This Day In Lakers History: Kobe Bryant Buzzer-Beater Over Dwyane Wade

If there is one thing the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is known for, it is his penchant for coming through in clutch situations.

The highlight reel of Kobe game-winners and buzzer-beaters is truly amazing and on Dec. 4, 2009, he added one of his most memorable classics. The defending champion Lakers were in a back-and-forth battle with the Dwyane Wade-led Miami Heat.

The game was close throughout as the two future Hall of Famers consistently traded baskets. Down the stretch it looked as if the Lakers’ seven-game winning streak would come to an end.
