I saw that on Sportscenter this morning. Sick indeed. That might be up there with Jordan's switching hands shot.
Does anybody have any video? ESPN's isn't working, NBA.com requires some subscription crap, and SI doesn't have it...I guess I need to learn the secret handshake or something...
i liked the one on latrell better. this didn't seem to have the same distance, though it was still awesome.
The difference is that everything Kobe did was actually necessary to get the ball in the hole. If you watch the clip of Jordan closely, he could have just layed it in straight up. Every time I see that clip I wonder to myself why he even bothered with the theatrics.
That's probably because there is only one angle shown. He had D coming he switched to be free. Interesting point -- great, all time shot, right? AC Green quickly took the ball out of the net, inbounded, and Lakes were flying downcourt unperturbed. I still think a healthy Worthy and the series could have gone Lakes' way.
Really? This one looked better because his head almost glazed underneath the backboard, and he dunk it over two seven footers. I didn't think it was that spectacular until they replayed it about three or four times. Yeah, I'm one of those delayed reaction guys. I'm still talking about scoop pass to Francis.
Sorry about that. That first link was messed up. This should work and it has better angles: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~crockett/kobe6a.wmv
