Yeah I remember this game very well. It is actually one of my favorite Lakers games. What I really liked about it is the suspense that came with it. It was game 7. You lose, you go home, and this was against a stacked Portland team that could could even win it all. The season was on the line but Shaq and Kobe delivered in a magical way, making it even merrier. That was a hell of a game.
I was in a hospital room with my son and his wife who was expecting my first grandson to be born in about a month. Beth had just gone in for an emergency issue and we were watching the game on the TV in the hospital room without the sound on so as not to bother Beth. When Kobe made that pass to Shaq for that dunk, my son and I exploded in cheers. Never forget that game. One month later my son was born. Nick is a die hard Lakers fan even though his dad became a Warriors fan.
Tom, that game coincided with my younger son’s one year anniversary. This game happened with the whole house watching. It was full of Laker fans. You would think the house was going to collapse due to the magnitude of the celebration. That was an unforgettable day.
