Kobe still hadn't reached his prime. Still fun to watch him play before Phil Jackson arrived the following season. RIP Kobe Bryant.

1. Prime Shaq was a BEAST. He barely tapped Antoine Carr and about took his arm off, and Carr was a big strong dude. 2. People forget how good Glenn Rice was. 3. The Lakers had basically the same team that won the championship the next year but they were swept by the Spurs in the next round. Imagine how good they could've been in 99 with any coach other than Kurt Rambis.

Great upload, as usual. These games just remind me how there was levels to team greatness. The Lakers passed the test against the vet Rockets, but even with all that talent the Spurs and Jazz still had the maturity and skill to overcome them. When a team got over the hump back in the day, you appreciated what they had to go through to get there.

This game killed the Rockets. Had they won this game they probably have a better chance to win the series. But after this game the Lakers youth, speed and power was just too much for the old aging Rockets to handle. This game was the killer for Houston.

What hurt Barkley was that he was out of shape. You could see it starting around the 1995 playoffs. He was still good even though he gained the weight. Especially during the 1997 playoffs. If he had gotten in shape, he would have won a championship. He was hurt a lot as well when he was out of shape. I believe he had 34 rebounds in games 3 or 4 in this series. That is phenomenal considering being out of shape, playing against prime Shap, and at his age. He was also hitting shots as well. If he would had dropped the weight, nobody could have stopped him.
