I'm so happy I got to witness this. I was around 13 - 15 years old at the time. I had moved to Sacramento from LA and had a friendly rivalry with other basketball fans at my Junior High. I don't think I ever screamed as loud and happily as I did watching Horry make that shot. It was gigantic. The dagger in that rivalry.
I agree with you they had those jerseys since the mid-90s to the early 2000s black and purple and they need to bring those jerseys back I don’t like when they changed their jerseys the very next season in the year 2003
Saw it live in a bar full of Serbian basketball fanatics who all rooted for the Kings because of Stojakovic. I was the only one wearing a Lakers t-shirt. When Horry received the ball up top I stood up and raised my arms. I just knew.
Horry's Buzzer Shot is probably the Best in NBA Playoffs History. Without Horry's shot, the Lakers were down 1-3 with 2 games on the road, and an elimination... Horry's shot was the Shot of the Title.
Kobe said after Horry's clutch shot vs the Blazers "He does this kind of shot, every year. He's consistant". That's why he knew, Horry would scored it.
Haha wow I've never noticed that. This screams expectation. He wouldn't do that with just anyone. It was ROBERT HORRY and he felt confident enough to raise his arms.
I watched this game live back in 2002. With the final shot by Robert Horry we all had our hands straight in the air and went crazy. What a moment. What a game!
They played as a team and not as individuals; the offense wasn't run through one player for the whole game. also, Bobby Jackson, Christie, and Peja were constantly moving around on offense, trying to get open, or Mike Bibby was running Pick and rolls or driving and kicking, and Webber and Vlade were passing out of the high post.
@@joesakic91 Why don't I go to Dubs highlights & drop random comments.."They bit the old Kings' style" or "They beat an injured Cavs team & then got Kevin Durant to form an unprecedented super team to win a few more"...?
With the dominance of the Lakers, people forget how many great teams there were in the Western conference. Lakers had to battle them all every year. It was no cake walk.
Despite the editing of this, the Lakers won and came back in that 2nd half with defense. After getting torched in the first half, they held that great Kings offense to just 34 points in the second half. Needed every single solitary stop too.
@@TheSands83 Lol no were not doing this. Game 6? fine. but game 4 and game 7, the Kings BLEW IT. plain and simple. The refs didn't make the kings blow a 24 point 1st half lead. The refs didn't officiate the Lakers into battling back, hitting timely shots and making timely stops when the game would have gotten away from them if they didn't. Nah the Lakers showed championship HEART and character getting back into THIS game, just like they showed heart and character going down to Sacramento and beating the kings fair and square on THERE home court to advance to the finals.
@The Throwback Thanks for sharing these games and remastering the videos. You do super job of improving the quality. Could you please share more games remastered? Could you share game 1 of this series? Kobe had many great dunks, that we would love to see in HD?
Man - I will never forget this game. One the greatest I ever witnessed. LA Lakers vs Sacramento Kings - it was a game I tell ya. I was on the floor crying because I thought Lakers were going to lose. But my dude Horry came through. ✨✨.
No matter what was said about the Kobe years of the Lakers ....... nothing will never surplant the Showtime years - priceless and timeless all day Magic Johnson A-1 Laker
Kobe Lakers teams never once played a losing record team in the playoffs, always faced winning teams. Magic started out as my favorite, but Kobe will always be my favorite player and Laker player.
9:01 the same play they drew in game 2 of the 2004 Finals, though Kobe went for the 3 instead of driving to the hoop. Both times, Adelman and Larry Brown thought about fouling Shaq when he touched the ball.
One of the best NBA moments I ever saw live. The other one's are Jordan's last shot in 98, the lakers game 7 4th quarter comeback vs Portland in 2000, and Tracy Mcgrady's 13 points in 35 seconds
