Kobe Bryant在2020年毫無懸念地入選籃球名人堂,昨天早上在某個湖人社團就分享了他與Shaq攜手拿下的第一個冠軍的回顧,那是1999-2000球季湖人與溜馬的冠軍系列戰,這個系列戰開打前,Kobe就等不及要給溜馬的替補中鋒Sam Perkins一點顏色看看,曾效力與George Karl麾下的Perkins跟Kobe有過一些不快 ,大致來說就是前輩倚老賣老說這個年輕人還未夠班之類的,其實當時聯盟裡這樣不友善的聲音不在少數,會讓Kobe這麼放不下,主要還是來自北卡大,或是說Michael Jordan的情結
眾所皆知的,如果沒有跳進NBA,Kobe這個名滿全國的高中生應該會成為杜克藍魔的一員,偏偏與他球風最像的的,就是跟Kobe用同一個藍圖及模板打造出來的前輩-同時也是偶像的Michael Jordan-是來自同州的宿敵北卡,Kobe對北卡出身的球員有些複雜的情結不說,那個梁子主要來自1998年的明星賽,以當時史上最年輕先發球員身份出賽的Kobe一上場在恣意地向聯盟展現他的天賦,幾個高水準的動作昭告天下他已經準備好接管這個籃球世界的最高殿堂,之後,就沒有之後了,一開賽威風八面的Kobe之後就在板凳上度過了大多數的時間,Kobe一直認為就是當時西區明星隊教練George Karl在搞鬼,他認為同為北卡出來的Karl教練不想讓那風頭蓋過北卡校友Michael Jordan,從此這個心結就留下了,而一樣是校友,跟Karl教練有賓主之誼,還跟MJ同期,又大嘴巴的Sam Perkins怎麼能放過?
不過因為幾乎已經是屆退之齡的Sam Perkins上場時間不多,Kobe Bryant又在系列戰中扭傷了腳踝,兩人根本同場較技的機會不多就是

A stunning fourth-quarter comeback led by Allen Iverson. A thrilling final-minute shootout between Stephon Marbury and Kobe Bryant.
The ball in Bryant's hands for the last shot. A pass that no one expected. A last-second miss. A postgame celebration worthy of June.
Yes, it was quite an All-Star Game.
Iverson, Marbury and his Eastern Conference teammates transformed what looked like a blowout loss into an improbable 111-110 victory Sunday in a performance fitting of the 50th anniversary of the game.
"It was like a championship game out there," Dikembe Mutombo said. "I've been in the All-Star Game the last seven years, and I've never seen anything like this."
It was the kind of game that might stop people dismissing the East as far weaker than the West, the kind of game that might make the casual fan appreciate the heart and determination of some of the younger stars trying to seize the spotlight in the post-Jordan era.
Mostly, it was kind of game that any fan of any sport would prefer to see — a riveting one.
Iverson scored 15 of his 25 points in the final nine minutes, and Marbury hit two three-pointers in the final 53 seconds as the East came back from a 21-point deficit.
Bryant, the NBA's leading scorer, could have taken the last shot. Instead, in a shock to everyone sitting in the building and watching on television, he threw a pass that resulted in a last-second miss by Tim Duncan.
"Everybody was saying we couldn't win because of our size. It's not about size. It's about the size of your heart," Iverson said. "Coming into the fourth quarter, we were all sitting on the sidelines saying 'Why not us? Why can't we be the ones to come back from a 19-point deficit (after three quarters) in an All-Star Game?"
Turns out they could.
While presenting the MVP award to Iverson, NBA Commissioner David Stern, with a sly grin on his face, told Iverson that great basketball "can be wrapped — if you pardon the expression — in very small packages."
The comment was a clever reference to Iverson's height -- he is an inch or two shy of 6 feet -- and Iverson's rap album, which was criticized for its lyrics and led to a meeting with the commissioner.
Iverson, who starred collegiately in this city at Georgetown and had a large contingent of family and friends in the arena, presented his MVP trophy to his mother.
"My family, my friends, everybody that's been with me through my struggles and pain knows it's a tribute," Iverson said. "I think it's going to be beautiful for years to come because every year it seems like we get somebody else with a different kind of God-given ability to add to this league."
The East trailed 95-74 with nine minutes left after the West dominated the first 39 minutes behind its superior size. It appeared the game would come out looking like a mismatch that would back up all the Western Conference superiority theories that have been thrown around so frequently this season.
But the East started pecking away, and Iverson walked over to the scorer's table during a timeout and asked if anyone wanted to wager whether the East would make a comeback.
That's exactly what the East proceeded to do, with Jerry Stackhouse and Vince Carter making three-point shots that were followed by a three-point play by Iverson to cut the West's lead to 100-96.
