I'm from the Philippines you've been here couple of times unfortunately, i haven't got a chance to meet you in person but i just want to tell you that you impact a lot of people not just in basketball but mostly everything that you believed it in real life.

Daym crazy how much the NBA changed since this! Having 2 bigs in the starting line up was a MUST still!!!

Given that Nash was such a gifted passer, his ability to shoot was really slept on. I mean, the dude nearly averaged 50-40-90 for his career, which is mad.

What a great game. One of Nash's last playoff games, Kobe's last championship run, five hall of famers (Kobe, Nash, Phil Jackson, Pau Gasol, Grant Hill), a Slovenian rivalry (Dragic vs Vujacic), and such great versions of both the Lakers and the Suns.

RIP Kobe and Gianna. Kobe fought a good fight winning all those games with the Lakes, win or lose you're still a SUPERSTAR, KING, of the LAKERS. You're our GOAT and we love you, Kobe. When the going gets rough, you still rise to the occasion and get the job done. There is no holding you back, pain, or no pain you're still on the court being the leader of the LA. Lakers. What a great leader you are, thank you for the examples you set for all of us to follow. Thank God for you Kobe, you're one in a million in a lifetime. Thank you, NBA for sharing these classic games of Kobe's.

@@lukejanis2016 its funny cause this Suns team was actually one of the first teams to do the free to launch as many threes as u want at any time offense too when Dantoni was coach with his system a couple years earlier. They have two centers here with Lopez starting idk if thats cause they were doing that all season or cause they were facing Lakers twin towers but with Dantoni he liked to put Amare at center and surround him with shooters like Houston many years later with Harden and it made Nash and Stoudemires pick and roll game lethal. Mike Dantoni was actually way ahead of the whole analytics movement with spreading the floor, open the paint, rapid shooting offense he just never had a Curry and Klay but Steve Nash and Jason Richardson were close and Jared Dudley and I think even Frye all shot around or above 40% so Phoenix was the Splash squad lol. The big difference is Kerr is an all around great coach on both sides of the ball and Dantoni had/has a terrible reputation for not coaching any defense so his teams were usually ass on that end while Golden states great with Draymond as the anchor and Klay before was nice too on d.

I was a huge Suns fan during this period and OMG the heart break, but I loved watching the Steve Nash/ Kobe duels in the mid to late 2005 to 2010 period of time

Pau in his prime was something else. I knew he had great footwork, could back down, turn over the shoulder, shoot the mid, pass out of the double, etc. One thing I didn't appreciate until now was his ability to string a series of movements together so seamlessly when off the ball. Like he could set a screen, come off, go across the paint, line up with a driving Kobe, catch a tight pass, and lay the ball up in the same stride while maintaining his body control. This Laker front court was pretty unique, now that I look back on it. I know this isn't considered one of the great teams of all time, but I think their length/skill/mobility would give a lot of teams trouble.

Kobe put up: 34, 8, 7 on 52% fg and 43% 3ptfg and COUNTLESS clutch shots, and you're talking about PAU? Kobe would've won 2 more rings with freaking Zach Randolph if Pau wasn't there. Pau was a very good player but not a GREAT player. What did he ever do without Kobe? Nothing. And if anything, Kobe made him a better player the same way MJ made Pippen a better player by toughening him up and pushing him in practice, even to the point of physical confrontation. Pau was great, but he was a replaceable part (Lamarcus Aldridge could've done what Pau did for those Lakers teams). ZERO First Team all nba selections during his time with Kobe. Maybe one 2nd team all nba selection. Again, very good player but not great. And did not make the NBA's top 75 list.

I loved this matchup, Nash being my favorite player of all time vs the Mamba. It was just extraordinary they both revolutionized their position.
