Customer Reviews of Los Angeles Lakers 1999-2000 NBA Champions
Must have for lakers fans... Well, I just watched it and I have to admit I almost got choked up at a few points. Call me a sap, but the thing was really well done, with great interviews, music, and highlights. Pretty well written, too. The tape is a must have for Laker fan.
It put the championship in the framework of the three most recent playoff failures, starting with Shaq & Kobe's first year in L.A., and that humilating loss to the Jazz... It does a great job telling the story of the season, mostly the playoffs.
A few gems from the tape: -- After the final game, during the celebration, the tape shows Harper turning to Jackson and asking, "Can I retire now?" After they laugh, he says, "Don't worry, I'll be back next year..." -- Lots of great Chick moments, including a line near the end of Game 7 vs. Portland where he says "Portland needs to return their Champagne and get some water, 'cause that's all they're gonna be drinking!" -- Shaq torturing an apple on a bus and eating it not unlike Mango from SNL....
It could be better
First of all : I'm not a Lakers fan. I bought this DVD because I love basketball and from the first day i had my DVD Player i wanted to have NBA DVDs. This Edition is a must have for Lakers fans. You have everything : from the regular season to the finals, the parade in LA, featurettes on Kobe, Shaq, Phil Jackson and Ron Harper. One of the things i like the most is the Top 10 plays of the 99-00 season. Maybe I would have liked to have more of the regular season and not so much focus on the finals (you can watch a resume of every game). The image is really good and you have a nice 5.1 mix.
Got lucky
The only reason this video even exists is because LA got lucky. There was doubt that the Portland Trailblazers were the better team, and they had that Game 7 in the bag, until the officals decided to help the Lakers back into the game so they could have them in the finals to keep the ratings up. No one wanted to see the old Portland Trailblazers in the finals against the Pacers. You had to have the circus freak Lakers in there with Kobe and Shaq to keep the little kids happy. Remember, this was the first full NBA season following the embarressing lockout-shortening season where the ratings took a nosedive.
The Lakers are nothing more then a recycled Chicago Bulls team with Phil Jackson's ENTIRE coaching staff, and a few former Bulls with the likes of Ron harper, Horace Grant, among others. AS a Bulls fan, I was so upset about Phil going to LA, and even more upset about him winning it alongside those punks Shaq and Kobe. Luck ran out on the Lakers this past season when the Spurs waxed them, and I hope it happens again!
