The best highlights from game 7 of the 2009 Western Conference Semifinals between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers.
I have been a Rockets fan for all my life. This video really inspires me to play soccer.
Yall took the Lakers to 7 games without T-Mac and Yao
@@bulletproof4440 and lost without them also 🤣
@@_ThatOneServant Kobe died.
@@LALakers4life34 and?
You knew it was scripted
Man i miss my lakers from 2007-2011
Landon chong totally agree
kemal pasha their n the history books
that is so true man
TheTakavor stfu everybody is a bandwagon in that case
Well the Lakers are back
The 08-09 ariza is what the houston rockets need on that game 7 against gsw
Raynielle June Puno your right I was like who ever thought ariza would.go to the rockets
This was 10 yrs ago. Father time remains undefeated
waht they needed was a healthy tmac and yao they would of easily handled this lakers team
@@markdelgado7130bron, curry, and KD doing there best to beat father time
As a Laker fan, Luis Scola is savagely underrated.
He sucked for the pacers though
Gotta respect Kobe. If Battier tried to throw his hand in there against Harden or Paul they would be flopping on the ground like a fish looking for the foul, every time.
Your comment is One year ago and they are still doing it. Hahaha.
@@hiphophoops4603 and will keep doing it
@@euwonder6170 hahaha! I hope it will become effective next season. 😂😂😂
Main reason I don't respect Harden's game cuz he's always lookin' for a bail out!!!
Obama ain't in office Harden!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not to mention lebron
How is this team NOT in classic teams for 2k
The west was and still is beast , 53-29 and in 5th ?!
The west been the powerhouse conference for like 2 decades now. Probably even more
That's what Kobe went through.. imagine if LeBron was in the west lmfao
Pao Zialcita I been saying this! Imagine if Kobe and lebron teams were flip flopped East and west. Kobe would’ve been in the finals so many times.
yeah since Kobe came in the league and mj left the west had them shooters LBJ made it to the finals so many times but couldn't beat the 1 team from the west and lbj is a beast but i take prime kobe over LBJ in his prime
@@craigmackssj3680what a casual
What a very good supporting cast without Yao&TMac.
Ron Artest was Houston's 3rd option and also Shane Battier's defense was also a threat for the Lakers.
Luis Scola, young Kyle Lowry, Aaron Brooks who averaged 19 ppg the next season. Very good team
A healthy Yao and Tmac Rockets win 🏆 no doubt about that Kobe would of have only four rings instead of five
Its sucks because this should have been the start of Tmac and Yao's prime. Instead it was the end of their careers.
@@dash4800 I mean tmac prime was in Orlando
@@Renz0K he went to Houston at 25 though. His prime should have been there. Generally guys peak in their late 20s as skill and experience overlap their athleticism. Kobe was the same age and those same years for him were the post shaq years where he was ungodly. We never got to see that from tmac
Rockets were so banged up. Was hard to watch, felt bad to Yao who was playing with and injury and playing with out tmac. And he goes down and they still push to 7 as artist becomes there best player but they were just out gunned at the end.
11:05 Rockets Looking ahead
Free Agents
Von Wafer
Ron Artest
Dikembe Mutombo
Acquired Kyle Lowry & Brian Cook for Rafer Alston
I enjoyed this series when actually watching it in real time. Went down to the wire and Kobe had some very good games against a stout defensive team like the #Rockets. Mcgrady was hurt that year and their team still had decent players to help them win and b affective, but KOBe's defining presence and will tu win along with the rest of the laKers, came through to win in the end
Givenchy Spilla if only Tracy McGrady was healthy and played it would make things interesting dont think they will win but would of been fun to watch
you also forgot about yao going down
Rockets took the lakers to 7 without Yao or tmac 😳
Joe RK that Houston team was deep as fuckk scola Landry brooks mutombo battier artest Lowry
Rockets would have found another way to lose regardless.
