Shaq actually made his free throws when he really needed to

[@kSwissh007]

legendary

[@usstockchannel]

Not really. This series yes but when he got swept by Chicago in Orland he made like 25% of them in that series. There is reason why it's sub 50%

[@davidmiles1020]

He really did. Shaq was more clutch than people give him credit for

[@Riles3152]

Everybody knows that the Lakers and the kings was the real NBA finals that year. After getting passed the kings, it really was like a breath of fresh air facing whatever the east had LOL

[@protectourfreedom8221]

Shaq and kobe...the most dominant duo in league history at their peaks. #1 center and #1 two guard playing together was unprecedented. How great it was to be a laker fan during these times. They would've beat jordan and pip.

[@marvinlanguido2983]

but hey have been swept by the jazz 😅

[@protectourfreedom8221]

@@marvinlanguido2983 because they couldn't defend the pick and roll. I think the 2000 Lakers would have beat the 1998 Bulls. But honestly, I'm glad it didn't happen because it would have tarnished Jordan's legacy as the 🐐.

What a difference from the first Championship between Kobe and Shaq. Just another day at the office. Heck that was a hard fought series... It just shows you have to have the love for the game for yourselves and your teammates, without it, even the greatest players of all time can get derailed...

Damn Lakers act like they lost this game 😂 no emotion at all

[@michaelcorleone3751]

Lor Dj if I could remember Shaq or rest of the team would always say, well take it one game at a time that was the mentality. Now the players of today all they do is dance when they hit 3. Or they celebrate when they get pass the first round. Funny mofos

[@TheMrKobeBryant2012]

They weren't surprised that they won. They knew once they got past the Kings, the championship was theirs again.

[@TheMrKobeBryant2012]

Kings should have won though

[@michaelterrell2108]

They knew they were going to win it all once they made it past the Kings. Also, the series isn't over until someone wins four games. That played a factor.

For all the conspiracy theories surrounding this time period in the NBA, I find it hard to believe that the NBA didn't want a Bucks vs. Lakers Finals, but it was perfectly fine to have a Nets vs. Lakers Finals. The 2000 Pacers team was undoubtedly the best team the Lakers faced in those 3 years, but I would argue the 2001 Bucks were the best potential Finals opponent the Lakers could have had in those 3 years.

I mean Shaq performed arguably even better against a great defensive center in Mutombo the previous year. Kobe himself would not approve of you guys making excuses and downplaying Shaq’s accomplishments.

Good thing Shaq carried Kobe to 3 straight titles, not! Kobe carried Shaq.

[@finger1151]

They both carried each other

[@865style]

So these are the numbers when you average up the 3 finals series in a row during the 3peat. Shaq averaged 35.7 points, 14.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.9 blocks per game during the finals in the 3peat. Kobe averaged 22.3 points, 6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game during the finals in the 3peat. So kobe carried shaq?? Lol shaq averaged almost 14 more points per game, 9 more rebounds a game, kobe averaged 1.5 more assist and shaq averaged almost triple the blocks kobe did. But kobe carried shaq lol. Facts dont lie.

[@Only2GendersCommonSense]

2000 finals Kobe = 15 ppg on 36% Shaq = 38 ppg Yep, Kobe was dominant. The greatest individual performance in NBA finals history.

[@theloverswineverytime1625]

Shaq carried that team in '00 and '01. Kobe was the best player in '02 Finals and should've gotten fmvp.

[@nunexmamba857]

Seems like they're not that happy to win a title coz they used on being a champion lols.

[@Theterminato2013]

Blame Chris Webber for being a career choker. He’s the PF version of Russell Westbrook, a guy who stuffs the stat sheet with no impact and doesn’t raise his level of play in the playoffs. If they had a clutch of and traded Webber for Duncan or KG, they easily beat the Lakers in 5 games.
