Life as we know it is different if he wins this game. Absolutely absurd performance.

Really the greatest I’ve ever seen. Tim Thomas 😡😡😡

No one has ever been more locked in

I was at this game in great seats. This was the first game of the series where KB tried to win by himself. Phil got on him about it after the game, so that’s why he went on strike in game 7 🤣

He should’ve won! But Lamar Odom Tim Thomas etc etc smh. But whatever Mike and Wilt did the same shit lol

Smush was pouting all game when Kobe went hero mode. Tim Thomas shot was crazy. Boris Diaw killed them late too

Smush Parker was mad the greatest scoring season of the last 25 years wouldn’t pass him the ball but everyone has the right to an opinion

Not saying it’s right, just what I remember happening. That series Phil got the vibes high with equal opportunity ball. They were running stuff through Lamar, Kwame, and Luke Walton in the post because the Suns were too small. Kobe went for the jugular in game 6 and when it didn’t work, the vibes were done.

Just wanted that W on his resume. Never got enough credit for raising a lot of guys games before or during those championship years. Everyone but Pau was basically out the league after 2011.

My hate for Tim Thomas has never faded. Pain still there rewatching

This and game 4 in 08 are the 2 games I get sick to my stomach. 1 rebound away here from winning the series

God, what an amazing player he was. There’s a part of me that truly believes Kobe gets #4 that year. He's not losing to the clippers, those mavs teams crumbled under pressure, and he'd beat shaq in the finals purely out of spite. A run that spectacular deserved a better ending

Playoff game performance against this Suns team with Brian Cook, Smush, Kwame, Luke, and Ronny Turiaf getting minutes should count as a 6th chip

IS THIS WHEN HE CHOKED THE 3-1 LEAD🤣🤣🤣🤣TO STEVE NASH?🤣🤣🤣

Would have defeated the Clippers in the next round.

He’s so underrated all time man. People slander his name he was so great

Tim Thomas

They make it to at least the WCF or maybe even the Finals if they win that game. Could've gotten a Kobe vs Shaq finals matchup

This is a first round game, let him try and score 40 more than once in the finals

I know what I saw 💯 top 7 all time

Props to Shawn Marion, he always draws the opposing teams toughest assignments, which is why he is often on the receiving end of these highlight reels

I remember Barkley hating ass was hating heavy after this game
