The Blazers should've won this series. That Portland team was so good.

People make such a big deal of Portland losing a 15 point lead...all I remember is the Lakers almost lost a 3-1 series lead

Pippen is so smooth. He could play with anymore.

this blazers team is one of the best teams ever to not win a championship, Pippen e Schrempf playing today would be even better than in his day

Scottie was rejuvenated when he went to Portland. He was in the twilight of his career but was playing like he was 30 again. This team was damn good and he knew this was his last chance to win a ring without Jordan. To bad a prime Shaq was standing in his way.

Scottie also looked good in Portland. That team was no push over. Too bad they lost the series.

Gotta love all the fouls on Sabonis where he savagely hit Shaq's elbow with his face.

You forget how freaking physical Shaq was. Dang. At this time, I was a Blazers fan, but I'm not denying that freaking power.

Shaq beast! Sheed was so nasty

I agree,that game 7 was in the Lakers favor.Kobe goes for 6-24 and L.A. still wins.......that's bullshit.

i love these blazers!! should have won in 7!

Rasheed could have been one of the best ever. He just needed another star next to him. Still, Pippen abused Kobe. Great series. Portland nearly took 3 games in LA against prime Shaq. Best team to not win a championship.

scottie torched kobe in this series.

Pippen33 and 34,....👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

Pippen got fouled on that 3 he hit on Kobe before the half.

young rasheed wallace amazing

These teams would dominate today.

Early 2000's real basketball inside out this was a real good series 20 years still the game today not the same.

yeah, winning the championship brought the Lakers closer together as a team and that's what the Blazers needed desperately.

I just wish that scotty couldve got some of kobe when he was in his prime.

love that skyhook by Sheed at the end.

I think it's strange how the Lakers won late against Portland when Portland had them done easy.I don't try to take away what Shaq and Kobe did,but that 2000 WCF was strange,but the 2002 was all the way rigged.I think it's probably the most rigged in NBA History.There's no way The Kings should've lost man.

at least pippen and jordan has stronger physical ability to kobe almost forgot rasheed was so good, last year hes just too loud and play like a clown

Blazers should won Game 7 i just happened they have a bad coach...im very disappointed ,...Brian Grant a real warrior

Blazers was such a great team! They didn't had any MVP caliber player but they had so many great pieces, mixing great veterans and young talent. A present versions would be something like this roster: Ty Lawson (Stoudamire), Kevin Martin (Steve Smith), Paul Pierce (pippen), Lamarcus Aldridge (Sheed) and Andrew Bogut (Sabonis). Off the bench, players like Okafor (Brian Grant), Derozan (Bonzi Wells) and Mike Miller (Schrenpf)

I was a die hard blazer fan grow as a team..sheed always held his own vs the elite PFs.. My favorite power forward as teen

Even the rematch of Lakers vs Celtics in 2010 was rigged IMO.

I love catching up on NBA history

if you watched that year,the year in this video and the year/series I was referring to, then you knew that the Blazers outplayed the Lakers for a vast majority of the games. Bonehead moves, particularly coaching ones, cost them.

Sheed is a monster in the post backthe during jail blazers

This commentator always mention him guarding Earl Monroe 😂

The blazers good team this year Scottie killed Kobe Bryant again but Oneill killed every player to Portland Oneill this year is Strong

Man I honestly believe they cheated both of those teams and when I found out that Tim Donaghy was a referee in the Kings series...I said to myself I knew it all along! IMO Both teams were better than LA.

Kobe played good defense against Sheed on the block. He was able to stop Sheed from putting him on a poster lol

Good shooters in these day would be able to adapt to today's game meaning they would just shoot more threes. But today's players would have to adapt to more physical defense, and how to play more in the post. This era and the era before it in the 90's and 80's by far defeats teams of the current NBA.

GOOD GAME!!

On offense Pip is not on Kobes level but on Defense Pippen stands above Kobe.

its more fair to compair pippen with bryant than jordan with bryant........

That Blazers starting 5 was nice!

That Blazers, Jazz 98, Kings 2002. Wow. But you get Phil Jackson, all star Glen Rice, Ron Harper, Horry and even A.C.Green with experience and could help Shaq and Kobe win their first. Lets remember they got sweap 3 times in a row on offs.

more vids the great!!!!!

u know it, RIP CITY BABY, UUUGH!!

If the Blazers could win one more home game

the title is wrong, scottie and rasheed both had 22

All the Lakers had at that time was Shaq, Kobe was no problem. In fact, if it wasn't for Shaq the Lakers wouldn't have won shit those 3 yrs in a row.

What's that song called at 7:00 mark after Scottie pippen hits that buzzer beating 3 pointer?

That Portland team was built to beat the Lakers, too bad they choked in Game 7

CALIFORNIA LOVE!

Shaq year.

Sabonis (BEAST) vs Shaq (BEAST)

@jumpersking87 from a scoring standpoint kobe was better buy anyone with half of brain knows pip was the full package ask his boy mike, ask magic and yes he could disrupt kobe he had done it smh ppl need to step their basketball IQ up

24 in game 5 7 in game 7

Thankfully this didn’t happen, but how crazy would it have been for the Lakers to blow a 3-1 lead? If they would have blown this to Portland, Shaq and Kobe are probably both getting traded.

I think the 2000 Blazers were great,but they're not the Best Team not to win a championship IMO.The Best Team never to win a championship also fell to the Lakers....and they were the 2002 Kings.

Too bad Pippen never came to the Lakers, he could’ve gotten 9 rings lol. But I gotta say I respect him because he didn’t take the easy way out. He didn’t do the Lebron thing 😂

los blazers merecian ganar su campeonato

Amazing team on Portland why they no won?

Watching this I realize Blazers lost this by giving up 2 at home. They had their chances You couldn't expect them to win 3 games in LA. The nearly did the impossible. Still, Lakers role players saved them more than Shaq or Kobe.

I still wanna know why they had that meltdown. what the fuck happened? 15 point lead going into the 4th quarter. all they had to do was kill time and go for some easy baskets. oh well.....

how many points had kobe :D?

lol, that lob @2:29 is barley lob at all, Shaq might as well of not touched it, looked like it was going in anyways

I know but they cheated the Celtics out of game 7.

Sabones is taller than shaq

if it was jordan with the blazers instead of pipped the blazers win this series in 6 no way they loose two home games and go down 3 to 1 and there's no way they blow a 15 pt lead in a game 7

Scottie kinda shat on Kobe a lot of this series, huh?

Jswan they did go for easy baskets they just missed pip sat most of that first part of the 4th qtr Dunleavy mistake you leave those guys in until the final horn his reason was he was resting scottie cause he thought the game was over and he was going to be the starting pg in the finals smh bad coaching there was 3 or 4 days until the finals start shut him down a few days then of you want to rest him oh well its in the books now and nothing can be done

Portland was loaded

You guys got it all wrong... The best team to never win a championship was the '04 Lakers. The "super team"

if it wasn't for the refs, kobe's career wouldn't have been this good. kobe should thank the refs for betting games

If that was the case, then how come the Lakers trashed them the following 2 years in the playoffs, with the same coach and the same core the Blazers had from 2000?

Kobe was a third wheel behind Shaq and Rice in 2000 championship team.

Pippen showing how valuable of a superstar he is ..... sorry MJ but you never took the wizards to a finals, like Pippen did with the Rockets and Blazers .......

Pippen Better than Kobe???You must be some bored 12yr old kid. Lol
