Daniel Sales Yet people frequently cite this as one of the best Finals and this game as one of the best games in recent history. Its so dumb, man. There's a difference between a good game and a close game.
The Gasol brothers, especially Pau, never get the credit they deserve for their fight and basketball IQ. Both have always been in the background of helping their own teams win. Big men like them deserve more appreciation.
I know Marc went to Memphis to bring his brother to LA but just imagine for a second that we had managed to keep a hold of him and we had those two down the middle, probably could have added at least another 1 ring to Kobe. Oh well, shoulda woulda coulda.
don't ever put pau and marc in the same sentence again... pau is 100x the player that marc is.. don't get me wrong, marc is a pretty good player and good passing for a big, but if we're talking skills, clutchness, scoring, rebounding, game IQ, pau is miles ahead if marc was on the 09-10 lakers, kobe would have 3 rings
This game is insane. Everything is thrown out of the window because every shot is so difficult and tightly guarded. I don't think I've ever seen a game like that since. The intensity is just so high from the tip-off. Incredible memory.
It's interesting, because I kinda have this same exact feeling. I always come back to this game to remind myself how much tough a defense can be in the Finals. I'm with you, ever since this game there has not been such physical play in any other game, in any playoff series.
i mean the defense was tight but its not good basketball. its just bad shot after bad shot. and its not like the celtics were putting in insane effort, cuz in the first half alone the lakers had 15 offensive rebounds, and 23 for the game. the celtics got 8 offensive rebounds for the game. you cant 1 third of the opponent's offensive rebounds and say that the celtics were playing with crazy intensity. none of the teams moved the ball that much. it was very iso heavy, not a lot of ball movement and then shoot a shot contested by 2 or 3 people
It was like an all out heavyweight fight. Every possession was a battle. Great game that went down to the wire on who was going to have the will to outlast the other

People always say Pau was overrated and soft. This man was an absolute beast. A no doubt Hall of Famer even if it only was his NBA career in consideration. Being an international legend as well seals it.
Ive never heard that. Who are these people you be around? Pau was dope asf and just what Lakers needed? People are dumb alot of times , especially in USA where everyone’s opinion matters and everyone is special
I just remember Fisher running out of the arena so that they would still count his shot in case the ball left his finger after the shot clock had gone off.
Pau Gasol has officially announced his retirement from the NBA. I can’t thank him enough for what he did for the purple and gold. I can’t wait see his jersey next to Kobe at Staples Center. 💛💜
UA-cam is making sure to run ads on nearly every vid involving Kobe even if you don’t have it monetized. So I’m sure they’re just trying to make some bread
For me, when I was watching this series, I felt like it was in Gasol's hands. Kobe is Kobe but he can't do it all himself. Gasol was without a doubt the second most skilled on the team offensively. Then Lamar, then Bynum.
Artest > Bynum. Artest was MVP level in Indiana and fucking amazing in Houston. 1. Kobe 2. Pau 3. Artest 4. Odom (although Odom was more talented than Ron)
It's the team that won the championship. One super star cannot do everything. You need a second elite player in Gasol and a glue like Lamar Odom and Bynum for the boards and size. The bench is for depth and the intangibles. Ron Artest was a great pick-up after Ariza left and the defensive intangibles and shutdown defense remained with the team. This is why I love the 2009 and 2010 Lakers teams. Depth with homegrown talent and key free agent signings and trades did the job.
Hristijan Dimitrovski he was relentless tho he never gave up on the possession he had so many second chance put backs in the first quarter he never gave up in this game
I don't remember the last time I saw all 10 players inside the 3 point line in a basketball game. I saw it multiple times in this video. Crazy how much the game has changed in just 10 years.
@@juanpalma6595 Basketball was played best from ‘08 to ‘16. Perfect variety all around. Now everyone just chucks 3s or blows by closing defenders for layups/floaters. Hardly anyone has a post game or mid range anymore.

People don’t realize how good pau gasol was . Great post moves, can hit the mid range jumper lights out, a rebounding machine, super smart basketball iq, and super intense
What a legend. I am from Alaska and am a Bulls fan. I've seen many games at the United Center. Anyways, my point is, I am an even bigger fan of basketball. I had to hold my tears watching Pau get his jersey in the rafters. This is a simple yet great tribute for us to refresh our minds of why Pau was great.
he really was, I've come to appreciate him much more as the years go by after his retirement, I didn't see a lot of this part of his career and only saw him more injured on the lakers in the mid 2010s, but I'm a trailblazer fan and it was cool to have him for a tiny bit even though he barely played. legend
True Lakers fans nothing but kind words for Pau à True Laker legend but this vidéo title should read Pau coming up big in game 7 there were 6 other games and we know what Kobe did offensively in those first 6 and what he did defensively in game 7 along with 13 rebounds if i’m accurate this is a clear shot at Kobe
Me too, but, there is some footage where you can see he shoots the ball after his feet touch the ground, being that a travel. Almost impossible to notice in real time of course. So proud to have witnessed Pau play both in the NBA and with the spanish national team.
wait, you’re saying that kobe would be the only person that could win with peak pau? Have you seen how efficient and productive he was before he joined the lakers? that has nothing to do with Kobe. Plenty of the all time greats would win with pau and to say otherwise is just a way to bring pau down to bring kobe up.
