other play offs with kings and blazers.

[@Motivationalwave3000]

J rose was so underrated

[@YR-cr9db]

KOBE is The 2nd Greatest Player to Ever Play in the NBA MJ is #1 But it is very Close!!!

[@ShadV24]

goes to show shaq didn't do it alone

[@TheSands83]

They won game 2 without Kobe.. Shaq was clearly the man on this team

[@ShadV24]

@@TheSands83 No one dismissed that he was the man. He just didn’t do it alone son

[@elevatorelliot714]

@@TheSands83 Shaq was the man but Ron Harper and Glen Rice helped with the scoring with Kobe out having 21 each

[@Riles3152]

@@TheSands83 They won most of ONE game w/out Kobe. He was injured in game 2! The only FULL game they played without Kobe was this game, which they lost. Shaq WAS the #1 player on this team...until it was closing or late 4th quarter time, in which Kobe was clearly the guy.

[@TheSands83]

@@Riles3152 is that not what I said? They won game 2 with out Kobe nitwit he played 8 fucking minutes 🤣 he had 2 points.. stop trying to act like he got hurt in the 4th or something 🤣 they played better with no Kobe n Kobe wasn’t the man in the 4th Shaq was he was still being tripled n doubled. Game 1 in the 4th Shaq had 12 pts 5 rebounds 2 assists on 6 of 9 Kobe was 0 for 1 two points..Kobe didn’t even play in the 4th in game 2 Shaw had 17 points on 6 of 6 , 6 rebounds, 1 assist.. game 3 Shaq had 7 points 6 rebounds 1 assists.. Kobe didn’t play the 4th.. so 3-0 Shaq…game 4 Shaq 14 points 4 rebounds 1 assist. Kobe 4 points 1 assist. 4-0 Shaq in 4th. Game 5 shaq had 6 points 2 rebounds 1 assist. Kobe 0 points rebound 2 assists. 5-0 Shaq.. Game 6 shaq 13 points 6 for 6 4 rebounds 1 assist .. Kobe 7 points on 1 for 7 shooting 🤣🤣🤣 3 rebounds 2 assists 6-0 Shaq .. Kobe definitely wasn’t the man in the 4th🤣🤣🤣 nice try dummy

[@lawrencesmith5661]

This is why Jalen hurt Kobe on purpose 🤔 RIP mamba if felt like if Kobe wasn't there they would win the series

[@YR-cr9db]

Shaq couldn’t win without KOBE is The Real EyeOpener KOBE Deserved two of those Final MVPS if not All 3!!!!!!

[@flashdamc]

that's cap, shaq was dominant and deserved all three

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

kobe played horrible in this series, only game 4 he played great

[@goatboy9980]

No Kobe ?

[@Leopotente]

he had an ankle injury, it happened in game 2

[@KMT15]

Omg Kobe would never miss a finals game for an ankle injury. Oh wait

[@MrXennon1]

Cringe...?

[@crambo765]

Travis best is the worst pacer ever. He killed the pacers holding the ball and dribbling doing nothing. I hate Travis best why in hell bird played him is beyond me

[@GTiger7019]

this was just a cup of coffee + bread with butter for the Pacers folks in G3
