NBA On NBC - Eddie Jones (Playoff Career High 32 pts!) Battles Gary Payton In LA! 1998 WCSF G4 

Shaq has a habit of getting exposed by dominant big men

@@andresdelportillo9917 The Jazz big man was Ostertag not exactly an all timer

perfect example of the immaturity they displayed through the mid-to-late-90s until Phil Jackson came

@@oliverqueen444 Very True. Lakers had absolutely no accountability or leadership in their locker room back then. Del Harris could never effectively command respect from his players the way Phil Jackson did.

@@chrisuncleahmadit’s was ostertag with Karl Malone help defense. That lakers team was not so good at that time. Kobe was not developed

Well they didn’t have Phil Jackson yet and Del Harris wasn’t the right coach

Most embarrassing playoff loss ive ever seen. The Lakers had too much talent to go out like chumps. Especially vs that utah team that was almost eliminated by 8th seeded injury riddled Houston in the opening round!

@@FuShengAlex Utah had practically no talent outside of 2 players. But the pace was so slow it favored older teams

They got swept in 99 by sophomore timmy

@@andresdelportillo9917 the 99 Lakers were not as good as the 98 Lakers

Still pisses me off till this day. I was a big time Sonics fan

@@Armando316 idk how the Sonics got destroyed like that 4 straight games. They were rolling going into the playoffs. Vin Baker was on another level that year

And that allowed Kobe to take off and be the best player he was

They still should have gotten a better return then…… Glen Rice

@@chrisuncleahmad George Shinn messed up big time and he chose not to resign Vlade and decided to go with Coleman because he was cheaper and ask for the Hornets they were not able to extend Rice’s contract But the hornets let a lot of star players go in either trades or free agency from mainly not paying market value

@@tylerriley2587 I understand why they traded Eddie. But they still should have gotten a better return

Should've never allowed Van Exel to go
