0:00 1:00:27

Bomani Jones is joined by J.A. Adande for Time Machine Tuesday to look back at the Shaq-Kobe Lakers three-peat and the drama behind one of the most dominant runs in NBA history.

They discuss how Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant arrived in Los Angeles, why it took years for the Lakers to finally break through, and how the 2001 team became one of the most unstoppable playoff squads ever. Bomani and J.A. also revisit the tension between Shaq and Kobe, Phil Jackson’s role in holding it all together, the iconic 2000 Game 7 comeback against Portland, the 2001 destruction of the West, Allen Iverson’s Game 1 moment, and the controversial 2002 Western Conference Finals against Sacramento.
