Is there any random game over your years as a Lakers fan that you find yourself thinking about time to time? Not necessarily a game that had any major importance, just one that you have particularly good memories of.
For some reason mine is the game vs the mavericks in 2019 where Danny Green hit the game winner. I remember thinking after that win in particular that this team really had something and that it was gonna be a wild ride (little did I know lmao).
Interesting, Kobe was never my favorite player, but most of the memorable moments features him.
The 4th quarter comeback from double digits against Portland. For an unknown reason I never had any doubt that team would win the title.
The game Kobe hit a 3 with his left. The play was great, but the expression in Cuban’s face is unforgettable. https://youtu.be/PwdaKfEWtIs?si=xQmrm45PFz0bw3Lk
The most creative and beautiful in game dunk ever. When he did it I had to watch the play 400 times to understand how in the bleep hell he did it. It felt so spontaneous plastic and at the same time demolishing. https://youtu.be/wVPefGvl8A8?si=lmJ9rsT52ookJP0S
Kobe outscoring a fully stacked Dallas squad by himself in 3 quarters was the most impressive offensive game I’ve seen from any player including MJ and his own 81 pts.
It was clear since day 1 Kobe would be a superstar, but when he did this shit it becomes clear we had a generational talent. I love Mamba, but Frobe was a force of nature. He still had his fresh knees and his early crossovers and his bounciness where just crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7lQZpsGv6o
Kareem was (an still is) my favorite player, but Magic had the most memorable hook shot of the glorious Lakers history. I was a teen and I remember me and my friends repeating it to dead. Fuck Boston. https://youtu.be/R8-FO57_fvU?si=GkIjMuTxBkJ7yeVr
