My favorite Celtics/Lakers game with Kobe was the one in 2001 or 2002 at Staples Center when Antoine Walker hit that crazy leaning bank shot 3 pointer, and then Kobe hit the game winner at the other end and the refs waved it off and the crowd went livid....i remember that just being an amazing game

@ergoat 4 года назад

I remember that game started late on the west coast, so it ended up finishing (in the spectacular fashion you described) at around 2:30AM Eastern. Underrated fun Celtic team that year (that would have made a better showing in the Finals vs the Lakers than the Nets did). And since this is about Kobe, as a Celtics fan I had to respect all the times he made me feel uncomfortable with the game on the line and the ball was in his hands, because odds were he was going to win it.

This is why I love being from Boston and still consider it my home (even after moving away 4 years ago). We get as competitive as any sport fans can get, even to the point of being 'rude' and crazy. However, we appreciate talent and greatness. I remember the ovation we gave to Derek Jeter on his last game at Fenway. Even as Laker's biggest rivals, we appreciate Kobe for what he has accomplished individually and for the game of basketball. Thank again from a Boston sports fan!

This incredible gesture from the Celtics organization was truly moving and it reminds us that in basketball, you can only be great if you have great opponents. Lastly, this tribute is a reminder of how precious and tenuous life really is.