Watching this again this morning hit different, seeing the way Pau totally gave up his body in this game. Especially after he came off so soft in '08. He got his ass kicked battling in the paint with Wallace and KG. But he stood tall and came through in one of the most physically brutal games I have ever watched in an NBA Final that didn't involve Detroit. But this morning, seeing the link between these guys on this team, I regret we couldn't keep that core together. Kobe, Pau, Odom and Fisher. Now, seeing that this week, Pau and his wife named their new daughter Elisabet Gianna, the obvious brotherhood he shared with Kobe, it just makes me so emotional.
I watch this live on cable back in 2010, But now I noticed Pau really put his soul on this Game, Look at his facial expression at 9:00, that look is ready to kill or to be killed. But he killed this one. Nice one Pau. You really saved Kobe's Legacy. You belong to the HOF.
8:30 i cant explain to you how pulling the chair on Gasol at that moment was such a absurdly veteran move. But how fucking cool Gasol was in that moment, to avoid that, compose himself, double clutch over two defenders and put the Lakers up by 6 is some HOF clutchness right there. Aand if you didnt know Rasheed was known for that. And he half tried, didnt work, cause Gasol a vet two, then he gets himself back in position cause he a vet too. High level shit right there.
The double pump Pau shot with 1:32 left is an all time great shot. So much on the line. He was a monster this game. We needed him as Kobe was pressing early.
Pau won at the beginning of the decade . Marc wins at the end of the decade . Fun fact both finals mvps of those titles names begin with a K , and were superstar wing players winning there second finals mvp
Not just Game 7 of the Finals, but Game 7 of the Finals between the oldest rivals of the league. This was the most important game of most of these players' careers.
I used to criticized Gasol for being soft but man this guy played his heart out for the Lakers . Huge Reason why Kobe was able to win 2 more rings . First ballot hall of gamer no doubt. What a great moment to be immortalized along with other legends . #16 in the rafters well deserve
makes me mad and sad how horribly we treated pau. the man had skill and the organization just let the media butcher him it wasnt deserved, tho sometimes it was like damn it pau dunk that shit
its so crazy to see how much the game of basketball has changed. we don't rely so much on centers like we used to. they used to be key players but the 3 point shot has really changed the game and how they play the game today.
Pau Gasol had a big impact on game 7 and the Lakers still only won by 4 points. If Pau game had been off a little, I doubt the Lakers would have won being how close the game was, I think it also helped a lot that game 7 was on their home floor.
Really looking back at this team ,its really crazy to me lakers won back to back their second best player was pau ,dont get me wrong pau is a hall of famer he was great but wow they beat a team with 4 hall of famers Kobe was amazing
Maybe the most under appreciated Laker legend...

wait, you’re saying that kobe would be the only person that could win with peak pau? Have you seen how efficient and productive he was before he joined the lakers? that has nothing to do with Kobe. Plenty of the all time greats would win with pau and to say otherwise is just a way to bring pau down to bring kobe up.
Samuel Díez meant to reply other dude
Watching this again this morning hit different, seeing the way Pau totally gave up his body in this game. Especially after he came off so soft in '08. He got his ass kicked battling in the paint with Wallace and KG. But he stood tall and came through in one of the most physically brutal games I have ever watched in an NBA Final that didn't involve Detroit.
But this morning, seeing the link between these guys on this team, I regret we couldn't keep that core together. Kobe, Pau, Odom and Fisher. Now, seeing that this week, Pau and his wife named their new daughter Elisabet Gianna, the obvious brotherhood he shared with Kobe, it just makes me so emotional.
Was I was to young to notice all of this. Now I’m watching what he did man what a legend!
8:33 i remember as a kid thinking "how on earth did he make that??" Pau jersey better be retired one day in staples
Its shamr that he didnt stayed in lakers and finish his carer in la
@@reltihfloda7419 he reserves
He'll play another season after the bubble
Same
there was steps on that move
I remember watching this series and really seeing that Kobe had a squad. Fisher was nice and Ron and of course Gasol. You can’t do it alone.
3:54 Kobe couldn't control his excitement.
skippy malkovich 😂😂
lol
Gayyeeeee
Absolute will by Pau in this game, guy deserves hall of fame. Stats speak for itself
Such a classic series.
Epic defense on both sides.
2010 Pual gasol had a greatest Left hand hook shot in NBA this season.
Good balance and beautiful FG.
One of Kobe’s best teammates and one of Kobe’s best friends
As much as I love Kobe, this caption is true. He changed life when he got to LA. Kobe would NOT have won without him and Bynum. Period.
I watch this live on cable back in 2010, But now I noticed Pau really put his soul on this Game, Look at his facial expression at 9:00, that look is ready to kill or to be killed. But he killed this one. Nice one Pau. You really saved Kobe's Legacy. You belong to the HOF.
Gasol is AWESOME 👏 I love to see him play great team
What a great combination Pau nd Kobe! Rest In Peace Kobe!
