Rafer Alston on Scoring 20 Points Against Kobe Bryant in the NBA Finals (Part 10) 

Rafers run with Orlando was the most successful, they reached the finals and if you remember Rafer was starter as Jameer Nelson got injured in the finals. Rafer actually filled in better as starting PG and helped Orlando win their first ever finals game.

Been loving this interview, I used to love And1

Sleep well Kobe Bryant ‼️🙏🏼😢💜💛 Happy birthday King ‼️💯

His wisdom is out of this world.

And 1 mixtape vol 3 is a timeless classic!

Do you know how much class that takes…in any era? I was a fan when he was with the Rockets, but he just kinda sealed that up…much respect!

Courtney Lee literally blew that wide open lapup

Solid interview RA! Definitely a team player not a me guy. Respect 💯

Gotta respect the legend!!skip to my lou 💯

Kids these days will never about those And1 mixtapes from volume 1 all the way to the end💯 R.I.P. Black Widow aka Alamo

Magic’s fucked up bringing Jameer back in ...skip had the flow

Bro listening to Rafer's perspective on things is inspiring. No wonder he went that far in his career. Props.❤

“It’s FCKN TREEEE-WAYYYYY!” (I know I’m not the only one who think he looks like Shotti) 🤣

I remember watching this series. I was a freshman in HS.. I think Alston being modest honestly. Anybody remember that series knows his minutes shouldn't have been cut.

Notice he said “all star point guard.” That’s something ppl forget when they casually brush past Kobe’s 2009-2010 championships. The Magic had 3 all stars that year including the DPOY.

That Orlando squad was full of sharp shooters, kinda underrated.

That miss by Courtney Lee at the buzzer changed the whole series. As a Laker fan, I was scared then relieved.

Vlad be blowing me with these titles. Just say he had 20 points in an NBA final games. He didn't drop 20 on Kobe like.... Come on bruh. Kobe passed and this a clout chasing ass title. Smh. Dude dont even mind using our dead role models to get some clicks. Really foul.

Stick with working chemistry. The finals ain't the place to find ur rhythm. Find it in the following pre season. Aint like Jameer a hall of famer.

Skip is a good hearted dude

He has a great heart..

My man Derek Fisher sure wishes he was 6’3 😂😂

Good to see you doing well Skip!

Putting Jameer Nelson in the game took the momentum away from the Magic, the whole game changed.

I wish they would bring and1 back I had the video game my dude made every tour when I played

Skip, Alimoe, Headache,AO,Main Event The Original Fantastic 5

Rafer Alston is shotti good twin 😂😂😂😂😂😂

basketball rhythm is errthing! try to get that feeling again🥺

In 34 and I still do the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 countdown shots in the gym.🤣

Rafer a good dude 💯💯💯

When they started to play jameer Nelson when he wasn't ready after his injury and took away his minutes is one of the reasons why the Orlando lost at the Lakers, really talk 💯. Everybody workd the Lakers at the guard position and those days

that missed courtney lee layup took the wind right out of me during that series. i wanted skip to get a W so bad. he hooped his ass off the whole playoffs.

SALUTE Rafer Alston ✌🏾✌🏻💓💯

And1 mixtapes were constant rewind in my VCR

Rafer was a hooper

1:25 This would’ve been a good time Vlad to interrupt like usual and say Happy Birthday too 😒

I remember that game because nobody thought jameer was going to play but looking back, in hindsight I would’ve played skip more because he was in rhythm and jameer hadn’t played in so long

A Real 1

The guy is a walking basketball legend

I went to Game 1 of that series

he messed up the Chemistry when they forced Nelson back

Can’t believe he didn’t mention the tallest player we (Lakers had) Andrew Bynum 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Til this day idk why Stan took Rafer out for Jameer I understand he was the starting guard but Skip carried us to the finals then you just take that man out smfh

Other than Shotti, he look like CJ from San Andreas too.

20 points on Derek fisher you mean.

Alston was a legit NBA point guard. His FG% was suboptimal but homeboy will give you buckets.

PROPS TO SKIP wishing the great KOBE BRYANT on his birthday. And also holding down VAN GUNDY for his decision. Even if SKIP plays the majority of the mins, LAKERS winning.

Shottie's good twin 😂

Winner mentality there

Stan Van is a Micro Manager

Rafer was Killin in the series....but them starting Nelson over him was their downfall

Rafer look like he can make a mean 🌭 and 🍔 LOL 😁

the next year Orlando was strong too

When they chose to put jamir Nelson ass back into the starting line up that's what ruined the Magic's chances

Earl Sweatshirt cleaned up, salute to the OG.

