I know many people talk about Kobe and Pau’s performances through the 2010 Playoffs but Ron Artest was an amazing depth piece during their run as well.

[@sammysabo6777]

Kobe had arguably his worst performance in the finals of the 5 he won in 2010, Pau deserved finals MVP and without Ron obviously don’t even make the finals. I mean 6/24 in game 7? And you don’t hit the game winner it’s tough look

[@daschwah]

One of the reasons why this one was such a gut-ripper was because of how special that Suns team is. Basically a “begged, borrowed and busted” roster of young misfits and stars on the decline (including STAT) who came together to things that felt impossible against vastly superior teams. The loss didn’t just end that run, it led to yet another PHX Little Dark Age. Ironic, being that we’re probably on the cusp of another one.

[@Lloyd00]

and then he buried a 3 to ice game 7 in the finals against the Celtics... Ron is forever loved in LA! Had the pleasure of meeting him, very cool guy!

[@atypewriter]

Sounds like Artest always played hard and with intense passion which paid off immensely in this moment. He's the only player that's actively going for the ball while everyone else assumes that a miss will just lead to OT. His defender is much more lackadaisical in corralling the rebound which is why he gets boxed out

[@LorxusIsAFox]

It seems like he's the one guy who was actually thinking out there. Everyone else made the same set of assumptions probably most of us did watching this video.

[@ghostflame9211]

it's funny how you mention artest's history with the lakers. i fondly remember him showing his heart and defensive prowess in the finals, and even before that i personally was excited to hear in the 09 offseason that he was on the lakers. now he would be using that defense to help kobe and pau instead of making life difficult for them. but youre right, after the malice in the palace, he never really shed his "bad guy" persona, and even when he came to the lakers, he was treated as an odd man out by many fans. i distinctly remember friends in high school saying "he will never be trevor ariza." but damn, did he redeem himself. showed us exactly how good his defense was during every round of the playoffs, picked up the slack when kobe and others werent shooting so well in game 7 vs boston (including the dagger 3 that everyone remembers), and perhaps most importantly, made this miracle buzzer beater . history couldve remembered him totally different had he not scored here.

[@cashmoney4344]

Thank you for uploading this moment. As a Laker fan, this moment was so critical on the way to the 2010 title. It swung the momentum in our favour. Artest being clutch in this game, and the shot he hit in game 7 vs Boston will always be remembered

[@sammysabo6777]

Arrest saved the season twice along with Pau in round 1 hitting the series winner. This team did not have a bus driver just a bunch of gritty tough bus riders doing it as a team. I still believe Pau should have won finals MVP

Ron Artest was special in 2010. I missed that Lakers roster too!

[@Riles3152]

2010 was the last year of Kobe's prime. After winning the title last year and proving he could lead the Lakers to a title w/out Shaq, he could have had every reason to be satisfied, but he came back into the next season hungry for another one. As far as Ron, for those who watched that entire season and playoff up till this game, he had kind of an up and down year in LA. I honestly thought Trever Ariza from the previous year's title team was a slightly better fit, but when in the most important games of that playoff run (this game, game 6 against PHX, and game 7 against Celtics) Ron showed up! So glad to see him get a title after all he went through (And put himself through).
