Dunk of Death

After the 2001 Finals Game 4, Jim Gray interviews Kobe…

“I love you Kobe.” - Shaq mumbles as he comes over.

[…interview goes on as usual for a bit…]

“You love him as well?” - Jim asks Kobe.

“Right back at him, man…right back at him.” - Kobe.

"A love fest, who would have ever thought that?” - Jim Gray.

This came after a tumultuous 2000/01 season, where we saw the first Kobe vs. Shaq alpha dog struggle. Before that season, it was clearly Shaq-1, Kobe-2, but with Kobe (22 years old in 2001) averaging 28-6-5  and clearly taking on a bigger role in the Lakers offense it was getting a bit testy between the two.

Anthony Davis followed a crazy regular season with postseason averages of 31.5 points, 11 rebounds & 3 blocks + 89% from the free throw line. He's only 21.

Basketball Hall of Fame, Class of ‘83

His number (#27) retired by the Sacramento Kings

6x NBA All-Star & 2x All-NBA Second Team

When he retired in 1966, Twyman ranked 4th in career games played (823) & 7th all-time in points (15,840).

Along with teammates Oscar Robertson and Wayne Embry, Twyman forced the 1963 Boston Celtics to 7-games in the Eastern Conference Finals. They lost in spectacular fashion, 142-131

Twyman became the legal guardian of his teammate Maurice Stokes, a talented player who became paralyzed due to a head injury he suffered during a game. Twyman would remain Stokes' guardian and advocate until Stokes died in 1970. (source)
