NBA: Lakers vs. Thunder

Now I'm not a huge Lakers fan, and I'm for sure not a big Kobe Bryant fan, but after seeing him make a shot like this, even I have to give the man some credit.

Nice video, and from 1986 at that.

I wonder if Kobe ever saw that footage.

Was it legal then? Because in the news story about Kobe's shot, they say something about the rules changing lately so it's now legal.

Wade at his best

Yeah, it didn't count. You can see the ref waving his arms. A ridiculous rule because it touches nothing but net...