Rockets were out coached
@@dougfresh4454 All the players that you mention are nobody compare to LA bruh
Not to mention they won like 18 games in a row or some crazy shit that year.
Who woulda thought Artest (then) would be the difference-maker on the Lakers' run to the title the very next year?
"Mr.Bryant doesn't even see the hands of battier all he sees is the net they have wonderful relationship" --Mark Jackson
Missing this kind of basketball!
Luis Scola looked like Sasha Vijacic’s big brother 😂
The very reason why the Lakers sweeping the Rockets in the regular season 4-0 means absolutely nothing and meaningless in the playoffs. The Rockets took the Lakers all the way to the brink of elimination without Yao Ming & T-Mac, while Kobe & Gasol had to display the strongest games to survive in this 7-game series.
I miss 2009-10 Lakers
To this day, I still don't know how Kobe is able to make shots easily with a hand in his face like that.
Stacie Passmore lol he choked this whole game.
@@judahmourneth3211 how can you choke being up 20 almost the whole game ?
GoodFella Recordings no Yao no McGrady and it went 7 the rockets were trash to begin with. And gasol went 10/19 18 rebs 21 points him and Bynum lit shut the paint down. Kobe went 4/12 14 points. Once again his team put in work.
@@judahmourneth3211 theyre the same team that won a record 22 straight games in that regular season and were 5th seed in the west ...they weren't that trash...one of top defensive teams that season. The goal was to advance to the next round and Kobe did just that , no choke.
GoodFella Recordings yes they won, but as always kobe individually play in an elimination games was trash as always.
These were true final series that year.
hanyi zhang on another level, rip
Nah man that nuggets series was tough too
Yooo 7:25... Mark Jackson commentary is always legendary
My man MBENGA the goat
mbenga > scalabrine. the real goat
Bynum is a few center can make post moves that no center nowaday can.
I remember when my Pacers got him when he was almost out of the league and he played better than our all-star at the time Roy Hibbert.
That is because Yao king is injured
Yao can dominate over him easily
Bynum was ballin'!!!
Footwork, go go over right & left shoulder, could defend, athletic for size, could leap, strong,......
@@qwammienewsome1357 ... Them knees, though...
the greatest of all time
Tracy McGrady apologists always point to him having weak supporting casts, yet the 2009 Rockets completely debunked that as they took the Champions to 7 games without TMac AND with Yao missing more than half the series as well.
If you replace TMac on the 2005-2008 Rockets with Wade or Kobe they easily compete for a title and definitely make it past the 1st Round without question
TMac’s Magic were actually a poor supporting cast, but so was the East as a whole. Jason Kidd had a lesser supporting cast on the Nets yet took them to consecutive Finals while TMac as a starter never even lost to an eventual NBA Finalist while always being knocked out in the 1st Round.
Nobody Touches Jordan facts!!
Nobody Touches Jordan he lost to the pistons the year they won it
The Champ
The 2003 Pistons got swept in the ECF by the Nets. They did not have Rasheed or Larry Brown that year. TMac missed the Playoffs in 2004 when the Pistons won it all.
That has to be the most insecure account name ever.
nah kidd had better players on the nets with K mart, RJ, Keith Van horn. T mac best players was mike miller, drew gooden and darrell armstrong. Bucks, Hornets, and Pistons was more talented then the magic but i think the magic should have beaten the pistons still. Especially with a 3-1 lead but everybody have their playoffs downfall.
When you realize Kobe dominated against two of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Battier played perfect defense the entire series and still got cooked.
Andre macklin got cooked??? He shut kobe down this game.
14/7/5 4/12 33% 1/4 3pts 25%
@@judahmourneth3211 ok now Google his stats for the series dork
Andre macklin why should I. The elimination game is what define moments. And Kobe historically is bad in elimination games.
@@judahmourneth3211 history will show he got 5 rings by being bad in game 7s tho dork
Andre macklin team accomplishments
Trevor Ariza is a professional role player.