As I get older I realize teams do not really want to win

20 points bro

Lol I always thought Derek fisher was small. But he was just short compared to the mob squad the lakers had at the time.

Joe hammond next would be cool

He could make a good jr high school coach

If u didn't kno dude u would never guess he played ina NBA

Howard eventually won and might win again this year.

Game 3, Rafer sat down and Skip showed up. Magic messed up starting Nelson.

It wasn’t on Kobe!!!!! It was on the Lakers!!! Kobe wasn’t guarding him!!! SMDH

Andrew Buyum lock Dwight Howard up in that finals.

That change up messed y’all up tho … Nelson shoulda came off the bench

Derrick Fisher was 6'1 not 6'3

Bad Coaching Blew Orlando When It Counted The Most

rafer alston comebto philippines we want you as import if you dont mind

Nothing but LOVE AND RESPECT for Rafer , And j nelson , but FUCK THAT ...THEY SHOULD OF KEPT U STARTING bro REAL TALK I remember that NBA FINALS .,SKIP was doing his THING I WAS SO HAPPY FOR HIM MAN , HE WAS KILLING SHIT...and when they took him out and put jamerr back shit went left....one THING ABOUT RAFER ALSTON no MATTER TEAM HE PLAYED FOR HE ALWAYS REPRESENTED AND DID HIS THING...IMA PROUD FAN... RT SALUE KING BE BLESSED

Trying to figure out who lies more Gianni Russo, John Salley or Skip

NBA STREET lol

HOW IS SKIP NOT IN THE BIG 3 LEAGUE!?!?

Lol

Andrew Bynum played center

close your eyes and you will think cashnasty is talking

Huge of Raefer to say those things, but it was a huge mistake, period. I was so upset, and I wasn't even a Magic fan.

Dey should’ve put his minutes down

Skip bugging...he was hooping, that j. Nelson adjustment threw of the whole team rhythm.

Skip to my Lou, respect sir. Very humble dude.

Kobe was on some really good teams not knocking his greatness but he had a lot of help and decoys

Derick fisher is not 6’3….

*6'6

No I am not hearing that I heard that it was Dwight Howard and his Teammates that asked him to be more Skip2MyLou in the game he won you can correct me if I am wrong but that was what I heard at the time when that game was over. You can play nice all you want now but that move to bring Jameer back in the game when he just came back from an injury is insane. You can go look at the game Jameer wasn’t even himself he couldn’t even guard anyone plus on the offensive side he did nothing. From my eye when I saw that game and Rafer was on the bench he didn’t look too happy in my opinion you go look up the game and watch his body language he ain’t happy. I don’t hate Jameer but he was a liability when he came back he should have come of the bench for the series when coming back from the injury he had.

Me Rafer and his brother Ramar went to school together. I remember when we met, I had no idea that this skinny kid who was an inch shorter than me at 15 was one of the greatest basketball players in the world. 💪🏾🏀❤️

I’m a magic fan putting Jamier back in game killed magic

Lmao I knew Lakers were gonna win but I DID want Skip 2 go off the whole series and be more respected in the league.

Why jameer ?

Vlad is the POLICE!!!👮‍♂️

Fisher ain’t no damn 6’3 🤣🤣🤣

Jameer had back 2 back TO’s…SMH

Much respect to skip but that orlando team had no hope against my lakers that yr

Never heard vlad so quite

Kobe really was 6'6 ....6'7 Afro Kobe lol yea but Cleveland would have been in that Finals against LAL if not for LeBron tearing his Hamstring early in the series against Orlando but he went on to average 38/8/8/1/1 on 49% and the entire 6 game series was decided by 37 points so if not for that injury on Bron,we see Kobe vs Bron Finals with Kobe beating King in 6 games due to James' lack of decent teammates compared to Kobe's supporting cast

SVG definitely fucked them by trying to insert Nelson. Doubt they would have won, but it would have been 4-2 or even 4-3 if they stayed with the lineup that got them there. Dude was out way too long to seriously consider giving him minutes

That's a stupid question, how it was like to get there and not win it. Just ask how it was like to get there.

😒Skip, stop the 🧢..u were supposed 2 play more, not saying y'all wud've won, but I say it wud've went to 7 games...Jameer comin bak fukt up the flow! Carfax!

Vlad don’t know shit Jameer was the starter got injured and rafer filled in

Caaaaaaappppppppp
