Forgotten Seasons

2004 Lakers with Josiah Johnson and Jelani McCoy


Listen Later

NBA Twitter legend Josiah Johnson and former NBA hooper and Showtime Basketball producer Jelani McCoy join Dylan Dreyfuss to dive deep into the 2004 Lakers season. This was the last year of the Kobe/Shaq era in LA, and it was also the year where their feud really exploded in the public. Karl Malone and Gary Payton come over in free agency, and when at full strength, this Lakers group was elite. They won 56 games, finished as the #2 seed in the West, defeated the defending champion Spurs in the playoffs, but got embarrassed by the Pistons in The Finals. On today's episode, we discuss Shaq and Kobe's relationship, the "mind tricks" of Phil Jackson, the Lakers v. Pistons Finals, and a lot more.