I wonder how differently this series would have been in Yao never got injured...
And t-mac
Very different series with McGrady healthy this Rocket team presented real problems for the Lakers that year.
2009 should be the year of Houston....
TMac and Yao coulda redeem themselves
Bros, Bynum was solid and a significant force for us in that Back2Back ship run man!
Scola was awesome player
When the lakers were focused they destroyed everyone
It was a crippled Rockets team without their 2 best players, relax buddy
illmatic826 Healthy rockets wouldn’t have made a difference. Lakers relaxed after game 3 buddy when Yao went down. I watched game 4 closely. Bynum was also hurt, not even close to 100% & kobe was playing through a broken finger. Lakers were the better team, plain & simple
@@brandon_e24 Kobe shot his finger off
At 7:00 when Kobe blocks the shot you can hear him say “gimme that shit!!” 😂🐐
Vujajic dunk?! 😱
I love this game...
7:10 Ariza got me too, i was already watching Fisher in the corner
How the hell did this Rockets roster push Lakers to game 7?
Man those jumpshots sound amazing
The bench never helps in these games watch history on games of such till this day.
Till the end!
2019..here.. didn't notice that lowry played in Houston
ULTRA INSTINCT you must be really young or you are fairly new to the NBA
Nope..been a fan since 07.. but im only watching lakers ...back then I dont care who were their opponents back then..
He is 15yrs old that time
RIP Mamba
4:05 sudden change of ball color is confusing
Yao Ming always hurt
They scored 89 points and won by 20
No wonder stats are so inflated nowadays 🤣🤣🤣
And they were complaining about tacky fouls then too 💀
Back when nba was worth watching.
4:05 when u see a cat/dog 🤣🤣🤣
So this years conference finals is like 2009 all over again😁😁😁
Man, they actually took the lakers to 7.
Come on! How could this Rockets team reach the game 7 against Lakers
Rocket's had heart
Rockets were scrappy!!!
Best bench and chemistry in the league
Weird seven game series, there wasn't a single close game out of the 7. And the majority of them were basically over by halftime.
Basically every team that led after the 1st quarter won each game
We rock, we roll!!! LA POWER!!!
No Yao or tmac why does no one talk about this ????
T-Mac had Microfracture surgery in February 2009
And Yao got injured
Still took their ass to 7 games without T Mac and Yao. Yao was ballin that year. Nobody wants to talk about that.
I never understood why the Lakers didn't resign Ariza. They bullshitted with his contract. He ended up signing elsewhere for the exact years & money they signed Arrest for. No disrespect to Arrest but Ariza was a better defender. & he was younger. Oh what the hell we won a chip both years.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i love basketball but i love you cath 💕
Spain vs Argentina 💯
Well I guess I'll watch this since the NBA is postponed.
Batier did a great defensive play on Bryant during this serie
Kyle Lowry is PG of the Beach in Houston
but now he is Starter and Superstar of the Raptors
and the Champion.
Kobe R I P
If only TMAC and Yao were not injured during that time, the lakers could've lost it.
Still no
If the coach know lowry could have championship in decade later, they will keep him at starting five
Bynum just what if’s
3:09 what's in andrew bynum's head? It was like a neck lace though
Rocket's lineup could take lakers into game 7 lol
Whose watching in 2019???
How did the Rockets make this a 7 game series!
It’s still crazy that they took the Lakers 7 with no Tmac and Yao
Another heartbreaking loss for Rick Adelman.
11:05 Rockets Looking ahead
Free Agents
Von Wafer
Ron Artest

Those Days ahhh
RIP MAMBA
Ariza is now playing with Rockets. 😂
Kiel Lowry now playing for Rapters
Zixuan Huang No, from the suns
Good comment Reward-Subscribes wizards now
And ron artest joined the lakers after
I have been a fan of rockets win or loss

09 Rockets shoudve won it all
Yao Ming
T-Mac
Ron Artest
Shane Battier
Brent Barry
Luis Scola
Kyle Lowry
Dikembe Mutombo
Aaron Brooks
Rafer Alston
Chuck Haze
That’s not bat bev. That’s Aaron brooks lol
@@mufasamuwenga4261 lol my bad.. they really look identical to me.. but still Aaron brooks was a solid player
70-89 look at the defense 🤕
i think gasol is last remaining player in league from this game, as of now.
