you want to do it all because you never know what could happen stand the other garden number 24 6 6 13 seasons out of Laura Marion high school Kobe Bryant's all Fame Center has a great job of tutoring White House will be Bryant rattles it in both teams shooting well the start Lakers have hit their first week Madelon series is back off to a good start with his second field goal and both teams shooting well early via free agency it's the first time he was going to be a featured part of any offense Brian quick throw blocked by Howard but he hit it off the backboard was close he chooses trying to hound Bryant back up the Fisher you should get going with his jumper he's been off the mark so far in the class but he is a big-time clutch performer knocks down that one Gasol spots up now the shawls a develop terrific year all-nba thirteen's had some huge games in the playoff especially games five of six in the Denver series Brian gets in sighs pops shot gets it to go he's back again this is just simple basketball size advantage Brian in the post over Courtney Lee and the help defense Lakers six all running Michael Jackson likes it beat by 39 at the new Boston Garden walking off the floor with green confetti falling on top of them as the Celtics celebrated such a disappointing loss they were questioned about their toughest we asked Kobe Bryant are they different this year or tougher take much tougher tale tougher mentally tougher physically anywhere you know that the series that we've had a few tall you sit in Denver those are three very physical teams tough teams and you know we had to overcome adversity and it's particularly that you sit in Denver series and we managed to do that rose it down like you saw Kobe Bryant yesterday he is as serious as we've seen of all season right now another pick-and-roll good content by Beatrice Tenno run by the Lakers Kobe the last six [Music] Kobe Bryant deflected by LC Brian gets it right back falling away tough shot pucks at a halt on a shot for Corey Ryan so you should be in timeout right away you make a shot like that you have to go to the silence Brian pulls up again go be by with 16 little dream shake right there great contest by Pinterest better offense by Brian this guy you put him in pick and road to solve that's a difficult difficult cover [Music] former all-star guards died as a heart attack today Smith died while on a treadmill with his league has ever seen outstanding watches of every youngster with the Buffalo grade touchdown pass the Bryant but he has to come back to get it and after a good defense Derrick also has five assists so far drives kicks it out Gasol wide open jumper knocks you down the hole is for the final shot Bryant gets inside drives on Gortat get to the goal final seconds Nelson and Nelson does not get the shot off the time and all of a sudden put his foot on the gas pedal taking advantage of the small of magic defenses you talk about degree of difficulty well defended contesting this is good defense by people you have done your job good defense just better offense that's why he's the best in the world once again the contest when he gets it going he talked about him I don't even see the defend in the picture took over in the first half the number is 18 points six assists no turnovers five rebounds put on there pretty bold action in if you see right away Andrew Bynum coming over to set the screen prices know I don't want to be trapped let me dance one-on-one with the small league to the first half before he picked up his third foul Brian tough shot Oxford we might be out of one of nights he's got 22 already Kobe Bryant 26 for Kobe Bryant and a chance for a three-point play well a very good screen by Gasol very good use of the screen by Bryant gets to his right hand and you couldn't see the foul there where he clipped his leg but again the play by Dwight Howard is the right play to me the magic need to cut a little bit more the sole put under a beautiful adjustment and they're on their feet at the Staples Center as the Lakers Kobe Bryant on the drive gets to the basket as the shot clock expires he's got 29 and a Lakers back up by 18 not only the twenty nine point seven assists and then he has five rebounds as well [Music] [Applause] he's got that look he's got that game couple of pics shot-clock it - who's got to put it up slice the bacon just so Kobe Bryant brilliant here in the third quarter the Lakers applied 22 [Applause] incredible on the offensive end good defense just better offense the ability to take the hit create your own shot a thing of beauty Brian putting on a quintic the man they call the closure not waiting till the fourth quarter to do his damage whatever it is doors on a mission getting guys involved and then turn back time talking the guys on the bench excited after plays attitude the approach that mentality became contagious and the Lakers from the jump meant business we need as a star acknowledged to be suggested well to it Lakers meanwhile shot the ball very well especially through the first three quarters when the game was decided Ariza exit three Trevor Ariza best in these playoffs who three-point shooting for the Lakers certainly doors and Bryan and you know mark we talked about this as he shoots over Turk blue and knocks it down only we've ever seen him and this is one of the most competitive pro athletes we've ever seen I don't think we've ever seen him diss hungry-looking absolutely not you can tell he's trying to send a message to his team Fisher left wide open what today a low scoring first quarter wide open hexa three this second three-pointer of the game Lakers backup 29:26 he just turned and see Trevor Ruiz you say okay this guy realized I'm gonna get open shots without fishing for three largest lead in the first half for the Lakers Kobe Bryant wide open for truth largest lead of the first half that asks me a kick out with somebody else finding young man in contestant and shot Brian puts it in Brian quiet six points look to distribute boy in the first half he had five assists and trailed by as many as