      I agree, holy crap the league looks NOTHING like this now. The level of physicality was nuts in the 80's, 90's, and early 2k's. I ttly forgot how athletic Shaq was in his prime and Iverson was an assasin. HOW did he not get hurt more often? RIP Kobe was off on this night but even Fox was ballin'. lol

    Dude I Remember this like it was Yesterday, this game was Dubbed an Instant Classic!!! The Hobbled Sixers went into L.A. to take on the Giant and completely Destroyed and Dismantled them. Eric Snows Defense was Amazing on Kobe all night! Also, the Sixers damn near won Game 2! They should have one that one. Lakers were Lucky that the Sixers were Banged Up! I would have Love to Run it back when the Sixers were Healthy! Anyway Larry Brown got em back when His Detroit Pistons totally Annihilated them!!!

      That’s all nonsense!! Shaq destroyed those bums and was always the best player on the court even in game 1. Lakers only lost game 1 was because like usual when Kobe had bad games it absolutely kills the team 7 for 22 15 points if he just stopped shooting bricks and passing it’s an easy 4-0 sweep. Shaq avg 33-16-5-3 in that series to big to strong

    Its nice to see players give maximum effort on both ends and not worry about their image. If you're playing tough defense and your man makes a great play you get him back, thats it. Nowadays players are too worried about teammates on the bench laughing at them or getting made fun of on social media. If you're giving your all and playing good D then you don't have anything to be ashamed of. I guarantee every player on this court would be more embarresed by taking a play off and letting the other team have an easy bucket.
