Your Top 5 Most Memorable Moments in Lakers History
What are your top 5 (In Game) moments in lakers History?
Here are mine.
1)Kobe to shaq alley-oop (2000)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLOMEmRQ40U[/youtube]
I was young when this game happened and this play always brings back nostalgia
2)Magic Skyhook (1987)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUCum1y8Kg[/youtube]
I was not alive for this game, but i have seen it several times and the sky hook over McHale and parish is just beautiful.
3)Big Shot Bob against game winner vs the Sac Queens (2002)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYQDsZljAOY[/youtube]
A game that was competitive from top to finish and the game winner sealed the deal
4)Magic NBA Finals Game 6 Performance (1980)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYNDWaEmqto[/youtube]
Another one that I have watched several times. The rookie Magic taking over the game and clinching the finals.
5)81 Points (2006)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7P4SVFG7a8[/youtube]
Kobe at his best and worst, but one of the greatest scoring performances of all time.
Honorable mention:Kobe Suns playoff game winner 2006

Bone chilling is a perfect way to describe it. I remeber just being stunned. Sampson just flicked the ball up toward the basket, almost a backward shot, and the dang thing bounced a couple of times and then fell through the net.
I also remeber Coop just collapsing and the silence you could feel to your core.
Deep, I love that you mentioned going to the game with your dad.
I took my dad to a few games before he passed in 2008. Those were just regular season games, but the memories will last with me forever.
