This game brings back great memories!!! When Horry hit this shot me n my Pops went absolutely NUTS!!! It lowkey was a great bond moment between father and son.
This was when u would get smacked around and the refs wouldn't call a foul, nowadays all u have to do is just stare down the opponent and the refs call a foul
Could u imagine how dominant the 86 Celtics would have been if they would have had Jokic,hell they were already dominant anyway,in my opinion the 86 Celtics were the greatest team of all time..
I was working as a bus boy at a sports bar in San Diego and remember watching this when it happened. The entire bar LOST it!!! Great memories. Thank you Rob.
everytime these lakers got in a hole in tight games, you can see how good their defence got. Everyone was more active, faster, and challenged shots better. They could turn it on when needed.
Even watching this 22yrs later I remembered how I destroyed my voice box. I was so pumped and scary my wife left this house for 30mins...lol My beloved Lakers Magic, Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Kobe and my all time Shaq and Chick Hearn Today I have no clue who's playing
My whole apartment in Van Nuys erupted after Horry hit this 3! And then everyone was running outside cheering and hi fives all around! Damn good ol days
@@frederickjefferson2289 Yeah. Although I'd argue that had he been tossed and missed the remainder of Game 5 and in turn was not suspended for Game 6, it would have been a net negative for the Celtics. Game 6 was an eight-point loss. Games 3 and 4 in Detroit were both blowout losses, even with Parish. Game 5 was anything but a blowout. And if Parish made one more basket (or kept the Pistons from scoring one more basket) than the guy(s) replacing him had he been tossed, the Celtics lose the game and probably the series. Having him for all of Game 5 probably bought the Celtics a mulligan that they wouldn't have otherwise had.
Man I forgot how close this series and game were. The Celtics were physically outmatched. The Pistons seemed to get more open shots, whereas the Celtics seemed to have to take a lot of risky, closely-guarded shots. The good news was that those shots were on target that day!
I wouldn't say physically outmatched, Mchale,Bird and Parish were tough as nails and never got hurt were the couldn't play, now Bird was playing with a bad back, Kevin had bad knees and I think Robert was healthy overall,I have always wondered if Bird & Mchale would have actually been healthy there whole career what there overall winning percentage would be,and they would have had probably 3 more rings..
There was absolutely no team the Celtics loved to beat more than the Bad Boy Pistons: especially their thugs Laimbeer, Rodman, and Mahon. A pleasure to watch again and remember.
That's overlooking the collision between Dantley and Johnson near the end of the third quarter. Dantley left on a stretcher (didn't return) and Johnson was done about four minutes into the fourth quarter. Two very big losses.
It was the perfect storm of all the the things that went wrong after the death of Len Bias. It actually started before that with Scott Wedman suffering a career ending injury in 86 conference finals with the Bucks. The Celtics were able to adjust for the Finals but looking back Bird was a little off in the finals. After the death of Bias then Bill Walton injuries acted back up, Mchale breaking his foot later season and not playing at 100%.
Meaning the Bulls were babies that love to whine and their fans are still not looking at the Pistons history correctly . The Pistons didn’t mind showing sportsmanship after getting their butts kicked. The reason they did not shake the Bulls hands in 91 is because they were disrespectful to the Pistons by say they didn’t deserve to be champs and they were bad for basketball. The Pistons should have taken the high road but I understand the feeling of being slighted by the Bulls
@@theafroalien3169 MJ shook the Pistons hands in '89 and '90 when the Pistons beat them, so what you tryna say???? MJ said their style of basketball was bad for the NBA, and it was. There was NO EXCUSE for the Pistons not to show sportsmanship in '91. You can sugar coat it all you want, there was NO EXCUSE. The fact that Edwards, Salley, Dumars and Vinnie Johnson shook hands and congratulated the Bulls, is a further indictment on Isiah Thomas' lack of class and bad sportsmanship.
@@ILoveOldTWCYou Damn Right it shoulda been a ThreePeat! We would have gotten it had it not been for that Bullshit call on Bill Laimbeer by the Official in Game 6 of 1988 NBA Finals!
I think you need to look at the 1988 Conference Finals, they lost twice. They never were as a great as Boston…and they made Thomas look like a fool and Laimbeer was on the floor after the chief bitch slapped him was a great moment 😂😂😂
On the final play of Game 4. 17:48 First mistake by the Kings: Kobe Bryant penetrating past Doug Christie to the basket and saw Chris Webber pinching into the paint. 17:52 Grab the rebound with two hands Vlade Divac. Instead, he slapped the ball to Robert Horry who was waiting at the three-point line and nobody guarding him. 17:53 C-Webb: Oh shit! I left Big Shot Rob open. Webber got there too late and Horry got a great look to nail his patented playoff game-winning daggers. That's the same mistake Rasheed Wallace did in Game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals when Horry was a Spur against the Pistons.
Nothing compares to this game... but the regular season game the following year where Lakers came back to beat Dallas down by 30 or something like that in the 4th quarter was also unbelievably great too.
Doug Christie shoots a unneeded 3, and a contested 1 handed runner, Bobby Jackson and Mike Bibby missing critical 3s, Hedo dancing in the 1st half and joking laughing with Chris Webber. Bringing in Speedy Claxton at the wrong time, Semeke Walker hitting a 3 at the buzzer before the half to bring the lead to 24, Pedrag not Peja not hitting 3s and not getting the ball in the inbound when Lakers fouled Vlade bc he is a 60% ft shooter and Chris Webber shooting a shot with 1 second to go on the shot clock and Shaq blocking that ball in the 6th or 7th row while still in the air. 3 fouls were called on Scott Pollard that made me scratch my head and 3 fouls were called bc Shaq was too dominant and Vlade Divac is the original flopper.
Imagine if shaq was as good as Robert Horry! He wouldn't of had to skirt tail himself to championships. Thank you Kobe, Dwane for putting this clown on the map!!
