Let's go back to April 26, 2006, when the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Phoenix Suns in the second game of the first round of playoffs. This game produced another unforgettable moment for Kobe Bryant, adding to his already impressive collection.

At the time, the Lakers were trailing 0-1 in the series and were leading by seven points with just over three minutes remaining in the game. Lamar Odom grabbed a long rebound and passed it to Bryant, who swiftly made his way to the rim and dunked the ball with such force that he posterized Steve Nash in the process.

At this point in his career, Kobe was already a dominant force in the league, but this moment solidified his status as a basketball legend. With the Lakers trailing in the game, Kobe took matters into his own hands, driving to the basket and rising above Nash for a thunderous one-handed dunk.

But this video isn't just about one dunk - it's about the legacy of Kobe Bryant and the impact he had on the sport of basketball. We'll take a look back at some of his other iconic moments, from his buzzer-beaters to his championships, and examine what made him such a special player.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable trip down memory lane, as we relive one of the greatest moments in NBA history. Watch the highlights, hear from the players, and join the conversation on one of the most iconic dunks of all time.
