Make sure you guys get your lives right with God before its too late and you guys go to Hell.

He was in the 2000 ncaa finals and 2022 east finals...he's had a great career in the sport...not bad for an undrafted player...but the only reason he still counts as a player is cause for 6 years he's barley played much...let's be honest...he has rested a lot for years now

To me, it's not if KB8 scored the most points because he's had those games but it's that he played, didn't argue with anyone and played for the fans without getting hurt. It was hard for KB8 to get open and in this game, they tripled teamed him every time down the court but did you see the shoulder rubs off the screens to get open and the immediate jumpers from midrange? Hardest thing to do is make a basket off the dribble with contact from the screener giving a PROPER screen LOL! After 20, first half & 3 fouls, I didn't expect him to GET to playing in those final 7 minutes you're referring to but he did and I know with all the attempts and attention from the defense that allowed him to make those skip passes to the open man for 3, he had to be EXHAUSTED. KB8 said, "I leave it ALL on the court" & they went to the Finals that year against Detroit even though that was his court case year. That said, I stand by my comment of being a vintage KB8 showing.💯
Someone explained elsewhere that the NBA compressed the game files to make sure they could keep every game recorded in a database. The compression process lowered the original definition and thats why it looks so bad - if I'm not mistaken. They should still have the higher definition game somewhere, they just didn't post it.
@@kenochill2190 sigh another who never watched Wade his prime! Show me a SG with a better finals performance than Flash 06 and a better season than Wades 09!? I'll wait..
Wow... lots to notice as far as how the game on-court x refs x fitness has changed. Those 3 second calls and charging calls and no continuation buckets on fouls, how'd I forget about those shifts haha. Iffy mid-range shooting from almost everyone... again, that's come a long way in a relatively short number of years. Average pace x fitness is pretty noticeably slower x lower than today's game. Atkins was a machine from 3... phew... so good to be reminded of that. Lastly, Shaq might've been the only player who could've pulled off bringing back the underhand FT shot... and his % made would've been radically boosted.
Body contact is completely different from the current NBA... It's a pity that the current nba has a fast offensive rhythm and the number of individual skills has drastically decreased. Games around this time had a good balance between inside and outside, and there were many highlights.
This was a great game to rewatch, and I love that the NBA is posting these full game replays, but the amount of ads in this video is RIDICULOUS! Almost stopped watching halfway through because of it. As soon as somebody would elevate for a shot….AD!! Like wtf
This game was fun to watch, 3-pointer is not the first option. I didn't feel like falling asleep while watching the game. No commentator said silky smooth and wet when a player made a shot.
ok this was 2004 i guess, so IF you look at KOBE how he looked at the end of the 2004 season in the finals, than you know this guy trained a lot in summer !
Kobe 3 at 9:55 in the 3rd was 💯 percent not a 3! He’s a legend but seriously that’s what I call picking and choosing. He might as well been in the paint
Man it's been a long time since I've rewatched any early 2000's ball but man.. offensive schemes have come a long way. That's all I'll say on that lol.
I was at this game In my Knicks Orange Alan Houston Jersey 3rd row from the floor 5 seats to the right of Hubie Brown. Tried to find a good shot of me, All I can see is my Back. 😆
36:00 The most obvious 2 pointer I’ve seen marked as a 3. Not one person bothered to even mention it even the commentators even after replay lol. This would never fly during a Jeff VanGundy called game 😂
Hey NBA. A commercial every 3 mins? If I want I CAN go watch this on the NBA app without adds (and i could, I have a subscription) but why make it so unwatchable here? You already have our money but you still need to suck as much youtube revenue out of this 18 year old game as you can, seriously? Cool. Cool channel.
I thought at that time it was a bad decision passing it to Kobe because he had two defenders on them it would have been great for Kobe to pass it to Lamar Odom to take the last shot I know it sounds crazy but it would have been a good choice make or Miss

I see Kyrie do that a lot. Makes sense since he loved Kobe so much.
That was planned and coordinated thats the best part. That whole play was designed by kobe to attack shaq for sure
Rest In Peace Kobe damn we miss you 😢

it feels totally different watching games in the mid 2000's compared to todays's game. The on-court music is different too.
The fact that Haslem is still playing is crazy

He retired now I think
I remembered this game like it was on air yesterday...RIP Kobe.

Yeah 👍
D Wade went absolutely nuts in this game.

At 36:06 Kobe's foot is clearly on the three point line. That shot should've only counted as 2 points.

@NBA why no year in the title
Couple more adds would be dope. I'm less than 12 minutes in but I've only been blessed with 4 add breaks. Step you're game up.
14:20 = 5th add break
an ad every five minutes are you kidding me or what
Kobe and Shaq would each have at least 7 rings if they stayed together
The way shaq look in this game says otherwise. Dude was declining fast lol
@@colinnixon7739I agree because he didn’t take care of himself and would come into training camps fat and out of shape.
A little Gematria.
Kobe and Shaq scored the 38 point for their team and Shaq’s stat below at the moment was 8/3.
Be Blessed.

Shaq rlly was a big, how do you stop someone that size, Brian grant came in the game and collected 2 fouls quickly
What year was this ? !
2004
shaq was soooo fucking petty smfh
7:54 I don't remember Wade being able to palm the ball.
15:15 looks like Kobe wasn’t used to playing without Shaq yet. That would’ve been an easy slam for him
Kobe with no help
He ran the help he had out of town there's a reason they never signed big free agents when he was there nobody wants to play with a ballhog
Nice
If you download Kobe Bryant start the beginning to the ends.
RIP kobe
Shaq should do the granny shot at the free throw line
Too many commercials!!!!!!!!!
