Pacers: “ We got a great team”

Lakers: “We got a Shaq”!

[balbin]

Shaq and Kobe Lakers was pretty much the face of the NBA during this time. I just think its a shame nobody ever talks about the Pacers, Reggie Miller was playing his best basketball in my opinion during these Playoffs. This was an amazing Pacers squad, nobody ever really gives Reggie Miller and his Pacers any recognition. He was a great competitor.

Dude was massive, athletic and had good footwork, idk what people’s issue was. There’s no such thing as a perfect. Basketball player

[rickyeldiablo]

Jalen Rose, Mark Jackson and Regiie Miller are all commentators now

Lakers: another era of greatness to go with Showtime, and the great teams of the 60's and early 70's. They now are tied with Boston for most NBA Championships with 17. (Should be 18 but the 'Goin' To Work' crew nearly swept them in 2004. 4 with Shaq and Kobe would have been arguably the best dynasty for a team since the Bulls.
Indiana was on the doorstep of the Finals at least 4 different times in addition to finally breaking through in 2000. It would have been interesting to see how they would have done against the '04 Lakers in the Finals. THAT team was really tough.
Indiana was so good for so long, but ran into great Knicks, Bulls, Lakers, Magic, and Piston teams, all denying them a title. Great team, just could not quite reach the Larry O'Brien Trophy...

Now, this is real basketball! Every play is played hard. Hand checking and bumping were allowed. Almost every play had some physical contact.

[georgearevalo]

Aahhh...back then when you had to impatiently wait for the score to pop up on the screen...

[angusdog]

Shaq had so many moves . They always want to talk about his size and dominance . The man had finesse in spades . Jordan may be the GOAT 🐐 but Shaq was the unicorn 🦄

[migsamigo]

If this line up will play to this era... They will defeat all teams

[sancraftsco]

Good to see Chandler Bing smiling here. RIP matthew perry Kobe Bryant

[andoyztv]

Missin this kinda game with a Center position playing strong inside the paint but nowadays centers trying to make three's

[devangpatel]

the one and only season in his career shaq was 110% focused from preseason through finals

[mjolnir]

it is wild that it is crazy how there was no three pointers, just as far as 2019 (besides the Warriors). The game has changed, folks- and not for the better.

[redfloyd]

Can't believe it took until the Pistons for Phil Jackson to lose in the playoffs. The Bulls and Lakers had some fierce competition every year, including this Pacers team.

[dirrckroberts]

Miller and Shaq went 8-8 head to head in the playoffs with Shaq winning 2 of the 3 playoff series including this championship..

[sonicthehedgehog]

Loved that Pacers team but Reggie wasn't getting a ring that season Shaq was monster in 2000

[kamariwilliams]

Chris rock not knowing that 22 years from now will smith was gonna smack him at the oscars🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂

[erickramos]

If this team would play in this era! Like Shaq says BBQ CHICKEN!!! Your not stopping this lakers team!

[c.o.g]

Mark Jackson was a wizard with that rock! 🔥