The Kings were legit. They were more of a threat than the 2000 Blazers because THAT Lakers team was just learning how to win. This team came for the throne and damn near got it. No, it wasn't rigged...they just didn't make the plays they needed to in Game 7. But they gave us a run for our money. Horry FTW...literally.
2003 was even a better shot for Rick Adelman and the Greatest Show on Court era Sacramento Kings with a better and deeper team led by Gerald Wallace. Keon Clark, and Jim Jackson, but disaster struck when Chris Webber tore his lateral meniscus in his knee in the Game 2 of their Round 2 series against the Dallas Mavericks and the Kings downfall began from there.
However, the Splash Brother era Golden Star Warriors know how to win in the playoffs especially winner-take-all playoff games. The Dubs won three Game 7s in their heyday while Rick Adelman and the Greatest Show on Court era Sacramento Kings were 0-3 in Game 7s.
anyone who says the series was rigged needs to accept the fact Sacramento choked hard. Blame your players not the refs. Stojakovic missed a wide open 3 to go to the finals
The 2002 Kings roster was a perfect fit for what Adelman wanted to do offensively. I don't know if there's ever been a more perfectly constructed lineup. Now, if they just could've hit their free throws... there would have been no Lakers three-peat.
Red Auerbach's Boston Celtics, Red Holtzman's New York Knicks in the early and mid-1970s, Showtime L.A. Lakers of the 1980s, Phil Jackson's triangle offenses with MJ's Bulls and Shaq and Kobe's Lakers, and the Splash Brother era Golden State Warriors disagree.
Same with Chris Webber because once Kobe Bryant's penetration sucked Doug Christie into the paint, C-Webb should've stayed on Robert Horry at the three-point line.
Real 2002 champs - The Kings!! Still hurt to this day that they weren't crowned..as well as in 03 where they looked just as good before C-Webb went down.
Bullshit. Keep telling yourself that. U can’t rig blowing a 24 pt lead, not grabbing a rebound, shooting 52% from the FT line in game 7, & Peja’s airball. Queens also got away w/ hacking Shaq all game 5 w/o a whistle, along w/ Webber literally running into fisher to free up Bibby for the game 5 winner, the most blantant missed call on a moving pick ever. The bullshit went both ways, so the real champs came out on top like champs do. Keep crying tho lol
@@TheSands83 WOW you’re a special kind of stupid. He’s CLEARLY moving. CLEARLY. Apparently u don’t have eyes. That’s the video u show as an example of what not to do setting a screen
@@TheSands83 If u think game 5 was rigged for the Kings u should be disqualified from talking basketball ever again. Shaq was hacked numerous times by Vlade w/ no whistle in Gm 5. It was obvious. Shaq complained after & I would listen to the guy who’s actually playing
Lakers fans I hate to break it to you but actually that horry 3 should’ve tied at best the game because La had an extra point on the scoreboard from a 3 from samaki walker that should’ve never counted. That half time “buzzer Beater) that was in his hands still as clock expired. Lakers needed all the help they could get in LA vs Sacramento cuz Sac was on that ass. Every game

Robert Horrys 3 point shot game winner was probably the best game winner of all time
This was the King's chance to win 🏆. Up 3-1 Lakers weren't coming back.
And also 2003 with a better and deeper team until Chris Webber tore his lateral meniscus in his knee against the Dallas Mavericks.
That's just to bad huh?
To this day Kings fans still butt hurt about game 6, but they should be butt hurt for game 4 and game 7, their team choked!! 😅😅😅😅

And still lost
The Lakers were the goats of this NBA era. That's why they won 3 in a row.
The Lakers are also the last team to complete a three-peat in NBA history.
OMG MY TEARS STILL COME OUT WHEN WATCHING THE BEST PLAYOFF GAME EVER AND ONE OF THE BEST RIVALRIES IN NBA HISTORY
Robert came up big to get this important win. He was the man to win games in the closing seconds.

How good was Bibby. Very good
But Mike Bibby can't do it alone. Other players on the Kings were scared of shooting the ball in crunch time.

It's a 2 point Sacramento lead, we're down to 7 seconds.. Bryant putting the move on Christie, rebound O'Neal.. HORRY.. FOR THE WIN!!

I think not
Funny you include the Kings when they never eliminated the Lakers in the playoffs like the Spurs have.
