Laker Nation, remember the 2000 Western Conference Finals? Before King Kobe became a legend, he had to get past a true matchup nightmare: Bonzi Wells of the Blazers. Even the Black Mamba admitted Bonzi gave him fits on both ends, forcing Kobe to level up his post defense. That series was a turning point, helping shape Kobe into the champion we all remember. Who else remembers those battles? #Sports #Basketball #KobeBryant
