Tonight, some will leave behind a game that proves "he was here."
When the ball went in, the lead reached 11 points, and the Lakers desperately called for a timeout.
Frye was going to win.
It was gradually becoming a consensus outside of the game, his career would peak this year, and he'd surpass all players in history.
On this fateful night, Phil Jackson's last-minute decision tied up the loose ends beyond time.
He gave up on Artest and also on Antawn Jamison, replacing them with Mike Bibby and Eddie House, leaving the Lakers without a proper Power Forward on the floor, but with the ability for all five to spread out.
Jackson wanted to shorten the attacking distance for Kobe and James, hoping to exploit the full-spread lineup to call for pick and rolls and let James punish the SuperSonics' defensive flaws in the low post.
And who was the weak link?
Of course, it was Brandon Roy.
After the timeout, the world saw this scene.