Lowry
Ariza
Trevor Ariza is the only player from the Lakers team that is still playing in the NBA and Kyle Lowry is the only player from the Rockets team that is still playing in the NBA.
Good offense beats good defense any day of the week.
What if Marc Gasol went to Lakers instead of Pau Gasol 🤔
Krypto Kugo well we traded marc for pau lol
Krypto Kugo Marc would have taken time to develop. Paul was in his prime while in the lakers
Same thing..Championships
Lenny Beason not really, Marc wasn’t that good at the time
0:46 WHAT SONG IS THAT?
Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones
Do you have Lebron's highlights from game 6 in 2008 vs celtics?
bijeli tic FOH we talking bout Champions
Just because it went to 7 games doesn't mean it was a close series, as evidenced by how easily the Lakers won game 7. Τhey would have won in 5 if they weren't fucking around.
I believe youre looking for ED@ RED ROBIN. just my preference though.
Kobe 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😞😞😞😞
3:07 what on bynum head?
Imagine if Bynum knees didn't go out on him
Kobeeeee
Ron artest if you can't beat em join em you should stay with rocktes we could done something in 09-10
They really had Bynum center......BYNUM HOLY SHIT
Full game?
Kobe during these years never got the respect from the officials he deserved. He'd legit get knocked on his ass 4, 5 times a game and would get hit on his arm as he shot jumpers another 4 times a game and he'd have like 6 free throws. The fuck. I remember him doing an interview where he talked about in practice he'd literally have a coach hit him on his arm as he shot and practice making them like that because he seldom got the calls.
Taking horrible shots
Bynum… crazy how good he could have been if he gave a shit
Todo esta bien
RIP Kobe Bryant and his daughter gi gi
if only Yao was there, the series would have finished in 5 game with Houston taking title that year.
@Beans didn't you remember he got hurt in q4 in game one which they won? He came back playing with injury and was not 100% the next 2 games. He just wanted to give everything he had but eventually had to quit. Had he been healthy, it would have been different.
J K I hear u but the Lakers had to adjust to a more small ball approach by HOU. It was a much different look than expected when Yao unexpectedly announced he was out for the season. Despite not 100%, he was still a factor & fairly effective, just less so. Lakers played & shot poorly in game 1. I don’t believe a healthy Yao would have made a difference in the outcome of games 2 & 3. The Lakers & Kobe simply played too well in those games. After all, they were the better team. The Lakers visibly relaxed in game 4 w/ the knowledge that Yao was done, I mean I would too. I watched that game 4 closely. To prove it, in their must win games (games 5 & 7) the Lakers absolutely dominated when they had to. Knowing this, it is likely the Lakers still win in 7 vs a healthy Yao. Now with a healthy tmac, then the Rockets might win in 6 or 7
@@brandon_e24 no one would really know things that never happened. It is all our preferences. NBA playoff games also have many ref./league factors in. I agree that without T mac, Laker had a bit edge over Rockets but you never know. Houston defense was suffocating and Artest did a good job on Kobe. Ref was not on his side though. A healthy Yao had more wins on Lakers than losses over all these years. With T mac, Yao, Artest and supporting cast, they were unstoppable that year. Anyway, those days NBA was much more fun than today's.
J K Bynum & kobe were both playing injured. Lakers were more unstoppable w/ those two guys healthy
You sound stupid
No Yao or tmac and still took lakers to 7 games, they would of won ring this year.
What is the BGM begin from 0:42 ?
Start me up
