First I want to thank my subscribers. Its a blessing that I have people who see value in the content I put together. None of it is present day material, making it even more special that people are traveling back in time with me.

Second, I want to thank anybody who is going to take the time to read all of this. Respect to you.

Full Highlights of strictly Kobe Bryant & Shaquille O’Neal from this game weren’t on YouTube until now.

Kobe & Shaq had many legendary performances as a duo. In my opinion, this WCF game 7 in Sacramento was their greatest. It was truly the peak of their partnership. The ultimate test presented itself in this series. The Lakers’ players and fans abroad recognize this best of 7 matchup as the toughest amidst the 3-peat. Game 4, down 24 points in the 2nd quarter while trailing the Kings 2-1; then down 3-2, Kobe & Shaq combining for 72 points and 28 rebounds in game 6; lastly game 7, at Arco in Sacramento, posting a combined 65 points, 23 rebounds and 9 assists in the overtime victory. The “challenge” (as Kobe states in locker-room interview) was an opportunity to embrace and this mentality proved successful.

We talk about a player’s best season, best game. I often think about best shots; the shot that out of all field goals would be #1 (subjective). Whether defined as greatest, best, most memorable, or favorite, my top Shaquille O’Neal basket of his career is the 1 dribble right shoulder turn baseline drifter to tie the game at 106. Its arguably the most clutch shot he ever hit. It exemplifies Shaq’s ability to utilize footwork & post up skills. Plenty of bigs throughout recent memory have shown uncertainty in moments just like that (down 2 with a minute and change left in the most critical game of their life) and tried to force a layup or dunk at the rim. Shaq resorted to his most reliable go-to move, catching C-Webb leaning and drilling the short jumper for points 32 and 33. Absolutely filthy block work in the most “pressure” of situations, a dynasty on the line. It doesn’t get any better than that.

This is one of Kobe’s more underrated performances. 30 points, 10 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals & 2 charges drawn in a WCF game 7 on the road, incredible. He played 52:33 out of the possible 53 minutes, and it would have been 53/53 if not for the faulty drawstring. His poise down the stretch was stunning - calm as can be. Dude was cut from 1 of 1 type cloth.