seven in that first half Bryant and that his face knocks it down he had 18 in the third quarter in Game one he's off to a quick start here in this third quarter listen that's good defense better offense Brian aggressive offensively turnaround shot in and out and in the day there he goes think about it if you're Courtney Lee you thinking ah no not again Mariza with the steal Fisher Ariza touch pass to Brian there's a fast break and a magic wand timeout but given trevor ariza credit active hands off the races sentence the basketball to the point god no charge hands it off to Kobe Bryant outstanding job of running the fast-break take notes Poland o magic tide advantage over Courtney Lee league very good defense Ryan just remarkably skilled to jump shots and then the well-executed fast-break off the magic turnover [Music] his jersey ah I think it's the white Howard we're trying to get an update ahead to the next game Brian Rosa and the third get over the top you can get deep penetration like Jameer Nelson just get Fisher good wide open three putts him in tied it in one point Laker lead fetus does a good job keeping Bryant in front of him shot-clock the two all the master put it up Abby puts it in Lamar Odom eight points here on the fourth quarter [Applause] control design and that's by design of just white how it you have to be closer to Bryan coming off that screen shot clock at six Bryant on the drive the runner looks to back at us ties the Dean and the white Howard on that has to help them make Bryant hit that out to the salt the magic to not have a foul against it comes Odom Odom brings it up hold them back out to Bryant Bryant looking Bryant driving blocked from behind by trepkos and a magic try and call timeout the buzzing sound for built put some time back on the clock it depends on how many seconds Hedo Turkoglu recovered beautifully and makes the defensive way is Bryan Ferry upset now the key how many seconds will they put back up on the clock you want it the opportunity to play Bryant one-on-one I love the fact that Turk Alou did not give up on the play Brian jab step drive puts it up shots gun shot the Lakers back up by one [Applause] Oh Baloo is doing a very good job of making client work those are tough shots fire look seek side finds Gasol to solve as the Lakers go up by five take the double-teaming it allows her clueless tickets generally Derek Fisher sticks his first shot in Fisher who had struggled shooting during the playoffs he was disappointed but it was a very tough shot like I don't think that one as Howard throws it out we're gonna call a go Tim ball on the way down Kobe Bryant will shut up nice century pass to Gasol Lewis went for the steal and got burned no people don't realize and the magic go up by one Kobe Bryant gets it to go his first shot takes the three now puts it up a three-pointer Kobe pride rattles it in it's his first two shots on the Lakers back up by four again the best in the game at controlling tempo uses his size over a well contested shot by Lee and then the three-pointer working his jab step games get some separation and knocks it in Brian 5.3 assists he'd have probably had say 40% more points because he didn't know what a layup was Jose thank you very much in China's we appreciate a new cave door of their last line from the field make this shooting pretty well themselves early Brian gets it sucked out pretty funny if you're the Atlanta magic in that situation help has to come quick you cannot allow Kobe Bryant to play one-on-one on the Block Louis that's it all good look Ryan's gets it back with nine on the clock missing for two trying double-team knocks it down and falls down afterwards with Kobe Bryant bus is kind those are impossible plays Brian poor on the shot clock line drive again Kobe Bryant lethal early six of seven you do not want to break your defense early and over help and over double-team that's a fade away from deep - and then here going to his right into the pull-up the only thing I would say to Beatrice and the magic if you could influence him a little bit more to his left so that his shooting hand is closer to your contest that gives you maybe even a little bit of better chance one-on-one shot clock winding down and a foul and it's good Bryant nails the three he just went for the fake and him and a chance for a four-point play mark wonder let go is going to talk to Joe Crawford about the clock not about whether he's behind the three it is just amazing just wanted him to make better decisions since the shot clock down to five Kobe Bryant again nails the three he's got 20 points in 14 minutes and when he's knocking down shots like this you have to force all the guys the beaches he is in an absolute zone the NBA Finals from Orlando Lakers upon the first two in LA go rest a one-point lead is Bryant five Gasol's fourth assist for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers back up by one this guy's a pro can't answer that also isolation one dribble pull-up the guy has the package on the offensive end good job of selling the shot fake knocking down to three and the foul hand down man down Kobe Bryant put on an absolute 20 in that first half Laker defense the first two games was very strong Lakers crushed the magic in Game one by fourteen one of the real keys to the 25 point win with salt rolls spins turnaround shot is good that's a seven footers in the hall and eight turnovers for land Oh much better than Game two when they talked to us 20 times Ariza knocks down the three he is turning into an excellent three-point shooter we shots in a row all game we're still at 65% as Brian nails that oughta make it a two point game if your lands will continue offensively that's a good shot the last trip by turtles six straight points and a foul on the entry pass on Bynum will send Howard to the line Fischer open three Derek Fisher knocks it down and it's a two-point game Ryan what's up and a pull-up puck sit in back to a two-point game his first points of the fourth quarter [Music] [Applause] look at houses so dried Zeleny leia thanks it in