Exactly 15 years ago today—on June 14, 2000—a 21-year-old Kobe Bryant stepped up in the clutch of Game 4 of the 2000 NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers won thanks to three big buckets from Kobe down the stretch, and took a commanding 3-1 lead over Indiana. LA went on to win the series in six games. It was the first of three straight titles for the Lakers. Watch a young Kobe doin’ work in the video above.
