The game-tying shot made by Kobe in this game ranks all the way up among the toughest shots ever to win an NBA game. With Ruben Patterson paying close attention to him, Kobe tries to create separation for a better look from downtown, but he does not find a screen to help him out. Stopping the dribble, Kobe makes incredible use of his footwork and athleticism to launch a 3-pointer fully contested by Patterson. The shot goes into the despair of the Trail Blazers fans.

Kobe isn't done for the game, though. Finding himself in a hot streak in double overtime, Kobe splashes a turnaround, off-balance 3-pointer, beating away a tough contest. The degree of difficulty of these two shots is probably the highest of any game-winner attempted by Kobe, but he drains them, all the same, to win the division title for the Lakers.