8:30 i cant explain to you how pulling the chair on Gasol at that moment was such a absurdly veteran move. But how fucking cool Gasol was in that moment, to avoid that, compose himself, double clutch over two defenders and put the Lakers up by 6 is some HOF clutchness right there. Aand if you didnt know Rasheed was known for that. And he half tried, didnt work, cause Gasol a vet two, then he gets himself back in position cause he a vet too. High level shit right there.
And 10 years later he named his baby after Gianna 🙌🏼
Respect Pau
I got goosebumps when Pau made that shot at 1:30 in the 4th quarter. Man how time flies
I still get emotional watching this 10 years after it.
Everyone is going to celebrate with Gasol, that is greatness
This game cemented Gasol to the Hall of Fame.
That man had his mind made up. He was NOT losing this game.
The double pump Pau shot with 1:32 left is an all time great shot. So much on the line. He was a monster this game. We needed him as Kobe was pressing early.
Will never forget this game me my sister and my mom watching every possession. One of my favorite life memory
Pau won at the beginning of the decade . Marc wins at the end of the decade .
Fun fact both finals mvps of those titles names begin with a K , and were superstar wing players winning there second finals mvp
Maurice Johnson fun fact, i love men
hardyzRKO huh????
Lol kawhi is not even close to the level of kobe don't ever compare that bum to Kobe.
Alexander Sandoval he definitely not it was just a fun fact bro lol Kobe goat
@@hardyzRKO ha, gayyyy?
8:33 one of the toughest baskets under the rim I've ever seen, over 3 defenders....
really was a tough shot, not even considering the pressure of the situation
yep. kobe, the mj wannabe, usually crumbles inside a triple team
He's really underrated
That guy Artest looks a lot like Meta Worldpeace

What a game. I still get emotional. These are my Lakers ❤️
Everybody was playing good defense, it’s game 7 the finals everybody was nervous asl
Not just Game 7 of the Finals, but Game 7 of the Finals between the oldest rivals of the league. This was the most important game of most of these players' careers.
lebron love game 7
Watching is this live was one of the most intense experiences of my life
I used to criticized Gasol for being soft but man this guy played his heart out for the Lakers . Huge Reason why Kobe was able to win 2 more rings . First ballot hall of gamer no doubt. What a great moment to be immortalized along with other legends . #16 in the rafters well deserve
So they retired his jersey?
Congrats for the Hall, Pau !
You had to feel great for the guy. He closed off the game
makes me mad and sad how horribly we treated pau. the man had skill and the organization just let the media butcher him it wasnt deserved, tho sometimes it was like damn it pau dunk that shit
F1nalB0zz yeah true pau was my guy but sometimes he just had to dunk the damn ball. The years after his productivity started to diminish.
@@F1nalB0zz what happened?
@@M.Đ-z4u with what?
@@F1nalB0zz with gasol in la.who treated him bad?
Underated center he is my favorite center of all time 💪💪
Pau = Legend
Good Hustle Mr. Gasol!!and for having a brother legends back Kobe Bryant 💜💛💜💛🏀🏀 you will forever be missed Kobe and Gigi❤️🥺🙏🙏
Everyone only remembers what they want to remember about certain people's careers
Right. Kobe was overall pretty bad in elimination games
Kobe was awful when it mattered the most but people always boasting about his "clutch gene"
G Fleury I can tell you never watched Kobe play with shaq since Kobe did good in multiple playoff games against the spurs for example
@@tony4834 I said ELIMINATION games, not playoff games. Learn how to read
@@tony4834 2001 was not an elimination game, you know why?... dun dun dun he wasn't facing elimination
Best part: Adam Morrison at the end saying to Kobe "Good job, Baby!" and getting his next ring for free. LOL
Pau GOATsol: 2 NBA Champ, future induction to the hall of fame
its so crazy to see how much the game of basketball has changed. we don't rely so much on centers like we used to. they used to be key players but the 3 point shot has really changed the game and how they play the game today.
Why the title gotta put Kobe down like that? Why couldn’t it just have raised Pau up; like “Pau creates his own legacy” instead of this?
Pau Gasol had a big impact on game 7 and the Lakers still only won by 4 points. If Pau game had been off a little, I doubt the Lakers would have won being how close the game was, I think it also helped a lot that game 7 was on their home floor.
Gasol had 2-3 bodies on him the whole damn time still too good he should've won this finals mvp I swear
Thank you so much Pau! and the rest of the roster! You are the best player for me in game 7! Kobe is so greatful to have you.
Adam Morrison at 9:43 "Good JOB BABY!" - niceee
Peezy 😂😂😂😂😂
When they actually played defense in the nba instead of letting everyone shoot 3’s
Marcelino Zuniga stfu
And when professionals teams were having 20% shooting in a nba finals
nice now I know you don't actually watch games
Good times.
@@Josue-vt9iw Oh please, great defense or not, shooting 20% on a professional level is a joke.
Really looking back at this team ,its really crazy to me lakers won back to back their second best player was pau ,dont get me wrong pau is a hall of famer he was great but wow they beat a team with 4 hall of famers Kobe was amazing
Remember this game .. it was awesome
