Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings
I was actually thinking of leaving in the second quarter, but then I decided to stay . . .
Robert Horry's three . . . The place just went CRAZY!!
that's the best part.
people were leaving with about 10 seconds left, to beat the traffic. those fairweather fans miss the most shots
no, i dont think 10 seconds left, because i distinctly remember, there was 11.8 seconds left on the clock when the play started
I think the score was 98-95 with 26 seconds left when Shaq went to the line . . .
The whole place was praying, even the ATHEISTS! :Q My heart felt so heavy (it feels heavy RIGHT NOW typing this up)
Fortunately, Shaq made both, making the score 98-97
Then with 11.8 left, someone fouled Vlade Divac and he went to the line and MISSED THE FIRST ONE
He made the second and it was 99-97 Kings
Okay, timeout . . .
I had to sit down because my heart was like . . . weighing me down
Okay, so play starts . . .
Kobe gets the ball, takes it to the top of the 3, then with about 7 remaining, drives to the right against Doug Christie, and throws up a layup . . .
Hits the backboard, but too long . . . I started crying, but I then I see Shaq on the other side of the basket . . .
He misses the putback . . . now, I REALLY started crying . . .
My heart was crushed when Divac batted the ball out, cause I thought it was Game Over
But then I see Robert Horry and I glance at the clock . . . 1.7 . . .
He catches it, throws it up . . .
It literally HUNG there for an HOUR
I remember screaming at the top of my lungs, "MAKE IT!!"
And it went in
EDIT: i downloaded the vidcap a few years ago, anyone want to host it?
