Lakers toughest finals of that three peat. Indiana was no joke.

[@elroz1675]

Yeah, they took the 1998 Bulls to 7 in ECF, in Bird's 1st year as head coach.

[@thomaslewis247]

Reggie Miller was so great in this series but his team just couldn’t beat Shaq Kobe and the lakers

[@fuziquepuzique9343]

Jalen Rose also was great

[@chriswalls5831]

They were so close took Lakers 6 games and Jordans bulls 7

[@zerimar26]

I think if they beat the Knicks in 1999 season and played the Spurs, they would have won that series.

[@rodneymckinnon9075]

Shaq was the big factor cleaning up all their misses & scoring !

[@drewainge1059]

Jalen is a baller.

[@joachimbucherer5030]

Reggie for 3 ... ohhhhh baby ☺

[@jso19801980]

really wish reggie had won this series

[@KJ3113]

Pacers my Team, and Miller my player all time

[@KJ3113]

Also, the next game was Smits final game. Mark Jackson signed with raptors. And Dale Davis was traded for Jermaine Oneal. So, Pacers lost 3-5 starters

Unreal how dominant Shaq, and Kobe were . If they never had beef, they might have won 6, or 7 rings together, instead of just 3 in a row

[@EzMoney95]

Na Shaq got fat and was way out of his prime exactly why the Lakers had no problem letting him go

[@devangpatel5227]

nah if shaq wasn't fat they could have

Funny you make this comment on a video where they lose by 33. Lol

Jalen played very well

Pacers we’re the Utah Jazz of the eastern conference. Always got close but came up short 🎉

Without Shaq,Lakers couldn't win this series.

[@rodneymckinnon9075]

I was saying the same thing

[@lilbondeck100]

In an era were you literally needed at least a "superstar", I tip my hat off to Larry Legend and the Pacers for putting together a pretty good team

[@joshuabryant8504]

They had some solid shooters on the team. It wasn't just Reggie Miller Shrimp, and Perkins.

[@MrEOM41]

Yup a deep squad early 2000s Pacers were great

[@tremendoushustle9548]

Reggie Miller was a Superstar.

[@castrodeleonfilms]

I love Steph and Ray Allen but“Reggie miller was different”

[@censortube8662]

Unfortunately this was the pinnacle as a Pacers fan. We couldn't get past Jordan in the East until he retired and then we run into Kobe/Shaq when we finally got to the Finals. Was a fun ride though even with no ring.

[@KJ3113]

21 yrs ago! I just started as a CT DOC Officer. I just retired from there in Feb 2020. 20 yrs completed. Man, if i knew then, what i know now, my life would have turned about better. Much better

[@brianwilliams6167]

I think we can prolly all say that tbh

[@gerardoramirez115]

I know these are highlights and I don't want to fall into the fallacy of "back in my day...", but man modern day basketball almost seems sloppy compared to the grit and composure of this series

[@reneperezjr8383]

How so?

[@jareddavidmanifold313]

@@reneperezjr8383 because it's the only nba finals the pacers ever played in and the won to force game 6. I'm aware they've won some aba titles but still their backs were against the wall they played like champions.

[@BIGLARRY100]

@@jareddavidmanifold313 they got screwed game 6 Rose tied it & Davis got the rebound next Laker miss & they could've held 4 final shot. But they called a late foul on Davis w/ LA in the penalty of course & put Rice on the line to win it. Replay showed not only no foul but no contact whatsoever. Rice wasn't touched. Then next yr the Kings/Laker game happened. LA may of won in OT if Indy missed & if not prob win gm 7 but dark times when the league was crooked af. Stern was really pushing tht Laker team tryin 2 get fans lost w/ Mike, Magic, & Bird. Tht LA team could've been more legendary w/o the drama & insanely friendly whistles.

