Awesomest video ever

I absolutely cannot stop watching this video. Save for the horrible grammar (this guy is Polish, give him a break), it is ridiculous. Not going to lie, I may have shed a tear while watching this (okay, an obvious exaggeration, as it is a biologically proven fact that Jason does not have any tear ducts). But seriously, check it out:




You know how most people remember where they were and what they were doing during a historical/memorable moment? Well let's take a stroll down memory lane as I recall where I was during all of these great Laker moments:

The historic comeback against Portland in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals - This was their first title run, and my first time ever watching every single Laker game of the entire season (no joke). So I was really angry when the Lakers were down and it looked like their title chances were over. I remember actually getting mad and hitting my coffee table...upon which I received a harsh scolding from my dad. Haha. The Lakers then made their historic run and I quickly became a very, very happy kid.

Robert Horry's 3 at the buzzer to save elimination from the Sacramento Kings - Was my spring break of my junior year in high school and I was up north visiting colleges with Jennifer, Derek, Sam and Cary. We had just gone on tour of Stanford and got back in the car when Sam turned on the radio to ESPN and we listened to the final seconds as Robert Horry nailed that 3 to seal the series.

Derek Fisher's incredible 0.4 second shot at the buzzer - "One lucky shot deserves another" - Shaq. Was watching it at home with my mom. Such an incredible moment.

Kobe scoring 81 points against the Raptors - Was my junior year at Penn and just hanging out with my roommates when Jonathon Seigler runs in the room and yells "dude! Kobe just dropped 81". I scream like a little teenage girl and run to turn on ESPN. For the following week I cannot for the life of me stop watching replays of his god-like performance that night.

Kobe nailing that buzzer-beater of the Suns in the 1st round - As with most playoff games, this was during finals week. I had forced myself to stay in the library and had given myself a restraining order to stay away from any TV in sight. The great thing about the 21st century though, is the internet. =) So instead of studying, I ended up just watching the ESPN Gamecast play-by-play on my laptop in the library. When the score was too close in the 4th quarter, I couldn't take it anymore and RAN home to catch the final minutes (so much for studying). Together with my roommates, we oo'd and aah'd as Kobe caught the ball in midcourt, weaved his way down to the right elbow of the key, and hit that shot over 2 Suns. The fist pump as he strolled down court afterwards was stuff made for the ages.

Lakers winning the 2009 NBA Championships - Watched the game at home with my mom. As soon as the Lakers won and the festivities were underway, I get a text from Amy saying, "hey! wanna go to the riots?"... I jump out of the couch, run to throw on my Pau Gasol t-shirt and we both headed off to Staples. Good times!
