Hard To Believe This Happened 19 Years Ago

[gauchojake]

One of the greatest comebacks in NBA history

I was sitting in a casino in Puerto Rico at the bar watching this game with every asshole and their mother rooting against the Lakers. SFO

[shadymcgrady]

Can't remember if it was pippen or sheed that threw a towel in sabonis's face during a timeout that failed to stop the meltdown

[gauchojake]

It's crazy to see how many all stars and HOF'ers were on both teams. We complain about "super teams" now, but both of these teams are loaded.

We are spoiled with all of the Championships. LA has so many great teams. So many great times to reminisce about. No dynasties last forever but the Lakers have a track record of rebuilding so I am fairly confident that I will have many more memories of Lakers hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy. Who is your team Peavy?

Here is another great memory - My buddy Kevin (RIP) called me up one morning and said hey you want to go to the Lakers game? He worked for AEG and was the main rep in charge of the Anheiser Busch account at Staples. We had seats in the 100's near the basket and then went to the AB suite to watch the rest of the game. Then this happened

Jakers excited!

[shadymcgrady]

As long as Jeanie buss is running the show, all you'll have is memories Jake

[funnyb25]

You see that monstrous bush on Jeanie Buss from her Playboy days?

Hopefully that thing is in check today.

[shadymcgrady]

Funny you don't even like women just stop

[funnyb25]

OH, but I do!

So much!

She's fine. Everyone forgets that her brother and Mitch Kupchak fukked shit up pretty good and it's taken some time to get it unfukked. All of the noise is just tabloid bullshit. Next year is going to be crazy in the NBA.

I'll never forget that game. It was the moment I knew Kobe was destined to be one of the greatest ever.

Blazers were overrated and I think the only reason they got so far is because LA had so many good playrs with big egos, and Phil Jackson helped them to control that. But Blazers were an aging team and they really had no explosive players who could just take over a game. Steve Smith and Sabonis and Sheed and Pippen were all rock solid players, but none of them were superstars who could impose their will as a number 1 option on a championship team.

Yes but there were more Superstars years ago.

Now there's fewer and them assembling on the same teams makes it even worse.

My boy Sam Jacobson on that squad!

[lakerboy]

I remember that for sure. With a fellow Lakers fan and we were almost ready to cry then Portland became Portland again

they were like a pistons team just loaded with depth. not overrated at all. smart defensive players. ft line saved lakers per usual.