[@jareddavidmanifold313]

@@BIGLARRY100 Indiana was the 2nd best team that fakers team faced from 00-04. My Pistons shocked the basketball world in 2004!! Then we got hosed in 2005 against Tim Duncan's spurs. If that series was replayed the following week the pistons woulda swept em. It was a huge uphill battle after going all 7 against Miami in the 05 ecfs and then getting beat up in the 1st 2 games of the finals against San Antonio. The spurs weren't chopped liver by any stretch I just always felt that team was better than the spurs. The 1 that got away just like in 88' when the pistons went the distance against showtime. Now that pistons team really got hosed!!! The phantom foul on laimbeer against Kareem. Worst call down the stretch of a finals game I've ever witnessed. It's reminiscent of the foul the refs called on Rasheed Wallace against Shaq in the last minute of overtime in game 2 2004 nba finals. The pistons shoulda swept the fakers. That team knew all they needed was 87 to 90 points to win games. That defense was tenacious!! Probly the best ever in league history. Statistically absolutely but the badboys really knew how to clamp down on better teams than the goin to work pistons faced. Jordan Bird Magic. What an era of nba basketball.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

The Lakers got completely demolished on the scoreboard and Shaq STILL scored 35

Sickest crowd in sports not even Manning's Colts games had the juice a Pacer playoff game did. Especially in old, sticky ass floor MSG. Colts were great but it's basketball.

Best Game of these finals.

I wonder if this game was a case of the Lakers blowing their load in Game 4 and coming out flat the following game. Props to the Pacers for not letting the devastation of Game 4 devastate them.

[@brianmao5296]

Jalen Rose balled out this game. Kobe never forgave him for it - though it took Kobe 6 years to fully get his revenge.

2:10 Reggie miller

[@turtleislandlac1490]

If Kobe's such a "great" defender, why isn't he guarding the Pacers' best player Reggie?

[@blackboyfromaz]

sprained ankle in game 2 him chasing around reggie would not be a good idea

[@elevatorelliot714]

Because Kobe struggled defensively in those playoffs. It wasn't that he got hurt, even though that didn't help, it was because he was young. He was a great defender that year but come playoff time he had a lot to learn. Veteran players gave him trouble and coaches told there teams to make Kobe work more defensively. Against Portland Steve Smith was on fire the whole series and gave him fits, and so did Jalen Rose in the finals.

[@KBFilmRoom]

Bro he locked up Reggie before injury held him to 7 points

[@turtleislandlac1490]

@@KBFilmRoom Kobe didn't guard Reggie. Phil put Kobe on the point guards.

[@865style]

In these finals shaq averaged more ppg than the 2nd, 3rd, 4th leading scorers on this lakers team combined. Shaq= 38.0 ppg Kobe, Rice, Harper= 37.9 ppg Thats crazy 😂😂 If shaq would of just shot 65% from the free throw line he would have averaged 42.6 ppg. That would of been an all time record beating Jordan's 41.0. But ifs dont matter.

[@LouTubeYNR]

Kobe couldn’t get lift or lateral movement after that ankle injury smh

[@rodneymckinnon9075]

He dunked on Smiths , not wrong with that Ankle !

I dont understand the Hate for Jalen Rose.

[@elevatorelliot714]

A lot of people hate him for pulling the Zaza move on Kobe in game 2. Also people just like to clown him for Kobe's 81 point game. Good player for sure though.

[@bahalakajohn]

If Klay "The Modern Day Reggie Miller" Thompson only played like this in the playoffs, they could've beaten the Lakers but I guess he's no Reggie Miller after all. 🤷🤷🤷

[@steventorres9311]

This was game 2 not 5!!! Smh

[@Motivationalwave3000]

No it’s game 5

[@derrickharris6932]

3:31 notice a theme yet? Kobe missing more than he makes and Shaq finals mvp every year Shaq won the finals with Kobe. Kobe 15 ppg in finals vs Philadelphia. Kobe the most overrated player EVER, MOST MISSED SHOTS EVER. 2 finals mvps out of 5 rings. That's why you don't hear his name with Jordan or even LeBron. Jordan is NUMBER ONE in ppg for regular season and playoffs, LeBron is top 5 in both. Kobe is 24th all time in ppg, while missing the most shots in NBA history. He was a poor imitation of Jordan and had the arrogance to say he was better. Numbers however don't lie. 6 finals mvps vs 2, 4 finals mvps vs 2. Boy hush💯

[@flashdamc]

This was early on in his career though, he still ended up with more rings than shaq and lebron and was the best player in those runs 2009 and 2010. With someone as dominant as shaq all they really needed to do was feed him the ball and nobody could guard him in the paint. Out of Kareems run with the lakers he only got 1 fmvp out of 5 chips but nobody discredits him bc his teammates were just that good, it's a team effort. Steph 1 fmvp out of 4 chips I barely hear people get on him for that either. You're probably an older fan, stop kissing jordans ass

[@rodneymckinnon9075]

That's true !!

[@Daniel_B79]

Shaq is a big dummy that can put the ball in no matter what. Doesn't make him a good player
