2009-10 NBA GAMES
Denver Nuggets vs. Philadelphia 76ers - 12/7/09
It was an emotional night at the Wachovia Center as favorite son Allen Iverson returned to Philly after a several-year absence to standing ovations from the home crowd. The building buzzed every time he touched the ball, and each basket was cheered as if it were a playoff winner. It was a humble debut, with Iverson scoring only 11 points, but the intensity of the event makes the game a must-watch.
New York Knicks vs. Denver Nuggets - 11/27/09
Hearing chants of "MVP! MVP!" from the home crowd, Carmelo Anthony went for a career-high 50 points in this fast-paced thriller. He was almost matched by Knick forward Al Harrington, who scored 41 points in a losing effort.
Golden State Warriors vs. Milwaukee Bucks - 11/14/09
Brandon Jennings scored 55 points and smashed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's rookie record with a dazzling array of jumpshots and lightning quick drives to the hoop. Jennings poured in 29 points in the third quarter, then 16 in the fourth to hold off the Warriors and become only the third Bucks player to score more than 50. He topped the 51 points scored by Abdul-Jabbar, then Lew Alcindor, on Feb. 21, 1970. It was also the most points scored by a rookie since Earl Monroe had 56 on Feb. 13, 1968. The NBA rookie record was set by Wilt Chamberlain with 58 points for Philadelphia against Detroit in a January 1960 game in Bethlehem, Pa.
Phoenix Suns vs. Philadelphia 76ers - 11/09/09
The Suns completed a 4-1 road trip with an impressive 119-115 win over the 76ers in Philly, moving to 7-1 overall for a surprising start to their season. Two-time MVP Steve Nash put up a 20-20 game, with 21 points and a season-high-tying 20 assists. Six Suns players scored in double figures, paced by Jason Richardson's 29. Philly forward Andre Iguodala led the Sixers with 24 points.
Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns - 10/30/09
Phoenix got off to a fast start in the 2009-10 season, with Steve Nash dropping 20 assists in a 123-101 rout of the Warriors in the Suns' home opener. Nash's assist total was two shy of his career high, set in a triple-overtime game against the New York Knicks on Jan. 2, 2006. All five Phoenix starters scored in double figures, led by Leandro Barbosa's 24 points. Golden State rookie point guard Stephen Curry had 12 points and four assists.
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers - 10/27/09

Green, Rick Fox and Robert Horry. After the sometimes emotional ceremony, in which the Lakers' 15th gold-and-purple championship banner was unveiled, the team got back to the job of defending their title by defeating the hapless Clippers 99-92. Kobe scored 33 points and Andrew Bynum added 26. Eric Gordon had 21 for the Clips.

Pau Gasol chipped in with 16 points and 8 rebounds and Lamar Odom added 11 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic actually had a lead early in the second quarter but then Kobe took over, and by the half the Lakers were ahead by 10 points. Not helping their cause, Orlando's outside snipers all shot poorly. Magic guard Jameer Nelson saw action on the court for the first time since Feb. 2, since undergoing shoulder surgery.
Game 2 - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic - 06/07/09
This was a tight contest throughout, with the Magic having a good chance to win it in regulation. However, when a last-second Hedo Tukoglu alley-oop to rookie Courtney Lee went awry, the game went into overtime, with the Lakers taking control and winning by a score of 101-96. Gasol was the main man in OT, scoring 7 of the Lakers' 13 points.

Orlando set the pace with a sizzling 75 percent shooting performance in the first half, and ended the game with balanced scoring — five players scored 18 points or more points. Kobe had 31 points and 8 assists but only shot 11-for-25, also misfiring on 5 of 10 free throw attempts. It was the Magic franchise's first Finals victory, as in their previous 1995 trip the team that featured Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway was swept by the Houston Rockets.
Game 4 - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic - 06/11/09
In what turned out to be the decisive game of the series, Derek Fisher hit the biggest shot of his career when he nailed a tying three-pointer over an inexplicably back-pedaling Jameer Nelson. The shocked Magic, who evidently thought they had the game under control, never recovered and lost 99-91 to fall into a 3-1 series deficit. Kobe paced the Lakers with 32 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. With 11 seconds left in the game Howard, who had 16 points, 21 rebounds and a Finals record 9 blocks, missed two critical free throws — one of which would have made it a two-possession game. Fisher had missed all 5 of his 3-point attempts before nailing the one that forced overtime.
Game 5 - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic - 06/14/09
The Lakers gave coach Phil Jackson his 10th overall championship, breaking the tie with Red Auerbach for the most titles. In the 99-86 victory, Kobe, the obvious choice for Finals MVP, racked up 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. The Magic started the game with an early 15-6 lead but couldn't consistently make their three-pointers. The Lakers clamped down defensively, and when they went on a 16-0 run in the decisive second quarter, the game and series were all but over. Gasol dominated the paint, ending up with 14 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. and Odom contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds. Thus ended an entertaining Finals series that was not quite as lopsided as the eventual 4-1 result.

LA LAKERS GAMES

This was reinforced during the 2008 trial of disgraced referee Tim Donaghy when he alleged that game officials, acting in the interest of the NBA, conspired to extend a playoff series in 2002 to a seventh game. The Lakers-Kings series was the only one that went to seven games in that year.
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers - 06/06/01
Led by Allen Iverson, the upstart Sixers stunned the heavily-favored Lakers with a 107-101 OT win in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Championships.

All-Star Game - 02/08/98
A "mano-a-mano" duel between Air and Heir, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant took turns firing up shots in their first All-Star battle. The event was held in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Against mighty Georgetown, led by freshman Patrick Ewing, in the Louisiana Superdome, Worthy scored 28 points while Jordan hit the winning jump shot as the Tar Heels edged the Hoyas, 62-61. Worthy, who was named tourney MVP, also claimed the infamous errant pass in the waning seconds from Georgetown's Fred Brown to secure the victory.

Which Gold Medal-winning team was better - the 2008 "Redeem Team" or the 1992 "Dream Team"? Find out for yourself by selecting the Gold Medal games for both teams.
2008 Olympics Gold Medal Game - USA vs. Spain - 08/24/08
The so-called "Redeem Team" finished the job they set out to do, by restoring America's primacy in men's basketball - but it was no easy task. The Spanish National Team that was soundly beaten the previous week by the US squad in pool play proved to be a tough, resilient opponent and remained in close contention to win until the last two minutes of the game. Late game heroics by Kobe Bryant helped save the day for the Redeem Team in one of the most exciting Olympic basketball games in recent memory.
1992 Olympics Gold Medal Game - USA vs. Croatia - 08/08/92
Popularly known as the greatest team assembled in any sport, the first Dream Team, led by Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was truly a dominant force in the Barcelona Olympics. Although most will recall the team's absurdly high margin of victory over clearly overmatched opponents, the Gold Medal game was actually a tight contest in the early going. A Croatian team led by the late Drazen Petrovic and the then-best player in Europe, Tony Kukoc, actually led the US squad 25-23 early in the first half and continued to play in a spirited, non-intimidated fashion throughout the game. The expected end result was a coronation, of sorts, and like with the Redeem Team's victory, placed America at the top of the men's basketball heap after the failure to win the Gold by college players in 1988.