Iverson scored the East's next two points from the line, and Tracy McGrady tied it on a putback with 3:10 left.
"We had every reason to make this like a regular All-Star Game and lay down and stop playing, and it didn't happen," East coach Larry Brown said. "I had no idea we could come from behind. It was a wonderful ending for us."
Iverson scored the East's next five points, and a chant of "M-V-P! M-V-P!" was heard after his two foul shots gave the East a 105-104 lead.
But that chant might have revved up someone else, instead.
Someone named Bryant.
In a down-the-stretch performance reminiscent of his play in the Lakers' Game 4 overtime victory over Indiana in last year's NBA Finals, Bryant kept getting the ball and putting it in the basket.

Allen Iverson got the final shot in his shootout with Carmelo Anthony.
Iverson scored 36 points, including the game-winning basket, and the Philadelphia 76ers overcame Anthony's career-high 45 to beat the Denver Nuggets 108-106 on Tuesday night.
Chris Webber added 32 points and 15 rebounds, none bigger than the one in the final minute that set up Iverson's winning shot.
After Webber grabbed Earl Watson's miss from long range, the Sixers called a timeout with 21 seconds left. Iverson took the inbounds pass and stalled at midcourt until driving on Andre Miller, then pulling up and sinking the basket from the top of the key with 4.2 seconds remaining.
"I was surprised that they just let me wind the clock down and take a shot," Iverson said. "I told my teammates that I was going to wind it down. ... I was hoping if I did miss, the ball would bounce and the time would run out."
Miller insisted he wanted Iverson, who was hobbled by a sprained ankle he twisted in the third quarter, to take a jump shot rather than drive to the basket.
"I got a hand up on the shot. He knocked the shot down. It was a good play," Miller said.
The 76ers, on the other hand, weren't about to let Anthony get a good look at the end.
"You don't want somebody shooting that had been making a lot of shots," Iverson said.
So, after two timeouts, Anthony took the inbounds but couldn't get a good look with Andre Iguodala and Webber in his face, so he dished to Watson, whose open 3-pointer was short, bouncing off the rim at the buzzer.
"There was no way I could have taken the final shot tonight," Anthony said. "They had three people right there, and Earl Watson was wide open."
For the second time in the final 28 seconds, no less.
"Great player made a shot; we missed two wide-open 3s," Denver coach George Karl lamented when asked to sum up the final possessions.
Iverson sprained his right ankle five minutes into the second half. He was taped up and stayed but had to alter his game a little.
"I was struggling," Iverson said. "I couldn't really go to the basket as quick as I wanted to. When I did it was real painful."
The 76ers' already big height advantage was augmented when Kenyon Martin (thigh) couldn't go and Marcus Camby (finger) sat out the final 42 minutes. With Nene (knee) out for the year, all three of the Nuggets' big men were out.
"It is getting old," Anthony said. "I hope we have everybody out there as soon as possible. Playing with a 6-4 lineup is tough."
The one thing Karl was worried about with his small lineup was rebounding, and the 76ers outrebounded them 46-35.
"And it wasn't necessarily because they were bigger. I just think, sometimes our rebounding habits we rely so much on Marcus that we forget about doing our responsibilities," Karl said. "It's usually better to watch film than make that criticism, but I thought there were some balls that bounced on the ground."
Anthony, whose previous career high was 42 on Dec. 13 at Charlotte, scored 19 points in the third quarter, which ended in an 80-80 tie. But while he was catching his breath on the bench, the 76ers swished three straight 3s, two of them by Kyle Korver, and Philadelphia took a 91-87 lead with 7:44 remaining.
"I was a little disturbed if we were playing small why we should give up 3s," Karl said. "And their gas tank was probably a little fuller than ours and that probably showed up in the way the ball bounced in loose-ball situations."
Anthony returned and jammed his right wrist when Samuel Dalembert fouled him on his follow-through. Anthony shook it off to sink all three free throws and then put Denver ahead 94-93 with a drive to the basket 30 seconds later.
His breakaway basket with 3:56 left gave him 43 points and put Denver ahead 98-93 before the 76ers rallied behind Iverson and Anthony went the final 3:05 without any more points.
"The man had a fantastic game, it's just a shame he didn't get rewarded with a win," Karl said. "His efficiency was great. I think what you saw tonight is when he makes his jump shot, he's pretty difficult, maybe impossible, to cover by one guy."
Something the Sixers discovered just in time.
Game notes
Anthony said he'll need treatment on his right wrist Wednesday. ... Denver is 17-5 without Martin in the lineup over the last two seasons.
