 Awesome DVD! If you're a laker fan, BUY IT November 10, 2005

The lakers are the best team of all time in the NBA. That is evident in the way they play. This dvd is worth every single penny spent on it... My former girlfriends kids destroyed it one day. I was so mad. I said, "Did you know that was my favorite dvd?" She told me that she would buy me another one but never did. Did not like it when I wore my Kobe Bryant jersey. Why would she buy me another disc? I'm gonna buy another one next month when I get paid and nothing is going to happen to this one!
Anyway, to the dvd: It has great interviews with Robert Horry about his game winning buzzer beater against the Portland Trailblazers in game 3 of the NBA playoffs in 2002. Great highlights of all playoff games are included and the miraculous buzzer beater shot by Robert Horry against the Sacremento Kings was unbelievable! I remember that game very clearly. I was over at my best friends house watching the game and he thought they were going to lose. I kind of did too, but I felt confident that they would pull off a win.
I told him, "The game is not over yet. Anything can happen." When that ball left Robert Horrys hands with one tenth of a second left on the clock, I knew that shot was going in. I jumped up, raised my arms, and was shouting my head off so loud you could have heard me down the block. I can see now why Tim Duncan calls him "big shot bob." I mean who in the hell can hit a shot like that? The people who knock the lakers, don't what they are talking about. If people say the lakers suck, then why are they considered one of the greatest NBA teams of all time?
Don't knock a team of this caliber until you see all of their achievements over the years and then maybe you'll learn to appreciate a good team when you see it.
Great Retrospective December 5, 2004

Regardless of what "Laker-haters" may think, this team was an incredible dynasty. Even when it seemed they were on the ropes, someone always stepped up (i.e.-Robert Horry). Jason Kidd was the true 2002 MVP, but the Lakers are still the champions. Sacramento may be upset, but it's their fault. They were challenging, but who won Game 7 of the Western Finals, on the road, in overtime? Kobe and Shaq was a 1-2 punch that was unstoppable. Even though the dynasty is over, they rank as one of the best teams of all time. This is a great DVD because of the inside footage, as well as the extras. Definitely a 10 in my book.
 NBA = 2 Stars Lakers = 0 Likeable Stars September 25, 2003

I respect that the NBA produces these "best of" videos for championship teams. This one is as shoddily produced and quickly knocked off as any of them. However, has there ever been a championship team as smug and unlikeable as the Lakers? Probably not. If you enjoy watching smirking millionaires bathe their egos at the alter of their league-office mandated success go ahead and buy this video. If you actually like sports with real meaning, go watch your local high school basketball team.

 Three Years... No Improvement November 20, 2002

Three years, no improvement. No, not the Lakers, I'm talking about this horrible NBA Finals package. I own the DVD of the first Championship title of 1999-2000, and I am sad to say that their has been virtually no improvement in the quality of this product.Most noticeable to those like me who have the other DVD will immediately notice that they have "recycled" some of the bad keyboard music featured before. Also, at barely 60 mins, they are still doing a VHS-to-DVD conversion, which is frustrating considering that you could cram 3, maybe 4 hours of Lakers footage on the DVD format. The Western Conference Finals vs. Sacramento is the sole reason I bought the DVD. For the third year in a row, the Conference Finals were acknowledged by everyone as the true NBA Finals, yet the people behind this product do a shabby job of covering the finals and focusing instead on the boring NBA Finals vs. New Jersey Nets. I could really do without the wacked-out Nets fans: the psycho guy with the veins bulging out of his neck and face screaming "NO THREE-PEAT TONIGHT LAKERS! NO THREE-PEAT TONIGHT!" or the moron with the red wig and stockings on his arms chanting "N-E-T-S, NETS, NETS, NETS!", or even the sight of that guy who jumps up into the camera wearing that HORRIFIC green sweater. There is about 30 minutes of this nonsense, and I actually sat through it hoping to see something that would make me happy I bought this DVD. Getting back to the Sacramento series. So much is cut out! First of all, NO MENTION of Kobe Bryant's food poisoning between games 1 and 2. NO MENTION that Shaq is hobbling around after the games from the pain in his foot. The trash talk, one of the highlights of the rivalry, only occurs during one quick scene between Robert Horry and Vlade Divac over the game-winning 3. Those 20 seconds of Robert Horry manage to make the DVD worth buying, though. Speaking of Horry, one thing I really liked about this DVD that isn't in the other one is that they play the 2 big game-winning Horry shots (against Portland and Sacramento) in real-time as they were broadcast by NBC. What sort of messes this up for me is that they dub the ESPN announcers over the NBC footage, which is annoying because I HATE THE ESPN ANNOUNCERS! It's obvious the guy (sorry, forgot his name) hates the Lakers! Pay attention to the sound bytes and you will notice he is always rooting for the other team. Example, Lakers down big in game 4, and he starts comparing the Kings beating the Lakers to the Michael Jordan Bulls beating the Detroit Pistons way back in the early 90's. The Kings are no Bulls, not in a million years, but they are full of Bull(you-know-what). Please, if the people who make these DVDs are reading this, try to take advantage of the DVD format. Make the program longer, add better special features (sorry, but Samake Walker and Brian Shaw fishing? ZZZ) and put the emphasis on the Conference Finals, because the Finals, and the East for that matter, are a joke.