one point game with a minute and a half to play what go through the rebound Richard brings it back he puts up the three come on Bryant the rebound lays it in with five tenths of a second remaining it's a two-point game they double-team Kobe Bryant in the post they had rotation and he was still able to secure the ball for the hands at his face throws his first jumper maybe Brian Singh in city loves the challenge of the bounce-back game to him to start the game at the midway point of the first ride to the basket Drive shots good out of foul dance for the three-point play for Kobe Bryant beatriz's first he's a very good move by Bryant a missed help by Terkel ooh he's got to put his whole body in Pride only score one Gordon Bryant jackets who cares he's still wanting a triad drills it nobody buy it with his third field goal that's right in front of us vote that is an absolute tough shot for JJ Redick jump shot puts it in Wow ariza Brian a long three drills it go V prime pick shot he's got 16 and that cuts it to eight Brian's gift he's on the floor is almost like it's okay everything's gonna be all right guys Beecher's trying to define up thanks to print supply for Kobe Bryant ball goes out of bounds and it's Laker ball your lineups in that first half because of the foul difficulties that's a 2 from Fischer and puts it in and a bad job by rate for Hall TenPoint Orlando lead Brian Pitz a three and just like that it's down to seven I think the fingers okay right now the magic to me have to pick up their offensive energy they've got it he's in Turkey Leland came here on the third right seize the double-team coming Maresa goes to the open spot massive three trevor ariza three straight buckets for the lakers and it's a five-point game and Stan Van Gundy wants timeout seven footer thirteen point two in the third quarter and that's actually a found Brian leads in puts it up Hudson and top shot 4.70 Vania Jameer Nelson final seconds does not get it off in time couple of tough possessions for Nelson he's been huge nice pass to older man it floats in off the inbounds to start the fourth quarter in the Lakers with their largest lead of the game only because of Lamar Odom's foul trouble oh my goodness Kobe Bryant with Beatrice all over and he knocks it down the peaches you have to contest that's it - clearly a - that's what they triggered it with Philippine 570 finalists just picked up his fifth foul Odom has five fouls pulls up shots good then a Lakers back up by three 48 for Kobe Bryant leads him for the too short move out take a knife Fisher liquors looking to push riding spitting in the landing back for the song Freddy three point in the critical part was Beatriz jogging back gets the ball in his hands back to a reason over the Fisher Fisher looking Fisher puts up the trade ties the game Derek Fisher ties it with four points six remaining and what is Jameer Nelson thinking they're going to do aught of trying to post up down low on Lewis Kobe Bryant the drive the pull-up puts it in its back go on see when you have a guy who can go get his own shot it's got 30 go be fine pulls up it's good again back to back jumpers and a Lakers regain the lead daddy on the offensive ng itch was said an excellent job on him once again on the fourth floor the teachers here comes to double up top to fishers straight on three bucks it is Derek Fisher with another clutch three and the Lakers for 94 91 you want the cold Kobe Bryant with try to lead him by scoring 40 to 45 points the new Kobe Bryant understands the way the win this series is to get other guys involved everyone knows that the Lakers are at their best when Kobe is four but also facilitator look at the graphic he's up there with Jerry West and also the new logo as far as getting it done in the final eight plus assists outstanding job of getting his early and making play to talk about scoring we all know that he has the ability to do this anytime he wants but down the stretch he's making plays to drop off the PAL Gasol cuts it from five to three and then double team a willing passer finds up a spider geriatrician can't greasily hoping for 13 in the first quarter of Game four and that's his first field goal tonight that's a mistake by Rashard Lewis he's got to be up on the pick-and-roll and show it give him how it looks like it's hurting him appears to be okay we asked him yesterday out about motivation for tonight going you still have two games at home long time for this moment you know and I'm ready to to do it you know I want to wait um you know anything can happen injuries things of that nature so you mean you really just gotta you know you gotta opportunities try to see them that's not a good sign nobody can hear those two in terms of defendant dr3 found the other end that's a pretty good side and your Courtney Lee that's a good shot for you on the other end but you have to keep a body on Kobe Bryant that's his shot Bryant double team gets it to Bynum behind them throws it down and you buy them the most aggressive we see them here in the finals and that's Kobe Bryant once again off the pick-and-roll making plays but there's a mess Brian pretty physical to start you're letting him play here in the first quarter a lot of backing going on it's different players have already stored good balance on offense and they lead by two said his final Los Angeles Kobe Bryant and the finish the explosion at the end and again he's flexing his right hand after that play hit way through the second

fatty after is a wide-open three what's it in mana Lakers with their first lead of the game Ryan looking TT gets it to go [Applause] taeyeon Orlando series comes one of the first hits from the Lakers in our the magic response Stan Van Gundy wants to talk about it long time ago what you remember that's you you read it for the paper says Ariza hits another three knows that where the trailer a reason

This was my favourite Kobe finals - I rewatch it once a month just to feel something

[u/Hawaiistyled]

Kobe did this with torn ligaments in his finger on his shooting hand.

Fucking GOAT.
