[Blast from the past] Rafer Alston lights up the Lakers

once the dark horse for the allstar game

 

harris, battier, alston, hayes......is that realy who mcgrady had....wow...

 

Good ol game 22.


Kobe wanted to end the streak, and played it off like it didn't matter.

 

lol, ends on a missed free throw.

 

I remember Vujacic getting mad at Rafer and fouling him out of frustration at the end of this game.:grin:

 

harris, battier, alston, hayes.... and all they got was mcgrady? wow.. they deserve better

 

I was at that game. Will never forget how special it felt.

 

One of my favorite moments was when Rafer threw his fist in the air after that douche fouled him....

Just an epic win.

 

Does anybody here have the my20 footage of this game ?? I have been looking for it every since it aired in 2008. Mark Jackson's commentary kills that game for me, there's also not much excitement from JVG or the other guy. I bet Worrell, Drexler and Bullard were going nuts and interviewed some1 afterwards right ? Please somebody upload this if they have it, maybe even pre-game footage and post game interviews ?

 

That day will always be a bittersweet memory for me.

My Longhorns lost to Memphis in the NCAA Tournament just one game away from the Final Four. My Rockets pulled off their 22nd straight victory. But I had to stay home from college for a few more days because my grandmother had just passed away.

Still, even through that tough time I was still incredibly excited about the Rockets knocking off the Lakers and officially becoming the #1 seed in the Western Conference.

I got to go to game #18 of that streak and it was one of the best events I've ever been to. I didn't sit down the entire time, and the whole arena was going insane the entire time. It was special.
