Kobe Bryant vs. Reggie Miller in the final seconds of the 2000 Finals needs a deep rewind

Спорт

We all remember Kobe Bryant as a bonafide star but there was a time were journalists viewed him as an overhyped talent. Not my words but the criticism was deserved. During his first few years in the league, Kobe had dreadful performances in the playoffs, including shooting four airballs in five minutes in the ‘97 Western Conference Semifinals. His postseason play didn’t match his hype. Although, in the regular season, Kobe constantly kept elevating his game year by year and cemented himself as the second star on the Lakers behind ​​Shaquille O'Neal. Even as he came closer to reaching star status, he was still regarded as Shaq’s sidekick. In the 2000 NBA Finals though, that view could potentially change.
During a back-and-forth Game Four against the Indiana Pacers, Shaq fouled out of the game with a little over two and a half minutes to play in overtime as the Lakers held a three-point lead. Instead of LA folding under the pressure of not having their franchise star, Kobe completely took over the game in overtime, putting the Lakers in a great position to take a three-game to-one series lead. It could be a defining moment in his young career but as the Lakers found themselves up two points with seconds remaining on the clock, Reggie Miller is about to fire up a game-winning three.
Reggie was still in pursuit of his first NBA title which escaped him for years and as one of the most clutch shooters in the NBA, this shot could crush Kobe's moment and become the Reggie Miller game. Before we witness what comes next, it’s important to remember the moments that got us here. To do that, we need to rewind.

    Reggie’s arc as a Pacer is truly under appreciated. He came so close so many times only to be stopped by literal all time greats. And just when he was pushing for one more chance… the Malice in the Palace 🤦‍♂

    Yeah, I've always liked Reggie and rooted for him...Those Pacers teams in the mid-late 1990s were REALLY good, and they just couldn't quite get there - I am sure for him 1999 probably hurts the most, as they were probably the best team in the east that year (three way tie for the best record with Orlando and Miami), and they end up losing to their arch rival, the eight seed Knicks on that flukey Larry Johnson four point play that completely swung the momentum of the series in the conference final. Then, they have the best team in the east in 2005, and the Brawl at the Palace happens, completely wiping away that year. He got close so many times...but never over the hump.

    Gotta feel for him as a coach... finally Jordan is gone and he finally gets his Pacers team to the finals, then runs smack into Kobe's coming out as the closest we'll ever see to Jordan in Game 4. Lifelong Laker fan who grew up on Magic vs Bird. I think it's vastly under appreciated that Kobe, ironically, got his first title against Larry Bird (and naturally his last against the Celtics). Who else?

    I think Reggie Miller is a great example of someone who was truly talented and world class in his position achieving more success than most basketball players dream of ( gold medals, franchise star, Nba broadcaster, Hall of Fame inductee, and ranked one of the top 75 players ever ) Whose greatness is eclipsed by the all-time greats he competed against and because of that a lot of his biggest moments are at the hands of the people who were better than him or on better teams than him on their way to a title. It's probably a small consolation but so many championship roads and moments went through Reggie Miller and I guess if the tragedy of his career is that he never won a ring I hope he would take some pride in knowing that he made hell for the people who beat him out for it each and every time.

    Excellent video I'm a huge Lakers fan I remember this game vividly watching it at home with my dad(RIP) who was a huge Lakers fan but when the Jazz came to Utah the Lakers became his 2nd team which made for an interesting father/son rivalry. When the Jazz would play the Lakers my dad used to make me go downstairs to watch the games and would constantly talk trash through the vent or stomp on the floor and lay it on thick of the Jazz won and if the Lakers won which began to happen starting the 1999-2000 season my dad would tell me he was a Lakers fan long before I was born lol. I do remember when my dad took me to see the 1988 showtime Lakers vs the Malone/Stockton led Jazz. He had tickets to game 3 & 4 right behind the basket at the old Salt Palace. I caught so much crap from jazz fans( which would be a constant theme at games in the future) but game 4 when the Lakers won I had the bragging rights and I was only 8 years old at the time let the Jazz fans know what time it was ( another constant theme at games in the future which led to numerous incidents which I never started only finished) the Jazz fans behind us kept asking my dad if I was a serious diehard Lakers fan as I was portraying my dad let them know I was.

    Reggie Miller's career was so great, filled with many great moments, and it's unbelievable to think how, just like Charles Barkley for instance, he never won a ring. The Pacers were a tough as nails team, and underrated players like Rik Smiths were pillars of a squad built to squander the heroes. But MJ and Kobe were anti-heroes. Reggie will forever be one of the greatest ever, despite nevery winning the Larry O'Brien trophy.

    I'm glad that Rik Smits was able to make an all star team so that he will always have that on his resume because he had developed into a legitimate top centers in the league. He won't be thought of that way by people who just go to his scoring average to form their own opinion. He's one of those players you need to see play and know how good play affects a game overall. Like Mario Elie.

    Absolutely. Rik had exceptional footwork for a guy 7’4” and had great spacing and court awareness. He knew he wasn’t going to be the greatest athlete on the court, but he was an exceptionally smart player that knew just where he needed to be. How many times did Rik block out the opposing center enabling one of the Davises to grab the board? Countless.

    @@zlinedavid To use LeBron as some context, the narrative for fans and even some analyst (not much need to also mention LeBron himself) was that LeBron didn't have any help. But in his first go around with Cleveland, he may have still lost but at least he wouldn't have been swept by San Antonio if he would've realized that the help that he needed was to develop his own shot. He called himself the greatest player in the world, and the who's consider a top defender in the league with Bruce Bowen sags below the free throw line while LeBron is at the top of the key. You don't need anybody who's consider the greatest, but replace that with somebody like Byron Scott, not one team would consider giving that much space. And just a little bit of a threat to score with that much space does wonders for opening up a teams offense.

    That rule still exists today. It's a "Away from-the-play foul", read section 10 of the "RULE NO. 12: Fouls and Penalties" NBA rule book. It's posted online for all to read. It basically means if you foul before the throw-in, you get 1 free throw by any player, plus possession. If it's an offensive foul, same thing just in reverse. So if Jalen Rose fouled Rick Fox as an example.
