What is your favorite Lakers moment?

Question

My favorite Lakers moment was the beginning of a legend and the best point guard in the NBA. In game 5 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was injured and could not play game 6 on the road. Up 3-2 the young rookie Ervin "Magic" Johnson made a place in history. Johnson recorded 42 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and three steals. He started at Center and played guard and forward. I bet faker fans never knew that but only real Laker fans will.

Answer 1

Well I would say that my favorite Laker moment was when Derek Fisher hit the shot at 0.4 seconds against the Spurs. I'm 17 so that's the best play I've seen in my time. It was cool just to see the Spurs and their fans in shock. They just pulled off the impossible.

Answer 2

it's a toss up b/w Horry's shot and Fisher's shot, hard to pick

Answer 3

Oh man...when Game 4 of the 2006 playoffs Lakers vs. Suns....frikken Kobe show right there. I've never actually seen those kinds of buzzer beaters ever, until that day. My whole family (minus my mother) just exploded with joy. Lol too bad we lost that d**n series though.

Answer 12

Mines is on the 2008 NBA FINAL game 6 when Lakers lost in a blow-out 30+ pts...

another was game 4 when lakers Blow leads [20+ pts] and lost

Answer 13

Well since you took the single greatest performance in a finals (by Magic) I have to go with when the Lakers came back against Portland in the western Conference Finals, and Kobe drove the lane and the whole team collapsed and he dropped the greatest alley oop in the history of the game to Shaq who brought the thunder, and the Lakers went NUTS and you could just see the dejected look and the whole portland squad. Crazy!

ALso the jr jr jr jr sky hook that Magic put in over the big three in the finals bears mentioning too. Really magic has too many to mention. Like the hook shot from d**n near half court against the suns in the playoffs. Or when Magic took Isiah out in the finals. classic stuff.

Answer 14

It will be when Kobe retires.

Answer 15

Answer 16

There are so many I cant tell you just one. But the moment I look forward to is 2008-2009 season with all the players healthy. Laker's rock trick!!!

Answer 17

They were beaten by Boston in game 4.

They were leading by 20 plus points and still lose.

BTW, it's the NBA Finals.

Answer 18

I only count things I have been around for because I'm only 18.  I WISH I was around back then so I knew what it felt like. But as far as my memory goes I remember I was completely STOKED when Fisher made that shot with 0.4 seconds left after the Spurs were already basically celebrating. Too bad we didn't win that series...
