Every Laker player played hard

Pau’s impact wasn’t gonna always have big numbers but he was good at a bunch of things all in one where it left a big impact on the game.
57-53 at the start of the 4th is craaaaazy
Ben Taylor is the best! we need these more fully in depth play by play. Maybe even a livestream to watch as an alternative to the regular boroadcast.
Oh for a second I thought it was THAT Ben Taylor that Fred VanVleet cussed out 😂😂
Remember when Kobe and pau tried to threepeat in 11 in a lockout shorten season and they fell flat on their faces.
From Dreams to nightmares!
Give Ben a featured series on national TV and you make the next generation of players better
This is a great vlog. All the "small" things to those that don't know how to appreciate basketball were done by the Lakers in this deciding game 7 between two teams that have historically been at war. Winning a game ofc requires you to have more points when that final buzzer goes off but the way you end up with more points is something a lot do not understand nor appreciate. This game was a gut check. The refs let them beat the shit out of each other. Credit to Gasol for his growth in toughness from the 08' Finals onto this 2010 Finals win. The obvious focal point in this series compared to the 08' Finals is the Defense. Kobe instilled that toughness in Pau evidenced in the 2010 win.
Boston Celtics were bested.sweet revenge for the loss of 08. Panick gripped me since the Celtics are reknown for their grittiness
What a lot of people won’t talk about is how Kobe STILL heavily impacted the game even when he was having an off shooting night, what Kobe did along with Pau Gasol on the glass getting 15+ boards was absolutely huge for the Lakers, also what Kobe brought on the defensive end with his defensive intensity and lockdown ability, he also made the correct reads every time a double team came or when he saw Pau cutting to the rim he found him setting him up perfectly, it’s the little things that a player can still do to impact the game enough when you’re not having the best scoring/shooting game, and THATS what separates greats, legends from everyone else.
if any team plays defense like this in todays nba they will literally have an undefeated season
At 2:47 gasol travelled. Refs missed it ofc.
Pau arguably should've been the MVP of that Finals
